About the Organizations Mentioned
JPMorgan Chase
JPMorgan Chase & Co. stands as a titan of global finance, recognized as the largest bank in the United States by assets and the world’s biggest by market capitalization as of 2024[2][4]. Headquartered in New York City, it operates in over 100 countries, employs approximately 300,000 people, and manages assets nearing $4 trillion[4][5]. The firm’s vast suite of services spans consumer and commercial banking, investment banking, asset management, and financial technology, serving millions of individuals, businesses, and institutions worldwide[2][5].

It played a pivotal role in stabilizing the U.S. economy during the panics of 1893 and 1907, and its leadership under CEO Jamie Dimon has been widely praised for navigating the global
