JPMorganChase Accelerates Affluent Offering by Opening 14 New Financial Centers in Four States
Plans call for 31 New Financial Centers to be opened by end of 2026
NEW YORK, May 27, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JPMorganChase today announced it is expanding its affluent banking offering by opening 14 new J.P. Morgan Financial Centers across four states, bringing a uniquely tailored and high-touch experience to millions of potential clients.
JPMorganChase leaders will officially open the new centers this week in California, Florida, Massachusetts and New York in local ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Combined with the two J.P. Morgan Financial Centers that opened in late 2024, the firm has a total of 16 locations, with plans to nearly double that by the end of next year.
"Through these Financial Centers, we are redefining how affluent clients are served, offering a highly personalized level of service that is backed by the global capabilities of JPMorganChase," said Jennifer Roberts, CEO of Chase Consumer Banking.
J.P. Morgan Financial Centers are the newest branch format from the nation's largest bank, thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of affluent clients. Each location features private meeting spaces and distinctive finishes, creating an environment of privacy, sophistication and comfort.
Clients who qualify for the J.P. Morgan Private Client offering will benefit from personalized support from a dedicated Senior Private Client Banker who brings the full breadth of JPMorganChase's expertise and extensive banking and wealth management offerings to each and every relationship.
"When we meet with clients, they consistently say they want a relationship that spans across banking, lending and investments, and provides a seamless experience as they navigate the complexities of managing and growing wealth," Roberts said. "These new Financial Centers offer a highly personalized service model, providing greater flexibility to meet clients' needs with exceptional attention and care."
A New Standard in Affluent Banking
JPMorganChase has been steadily expanding its affluent offering to help clients build better futures for themselves and their families by continuing to offer best-in-class services, products and benefits, based on relationship value.
Chase Private Client is a relationship product designed for clients with $150,000 or more in qualifying deposit and investment balances. It is available in all 5,000 Chase branches nationwide.
J.P. Morgan Private Client introduces the next level of affluent relationship offerings for clients with more than $750,000 in qualifying deposit and investment balances. Clients receive highly personalized attention from a dedicated banker and a seasoned team of experts across personal banking, business banking, lending and planning. This dedicated partnership includes J.P. Morgan Wealth Management advisors, who deliver industry-leading investment advice and solutions.
J.P. Morgan Private Client services are available at the new Financial Centers, and in 14 remote offices nationwide. The office-based model, inspired by First Republic, caters to clients who may find it difficult to meet in person. Each office is led by a Relationship Manager, providing a single point of contact with dedicated support.
"The power of our coverage model means we can serve affluent clients according to their personal preferences," said Stevie Baron, Head of Affluent Banking. "Clients can visit a Financial Center, or work with a Relationship Manager in one of our office locations, if that is more convenient. We're excited to expand this new service model across our Financial Centers and remote offices to deliver highly personalized care and full access to the capabilities that JPMorganChase can offer in service of our clients' ambitions for their wealth and legacies."
New Financial Centers Located in Prominent Locations
The new Financial Centers are primarily former First Republic locations that were acquired in May 2023. They include some of the most prominent locations in America, including Palm Beach, Florida; Napa, California; Madison Avenue, New York; and Cambridge, Massachusetts. Clients without a nearby Financial Center can still access all the benefits of a J.P. Morgan Private Client relationship through Relationship Managers in offices designed to support clients remotely.

JPMorganChase Tailors its Branch Network to Meet Client Needs
Chase branches operate in several different formats, depending on the specific needs of clients and the community. Some locations include meeting rooms and private spaces for personal conversations, while high-volume, full-service branches feature multiple transaction windows.

These Community Centers are part of Chase's community-inspired branch network, which includes 300 locations in underserved areas.
"We firmly believe that our strategy of an extensive branch network, combined with great digital capabilities, and a team of experts who can advise customers on a variety of topics, leaves us uniquely positioned to be the primary financial partner for our customers today, tomorrow and for many years to come," Roberts said.
