JPMorgan Chase
Also a provider — view JPMorgan Chase’s profile →“Can the world's largest bank simultaneously be the embedded-finance infrastructure provider for other platforms AND a direct-to-consumer digital bank in new geographies?”
JPMorgan Chase is the result of 1,200+ predecessor institutions consolidated over 225 years, most notably the 2000 Chase Manhattan / J.P. Morgan merger and the 2004 Bank One deal that installed Jamie Dimon. Post-2008, the firm added Bear Stearns, Washington Mutual, and (in 2023) First Republic. In the last five years the strategic pivot has been to become a technology-forward embedded finance provider: J.P. Morgan Payments is being marketed as an end-to-end platform (onboarding, acquiring, accounts, payouts, FX) that platforms and marketplaces embed, while Chase itself is being extended into direct digital retail banking in new geographies (Chase UK, now with embedded insurance).
