Chase traces its roots to the late 1700s through the Bank of the Manhattan Company, and the Chase name later grew through the 1877 founding of Chase National Bank and the 1955 merger that formed Chase Manhattan Bank. The modern business sits within JPMorganChase, which formed in 2000 from the merger of J.P. Morgan & Co. and Chase Manhattan Company. Chase offers personal and business banking, credit cards, home loans, auto financing, investing, retirement planning, and commercial banking services through a broad consumer and institutional platform. JPMorganChase positions Chase and J.P. Morgan as complementary brands serving consumers, small businesses, corporate clients, and government clients in the United States and internationally.
