| About Chase The new JPMorgan Chase was created on July 1, 2004 upon completion of the holding company merger between JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank One Corporation. The mergers of the broker/dealer, credit card companies, and lead banks will be completed over the next nine months. The U.S. consumer and commercial banking businesses currently operate under the Chase and Bank One brands. These businesses include retail banking, credit card, home and auto finance, small business, middle market and mid-corporate banking. Once the merger of the Chase and Bank One businesses are complete, the Chase brand will be used to serve 850,000 small businesses and 31,000 commercial businesses through 2,300 branches in 17 states. It also will service 87 million credit cards. The retail and commercial banking businesses are headquartered in Chicago; the card business is headquartered in Delaware. Preparations for migration of Bank One products and services to the new Chase brand have begun, with changes planned to begin to appear first in credit cards. The company expects to begin changing bank branches on a state-by-state basis in early 2005. Currently, information about these capabilities can be found on chase.com and bankone.com. www.chaseinsurancegroup.com |
