JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., doing business as Chase, is a national bank that constitutes the consumer and commercial banking subsidiary of financial services firm JPMorgan Chase. The bank was known as Chase Manhattan Bank until it merged with J.P. Morgan & Co. in 2000. Chase Manhattan Bank was formed by the merger of the Chase National Bank and the Bank of the Manhattan Company in 1955. The bank is headquartered in Chicago, since its merger with Bank One Corporation in 2004. In 2008, the bank acquired the deposits and most of the assets of Washington Mutual.

Chase offers more than 5,100 branches and 16,100 ATMs nationwide.

JP Morgan Chase, through its CHASE subsidiary, is one of the Big Four banks of the United States.

History

The Manhattan Company

Chase traces its history back to the founding of The Manhattan Company by Aaron Burr on September 1, 1799, in a house at 40 Wall Street:

In addition to being fierce political and personal rivals, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton competed in business, with Burr's Bank of the Manhattan Company competing against Hamilton's Bank of New York. In 1804, their rivalry erupted into a duel, leading to the death of Alexander Hamilton. The dueling pistols are owned by the successor company of Chase Manhattan. They are currently on display in the lobby of the first floor of the JP Morgan Chase building at 383 Madison Ave in New York City.

Over two centuries after their duel, it can be said that the Bank of the Manhattan Company ultimately won the "business" side of the rivalry. In 2006, the modern-day Chase bought the retail banking division of the Bank of New York, who then only months later merged with Pittsburgh-based Mellon Financial to form the present-day BNY Mellon.

Chase National Bank

Chase National Bank was formed in 1877 by John Thompson. It was named after former United States Treasury Secretary and Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, although Chase did not have a connection with the bank.

The Chase National Bank acquired a number of smaller banks in the 1920s, through its Chase Securities Corporation. In 1926, for instance, it acquired Mechanics and Metals National Bank.

Its most significant acquisition though was the Equitable Trust Company of New York in 1930, the largest stockholder of which was John D. Rockefeller, Jr. This made it the largest bank in America and indeed the world.

Chase was primarily a wholesale bank, dealing with other prominent financial institutions and major corporate clients, such as General Electric, which had, through its RCA affiliate, leased prominent space and become a crucial first tenant of Rockefeller Center, rescuing that major project in 1930. The bank also is closely associated with and has financed the oil industry, having longstanding connections with its board of directors to the successor companies of Standard Oil, especially ExxonMobil, which are also Rockefeller holdings.

Merger as Chase Manhattan Bank

In 1955, Chase National Bank and The Manhattan Company merged to create Chase Manhattan Bank. As Chase was a much larger bank, it was first intended that Chase acquire the "Bank of Manhattan", as it was nicknamed, but it transpired that Burr's original charter for the Manhattan Company had not only included the clause allowing it to start a bank with surplus funds, but another requiring unanimous consent of shareholders for the bank to be taken over. The deal was therefore structured as an acquisition by the Bank of the Manhattan Company of Chase National, with John J. McCloy becoming chairman of the merged entity. This avoided the requirement of unanimous consent by shareholders.

In 1961, Chermayeff & Geismar designed a stylized octagon shape for Chase Manhattan Bank's new logo, and the octagon is still part of the bank's logo today. The Chase logo is a stylized representation of the primitive water pipes laid by the Manhattan Company, which were made by nailing together wooden planks.

Under McCloy's successor, George Champion, the antiquated 1799 state charter was relinquished for a modern one. In 1969, under the leadership of David Rockefeller, the bank became part of a bank holding company, the Chase Manhattan Corporation.

Merger with Chemical, J.P. Morgan

In July 1996, the Chase Manhattan Bank was purchased by Chemical Bank of New York, which had acquired Manufacturers Hanover Corporation and Texas Commerce Bank several years earlier. Although Chemical was the nominal survivor, the merged company retained the Chase name since it was better known (particularly outside the United States).