Chase has the largest branch network in the United States and is the only bank to have branches in all lower 48 states. Last year Chase opened more than 150 branches and is well on its way to meeting its goal of opening 500 new branches by the end of 2027.

Americans Will Put Money In Amazon And Walmart Stablecoins
HONG KONG, CHINA: An advertisement featuring Donald Trump with Solana, XRP, USDC Bitcoin in Hong ... More Kong. (Photo by May James/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) OBSERVATIONS FROM THE FINTECH SNARK TANK Stablecoins were once a crypto curiosity. With the passing of the GENIUS Act, they're now a legitimate threat—or opportunity—depending on your perspective. The Act lays the groundwork for a new regulatory regime around these digital assets. JPMorgan Chase has already filed a trademark for a digital deposit token, signaling its intent to create a bank-issued stablecoin product. For other banks, the Act raises urgent questions: 1) Should it support the regulation? 2) How will stablecoins impact deposits, operations, and financial risk? and 3) Should the bank issue its own stablecoin? The GENIUS Act at a Glance The GENIUS Act aims to bring regulatory clarity to stablecoins by establishing licensing requirements, setting capital and liquidity standards, and placing supervision under the Federal Reserve and other regulators. Key provisions include: Amazon and Walmart Stablecoins: Threat to Bank Deposits? Stablecoins could divert significant transaction volume—and core deposits—away from banks as retailers, fintechs, and Big Techs issue branded stablecoins that lead consumers to move cash into stablecoins for convenience, rewards, or programmability. In this scenario, stablecoins become functional equivalents of bank deposits—but without the FDIC insurance, relationship ties, or regulatory protections banks provide. This risk isn't theoretical: Deposit displacement has been happening for years. A new study from Cornerstone Advisors found that $2.15 trillion has already left banks for fintech investment accounts--65% of which has come from Gen Xers and Baby Boomers. This is on top of the estimated $10 billion that Americans have sitting in merchant mobile apps like Starbucks' in any given week. JPMorgan's Stablecoin Response: JPMD Deposit Token JPMD is initially designed for institutional clients and will be issued on Coinbase's Base blockchain, targeting on‑chain settlements and cross-border B2B transfers. Kinexys, JPMorgan's blockchain arm, markets the stablecoin as a 'deposit token'—a fully insured, interest‑bearing digital representation of bank deposits—making it easy to reconcile with existing banking operations. Unlike other stablecoins backed by Treasuries, JPMD is a tokenized claim on JPMorgan deposits, integrating deposit insurance and liquidity. Launched just as the GENIUS Act passed the Senate, JPMD highlights JPMorgan's positioning under the new stablecoin framework: 1) 100% reserve backing; 2) monthly disclosures; and 3) regulated issuance. By issuing tokenized bank money instead of a traditional stablecoin, JPMorgan safeguards its deposit base, ensuring it remains on‑balance‑sheet and insured. The deposit token effectively blends digital currency innovation with traditional banking strength: insured, interest-bearing, and blockchain-enabled. Cons of the GENIUS Act for Banks JPMD positions JPMorgan for future growth in digital settlements and institutional digital asset operations. Other banks are watching closely because JPMD may soon set the standard for what a 'bank-issued stablecoin' really looks like. For the rest of the industry, there are pros and cons to the new regulations. The downsides: Pros of the GENIUS Act for Banks There are positives, however, from a bank perspective: And as payments expert Tom Noyes writes: 'The idea that stablecoins are inherently cost disruptive needs a reality check. Most regulators will likely view a bank's role in stablecoin issuance and transmission through a lens similar to that of real-time payments. Anyone claiming that stablecoins will operate at a significantly lower cost fundamentally misunderstands the operational and regulatory realities of banking.' Stablecoins' Operational and Risk Considerations The decision on what banks should do about stablecoins can't be made without assessing various types of risk the cryptocurrency introduces include: How Banks Should React to the GENIUS Act Whether or not a bank chooses to issue its own stablecoin, the adoption of tokenized money is inevitable. The question is no longer if stablecoins will affect deposit bases--it's how much and who controls them. Here's how banks can prepare: Banks must weigh the trade-offs: the opportunity to innovate versus the risk of disintermediation. The cost of inaction may not be reputational—it may be financial erosion as tech-native alternatives capture consumer funds. For banks who act, the GENIUS Act, and Amazon and Walmart stablecoins, aren't threats--they're a blueprint.

