Which company formed in 2000 through the merger of J.P. Morgan and Chase Manhattan?

JPMorgan Chase formed in 2000 through the merger of J.P. Morgan and Chase Manhattan. The combination joined a major investment bank with a large commercial banking organization and created one of the largest financial institutions in the United States.

The modern company also reflects a much longer chain of mergers involving institutions such as Chemical Bank, Manufacturers Hanover, Bank One, and Washington Mutual. Jamie Dimon became chief executive in 2005 after JPMorgan Chase acquired Bank One, where he had previously been chairman and CEO.

JPMorgan Chase operates through businesses including consumer banking, commercial banking, investment banking, asset management, and payments. Its corporate name is often written without a space as JPMorgan Chase, while “J.P. Morgan” commonly refers to the firm’s investment-banking and institutional businesses.