In December 2000, the combined Chase Manhattan completed the acquisition of J.P. Morgan & Co., one of the largest banking mergers to date. The combined company was renamed JPMorgan Chase & Co. In 2004 the bank also acquired Bank One, making Chase the largest credit card issuer in the US and JPMorgan Chase also acquired Bear Stearns & Co. and Washington Mutual in 2009. After closing around 400 branches of the combined company (less than 10% of the branches), Chase will have around 5,410 branches in 23 states as of the closing date of the acquisition. According to data from SNL Financial (data as of June 30, 2008), this places Chase third behind Wells Fargo and Bank of America in terms of total U.S. retail bank branches. In October of 2010, Chase was hit with two lawsuits regarding manipulation of the Silver market]. The suits allege that by managing giant positions in silver futures and options, the banks have influenced the prices of silver on the New York Stock Exchanges' Comex Exchange since early 2008.

Bank One Corporation

In 2004, JPMorgan Chase merged with Chicago based Bank One Corp., bringing on board its current chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon as president and COO and designating him as CEO William B. Harrison, Jr.'s successor. Dimon's pay was pegged at 90% of Harrison's. Dimon quickly made his influence felt by embarking on a cost-cutting strategy and replaced former JPMorgan Chase executives in key positions with Bank One executives—many of whom were with Dimon at Citigroup. Dimon became CEO in January 2006 and Chairman in December 2006 after Harrison's resignation.

Bank One Corporation was formed upon the 1998 merger between Banc One of Columbus, Ohio and First Chicago NBD. These two large banking companies had themselves been created through the merger of many banks. JPMorgan Chase completed the acquisition of Bank One in Q3 2004. The merger between Bank One and JPMorgan Chase means that company headquarters are now in New York City.

Washington Mutual

On September 25, 2008, JPMorgan Chase bought most of the banking operations of Washington Mutual from the receivership of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). That night, the Office of Thrift Supervision, in what was by far the largest bank failure in American history, seized Washington Mutual Bank and placed it into receivership. The FDIC sold the bank's assets, secured debt obligations and deposits to JPMorgan Chase & Co for $1.836 billion, which re-opened the bank the following day. As a result of the takeover, Washington Mutual shareholders lost all their equity. Through the acquisition, JPMorgan now owns the former accounts of Providian Financial, a credit card issuer WaMu acquired in 2005. The company completed rebranding of Washington Mutual branches to CHASE in late 2009.

Other recent acquisitions

In 2006, CHASE purchased Collegiate Funding Services, a portfolio company of private equity firm Lightyear Capital, for $663 million. CFS was used as the foundation for the Chase Student Loans, previously known as Chase Education Finance.

In April, 2006, CHASE swapped its corporate trust unit for The Bank of New York Co.'s retail and small business banking network. The swap valued The Bank of New York business at $3.1 billion and JPMorgan's trust unit at $2.8 billion and gave Chase access to 338 additional branches and 700,000 new customers in New York, New Jersey, and Indiana.

}} Cornelius Crane "Chevy" Chase (; born October 8, 1943) is an American comedian, writer, and television and film actor, born into a prominent entertainment industry family. Chase worked a plethora of odd jobs before moving into comedy acting with ''National Lampoon''. He quickly became a key cast member in the inaugural season of ''Saturday Night Live,'' where his ''Weekend Update'' skit soon became a staple of the show. Chase is also well-known for his portrayal of the character Clark Griswold in four ''National Lampoon's Vacation'' films, and for his roles in other successful comedies such as ''Caddyshack'' (1980), ''Fletch'' (1985), and ''¡Three Amigos!'' (1986). He has hosted the Academy Awards twice (1987 and 1988) and briefly had his own late-night talk show, ''The Chevy Chase Show''. Currently, he appears as Pierce Hawthorne on the NBC comedy series ''Community''.

Early life

Family

Chase was born in Lower Manhattan, New York City. His father, Edward Tinsley "Ned" Chase, was a prominent Manhattan book editor and magazine writer. His mother, Cathalene Parker (née Browning), a concert pianist and librettist, was the daughter of Miles Browning, who served a critical role at the Battle of Midway in World War II; she was adopted as a child by Cornelius Vanderbilt Crane, heir to Crane Plumbing, and took the name Cathalene Crane. As a child, Chase vacationed at Castle Hill, the Cranes' summer estate in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

Chase's maternal grandmother was an opera singer who performed several times at Carnegie Hall. Chase is a fourteenth-generation New Yorker, and was listed in the Social Register at an early age. His mother's ancestors arrived in Manhattan starting in 1624. Among his ancestors are New York City mayors Stephanus Van Cortlandt and John Johnstone; John Morin Scott, General of the New York Militia during the American Revolution; Anne Hutchinson, dissident Puritan preacher and healer; and ''Mayflower'' passengers and signers of the Mayflower Compact, John Howland and the Pilgrim colonist leader and spiritual elder of the Plymouth Colony, William Brewster. Chase's paternal grandfather was artist/illustrator Edward Leigh Chase, and his great-uncle was painter/teacher Frank Swift Chase.