Banks Drop the Climate Pretense and Follow the Money
Forget betrayal. Forget backsliding. What global banks are doing right now isn't a reversal of climate commitments—it's a long-overdue reality check. In 2024, they dumped nearly $900 billion into fossil fuel financing, according to the latest 'Banking on Climate Chaos' report. And while advocacy groups are clutching their pearls, investors are quietly nodding. Banks funding fossil fuels haven't lost their way—they've just stopped pretending. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Barclays topped the charts, each tacking on over $10 billion in new fossil-fuel financing. JPM alone dropped $53.5 billion into oil, gas, and coal. That's not exactly chump change—and it's certainly not the behavior of an institution planning to kick the hydrocarbon habit anytime soon. Critics say this undermines climate targets. The reality? These banks were never designed to hit climate targets. Their mandate is to maximize returns. And with interest rates stabilizing, oil prices firming, and energy demand still rising globally, fossil fuel investments—messy, profitable, scalable—are back in vogue. Yes, some of these banks made splashy commitments during the ESG boom. They joined net-zero alliances. They funded glossy sustainability reports. But those were branding exercises, not binding strategies. The minute those commitments became a regulatory liability—or a political punchline—they started dissolving. Exhibit A: the exodus from the UN-sponsored Net-Zero Banking Alliance, timed nicely with President Trump's return to office. 'This reversal exemplifies the limits of voluntary commitments by financial firms whose primary goal is short-term profit,' the report complains. That's the closest the report comes to admitting the obvious: voluntary green finance was always a shaky foundation for fact, the Banking on Climate Chaos report makes that plain: banks committed $869 billion to fossil fuel companies in 2024 alone—up $162 billion from the year before. Nearly half of that financing came from U.S.-based banks, with JPMorgan Chase leading at $53.5 billion, followed by Bank of America ($46 billion) and Citigroup ($44.7 billion). Barclays was the top fossil fuel financier in Europe at $35.4 billion. Meanwhile, over $347 billion went to the top 100 companies actively expanding their fossil fuel not lost on anyone that some of the same banks being scolded for fossil fuel financing are still pouring money into renewables and climate tech. But here's the thing: they're not missionaries—they're market players. And right now, oil and gas projects are delivering stable returns, while clean tech continues to wrestle with cost overruns, supply chain headaches, and policy volatility. Banks are not public policy arms. They're capital allocators. And right now, capital is flowing toward fossil fuels for one simple reason: the energy transition isn't happening fast enough to make renewables the better bet. There's also the regulatory vacuum to consider. As long as no one is forcing banks to price in climate risk with real teeth, voluntary initiatives will keep folding under pressure. A report can scold them all it wants—until there's a law on the books or a tax on the balance sheet, banks will do what they've always done: follow the money. What's more, climate advocacy itself has lost coherence. The same groups that demand banks stop lending to fossil fuels often oppose mining permits for the metals and minerals needed for clean tech. That contradiction hasn't gone unnoticed in boardrooms. Banks, to their credit, have at least picked a lane: they'll fund what actually gets built. And for now, what's getting built—at scale, at speed, and at profit—is still largely oil and gas. As long as energy security, inflation, and political volatility remain unresolved, fossil fuels will continue to look like the safer bet. Not morally. But financially. So yes, banks are still backing fossil fuels. And yes, they're still issuing climate reports. But no, they're not confused. They're just honest—at least in their balance sheets. The climate movement may not like it, but until the economics change or the regulations bite, this isn't a scandal. It's a strategy. And for now, it seems to be working.
