Chase

As the second-largest branch network in America, Chase has more than 5,400 retail bank offices and more than 15,000 ATM locations. Like other big banks, Chase has grown to its current size through a series of mergers and acquisitions. Chase was formed in 1955 when Chase National Bank and the Bank of Manhattan Co. merged. It merged with JPMorgan in 2000. It acquired Washington Mutual in 2008 and expanded its national reach to 23 states.

A member of the FDIC, Chase is the retail banking division of the giant financial institution JPMorgan Chase. Its corporate headquarters is located in New York, and the commercial banking side of the company is based in Chicago.