Chase was named for his adoptive grandfather Cornelius. The nickname Chevy was bestowed by his grandmother, derived from the medieval English ''The Ballad of Chevy Chase''. As a descendant of the Scottish Clan Douglas, the name "Chevy" seemed appropriate to her. Chase has made recent claims that he was abused as a child by his mother and stepfather, John Cederquist.

Schooling and music

He attended at the Stockbridge School in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and attended Riverdale Country School in The Bronx. He then attended Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, where he studied a pre-med curriculum and graduated in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.

Chase did not enter medical school, which meant he would be subject to the military draft. Chase was not drafted; when Chase appeared in January 1989 as the first guest of the just-launched late-night ''Pat Sajak Show'', he said he had convinced his draft board he deserved a 4-F classification by "falsely claiming, among other things, that he had homosexual tendencies."

Chase played drums with the college band The Leather Canary, headed by school friends Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. Chase has called the group "a bad jazz band"; Becker and Fagen later founded the successful group Steely Dan. Chase is gifted with absolute pitch. He played drums and keyboards for a rock band called Chamaeleon Church, which recorded one album for MGM Records before disbanding in 1969. Before becoming famous as a writer, actor and comedian, Chase worked in many odd jobs including as a cab driver, truck driver, motorcycle messenger, construction worker, waiter, busboy, fruit picker, produce manager of a supermarket, audio engineer, salesman in a wine store, and a theater usher.

Early career

Chase was a member of an early underground comedy ensemble called ''Channel One'' which he co-founded in 1967. He also wrote a one-page spoof on ''Mission: Impossible'' for ''Mad Magazine'' in 1970 and was a writer for the short-lived ''Smothers Brothers'' TV show comeback in the early 1970s. Chase made the move to comedy as a full-time career by 1973, when he became a cast member of ''The National Lampoon Radio Hour'', a syndicated satirical radio series. The ''Lampoon Radio Hour'' also featured John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, and Brian Doyle-Murray, all of whom later became "Not-Ready-For-Prime Time Players" on ''NBC Saturday Night'' (later retitled ''NBC's Saturday Night'' and finally ''Saturday Night Live''). Chase and Belushi also appeared in National Lampoon's off-Broadway revue ''Lemmings'', a sketch and musical send-up of popular youth culture (in which Chase also played the drums during the musical numbers). He appeared in the theatrical release ''The Groove Tube'' which was directed by another co-founder of ''Channel One'', Ken Shapiro, and which featured several ''Channel One'' sketches.

''Saturday Night Live''

Chase was one of the original cast members of ''Saturday Night Live'' (''SNL''), NBC's late-night comedy television show, beginning in October, 1975. During the full first season, he introduced every show except one by saying, "Live from New York, it's ''Saturday Night!''" The remark was often preceded by a pratfall, known as "The Fall of the Week." Chase has since become known as a genius of physical comedy. In one comedy sketch, he mimicked a real-life incident in which President Gerald Ford accidentally tripped while disembarking from Air Force One in Salzburg, Austria. This portrayal of President Ford as a bumbling klutz became a favorite device of Chase and helped form the popular concept of Ford as being a clumsy man. In later years, Chase met and became friendly with President Ford. Chase's physical stunts led to at least one self-injury. During a skit in the second season of ''SNL'', the comedian was injured when he fell on an unpadded podium and bruised a testicle. This injury forced him to broadcast two of the show's segments live from his hospital bed.

