“Can the world's largest bank become the default embedded financial infrastructure layer for platforms, marketplaces, and enterprise software — offering payments, lending, payroll, identity, and retirement via API without a BaaS intermediary?”
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is the world's largest bank by market capitalisation, operating through consumer banking (Chase), commercial banking, investment banking (J.P. Morgan), and asset management. The Payments division has pivoted sharply toward embedded finance, repositioning the bank from a traditional acquirer/processor into an infrastructure provider that platforms and marketplaces embed directly into their products. Between 2023 and 2025 the bank launched end-to-end embedded finance APIs, added Gusto Embedded for payroll, Vestwell for retirement, Klarna for BNPL, and Trulioo for identity — effectively assembling a modular financial-services stack that enterprise SaaS platforms and marketplaces can white-label through J.P. Morgan's own licensing rather than through BaaS intermediaries.
