Which bank was created in 2000 by merging J.P. Morgan and Chase Manhattan?

JPMorgan Chase was created in 2000 by merging J.P. Morgan and Chase Manhattan.

The merger joined J.P. Morgan, a major investment bank, with Chase Manhattan, a large commercial bank. The combined company was initially named J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.; it later became JPMorgan Chase & Co., the name used today.

J.P. Morgan's history reaches back to predecessor institutions founded in the nineteenth century, while Chase Manhattan grew from the Bank of The Manhattan Company, established in 1799. Their merger created a financial group with major investment banking, commercial banking, asset-management, and consumer-banking operations.

JPMorgan Chase is often confused with JPMorgan, which commonly refers to the firm's investment-banking and institutional businesses. Chase generally refers to the consumer and commercial banking brand in the United States, while both operate within the same parent company.