Chase was the original anchor for the ''Weekend Update'' segment of ''SNL'', and his catchphrase introduction—"I'm Chevy Chase... and you're not"—became well known. His trademark conclusion—"Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow"—was later resurrected by Tina Fey. Chase also wrote comedy material for ''Weekend Update.'' For example, he wrote and performed "The News For The Hard Of Hearing." In this skit, Chase would read the top story of the day, aided by Garrett Morris, who would repeat the story by loudly shouting it. Chase claimed that his version of Weekend Update would later be the inspiration for other mock-news shows such as ''The Daily Show'' and ''The Colbert Report.'' (''Weekend Update'' was later revived as a segment on ''The Chevy Chase Show,'' a short-lived late-night talk-show produced by Chase and broadcast by Fox Broadcasting Company.)

Chase also performed in other skits on ''SNL'', including a recurring gag as a Landshark. His racially-charged "word association" skit opposite Richard Pryor from ''SNL's'' first season is frequently cited by television critics as one of the funniest (and most daring) skits in the show's history.

Chase became the first breakout star of ''SNL''. He was committed contractually to ''Saturday Night Live'' for only one year as a writer, not an ''SNL'' cast member. He had signed a one year writing contract and became a cast member during rehearsals just before the show's premiere. Nonetheless, he received two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award for his comedy writing and live comic acting.

In a 1975 ''New York'' magazine cover story which called him "The funniest man in America", NBC executives referred to Chase as "The first real potential successor to Johnny Carson" and claimed he would begin guest-hosting ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'' within six months of the article. Chase actually never did guest host the ''Tonight Show'' during his early peak years of success, and in fact did not even appear on the program until 1978, when he was promoting a prime time special for NBC. Carson later said of Chase after guest-hosting the ''Tonight Show''; "He couldn't ad lib a fart after a baked bean dinner".

Chase acknowledged Ernie Kovacs' influence on his work in ''Saturday Night Live'', and he thanked Kovacs during his acceptance speech for his Emmy award for ''SNL''. In addition, Chase spoke of Kovacs' influence on his work in an appearance in the 1982 documentary called ''Ernie Kovacs: Television's Original Genius''.

Leaving ''SNL''

Chase was the first member of the original ''SNL'' cast to leave the show in 1976. After leaving ''SNL'', Chase moved to Los Angeles and married his girlfriend, Jacqueline Carlin. Chase made a few cameo appearances as the second season wound down; he was eventually replaced by Bill Murray.

Chase hosted ''SNL'' eight times after he left, most recently in 1997. He appeared on the show's twenty-fifth anniversary special in 1999 and was interviewed for a 2005 NBC special on ''SNL'''s first five years. He also made four cameo appearances later: once in a ''Caddyshack'' skit (featuring Bill Murray), the October 25, 1997 episode with guest host Chris Farley, as the Landshark in Weekend Update during the October 6, 2001 episode, and again on Weekend Update, delivering a political news/commentary, on the October 6, 2007 episode.

Film

Chase's early film roles included ''Tunnel Vision'', ''Foul Play'', and ''Oh Heavenly Dog''. The role of Eric 'Otter' Stratton in ''National Lampoon's Animal House'' was originally written with Chase in mind, but he turned the role down to work on ''Foul Play''. The role went to Tim Matheson instead. Chase said in an interview that he chose to do ''Foul Play'' so he could do "real acting" for the first time in his career instead of just doing "schtick". Chase followed ''Foul Play'' with the successful Harold Ramis comedy ''Caddyshack'', in 1980. That same year, he also starred with Goldie Hawn in Neil Simon's ''Seems Like Old Times'' and released a self-titled record album, co-produced by Chase and Tom Scott, with novelty and cover versions of songs by Randy Newman, Barry White, Bob Marley, the Beatles, Donna Summer, Tennessee Ernie Ford, The Troggs, and the Sugarhill Gang.

Chase narrowly escaped death by electrocution during the filming of ''Modern Problems'' in 1980. During a sequence in which Chase's character wears 'landing lights' as he dreams that he is an airplane, the current in the lights short-circuited and arced through Chase's arm, back, and neck muscles. The near-death episode caused Chase to experience a period of deep depression, as his marriage to Jacqueline had ended just prior to the start of filming. Chase continued his film career in 1983's ''National Lampoon's Vacation'', directed by Ramis and written by John Hughes. He married Jayni Luke in 1983, and in 1985, he starred in ''Fletch'', the first of two films based on Gregory Mcdonald's ''Fletch'' books. Chase joined ''SNL'' veterans Steve Martin and Martin Short in the Lorne Michaels-produced comedy ''¡Three Amigos!'' in 1986, declaring in an interview that making ''¡Three Amigos!'' was the most fun he had had on a film. The trio hosted ''SNL'' that year, the only time the show has had three hosts on one show.

