Description
American multinational banking and financial services company JP Morgan Chase has announced that it will create 2,500 jobs at its new global corporate centre in Warsaw. The move was announced in September 2017 by Steve Cohen, JP Morgan Chase’s managing director, and Mateusz Morawiecki, Poland’s deputy prime minister. In November 2017 the company revealed that it has just leased an office in Atrium Garden, an office space in Warsaw. The company decided to shift some operations from Britain to other members of the European Union given the UK's upcoming departure from the EU single market.
JP Morgan is the largest bank in the United States and one of the world’s largest banks. The company was established in 2000 by merging Chase Manhattan Corporation and JP Morgan & Co. The company operates in 100 countries worldwide.
