Detailed Information About JP Morgan

History of JP Morgan

According to Wikipedia, The JPMorgan Chase logo was before the 2008 rebranding. As of June 2008, the JPMorgan logo is used for the company's Investment Banking, Asset Management, and Treasury & Securities Services units.

JP Morgan Chase, in its current form, resulted from the merger of several major U.S. banking institutions in 1996, including Chase Manhattan Bank, J.P. Morgan & Co., and Bank One, along with the acquisition of assets from Bear Stearns, Washington Mutual, and First Republic. The company's history also includes several notable predecessor banks, such as Chemical Bank, Manufacturers Hanover, First Chicago Bank, National Bank of Detroit, Texas Commerce Bank, Providian Financial, and Great Western Bank.

The oldest of these predecessors, The Bank of the Manhattan Company, was founded by Aaron Burr on September 1, 1799. It was the third oldest banking institution in the U.S. and the 31st oldest in the world.