At the height of his career in the late 1980s, Chase earned around $7 million per film and was a highly visible celebrity. He appeared alongside Paul Simon, one of his best friends, in Simon's 1986 second video for "You Can Call Me Al", in which he lip-syncs all of Simon's lyrics. Chase hosted the Academy Awards in 1987 and 1988, signing on to the proceedings in 1987 with the opener, "Good evening, Hollywood phonies!" Chase filmed a sequel to ''Vacation'', 1985's ''National Lampoon's European Vacation'' and then a third, ''National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'', in 1989, which, thanks to its holiday theme, has become one of his more durable films, airing on NBC every December. He played saxophone onstage at Simon's free concert at the Great Lawn in Central Park in the summer of 1991. Later in 1991, he helped record and appeared in the music video "Voices That Care" to entertain and support U.S. troops involved in Operation Desert Storm, and supported the International Red Cross.

Later work

Chase's career took a downturn in the early 90s. Chase had three consecutive film flops from his later period: 1991's Razzie award-nominated ''Nothing But Trouble'', 1992's ''Memoirs of an Invisible Man'', and 1994's ''Cops and Robbersons''. The three releases had a combined gross of $34 million in the U.S. Even the durable ''Vacation'' series ground to a halt, following 1997's ''Vegas Vacation'' installment. Some of the more recent movies starring Chase (e.g., ''Vacuums'', ''Rent-a-Husband'', ''Goose!'') have not been released in the United States. He returned to mainstream movie-making in 2006, co-starring with Tim Allen and Courteney Cox in the comedy ''Zoom'', though it was both a critical and commercial failure.

In September 1993, Chase hosted ''The Chevy Chase Show'', a weeknight talk show, for the Fox Broadcasting Company. Though it had high commercial expectations, the show was cancelled by Fox after only six weeks. Chase later appeared in a commercial for Doritos, airing during the Super Bowl, in which he made humorous reference to the show's failure.

He was roasted by the Friars Club for a Comedy Central television special in 2002. This roast was noted for being unusually mean, even by the standards of other roasts, and has never re-aired.

Chase was Hasty Pudding's 1993 Man Of The Year, and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1994. After having starred with Farrah Fawcett in the relatively successful ''Man of the House'' in 1995, he received Harvard Lampoon's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996. In 2005, Chase was the keynote speaker at Princeton University's Class Day, part of commencement activities.

Return to television

Chase guest-starred as an anti-Semitic murder suspect in "In Vino Veritas", the November 3, 2006 episode of ''Law & Order''. He also guest-starred in the ABC drama series ''Brothers & Sisters'' in two episodes as a former love interest of Sally Field's character. Chase appeared in a prominent recurring role as villainous software magnate Ted Roark on the NBC spy-comedy ''Chuck''. In 2009, Chase and Dan Aykroyd provided voices for the ''Family Guy'' episode "Spies Reminiscent of Us".

Chase is currently starring in the NBC sitcom ''Community'', as aging moist-towelette tycoon Pierce Hawthorne. In 2010, he appeared in the film ''Hot Tub Time Machine'', as well as a short online film featuring the Griswold Family, and in the ''Funny or Die'' original comedy sketch "Presidential Reunion", where he played President Ford alongside other current and former SNL president impersonators.

TV commercials

Chase has appeared in a number of television commercials, including Dollar Rent-a-Car (1996), Doritos (1996), History Channel (1999), Aflac (2003), Cola Turka (2003), T-Mobile (2009) and Chase Manhattan Bank (2010).

Personal life

Chase is the father of three girls, Cydney Cathalene (born January 4, 1983), Caley Leigh (born January 19, 1985), and Emily Evelyn (born September 29, 1988). He lives with his wife, Jayni (née Luke), in Bedford, New York.

Chase is an active environmentalist and charity fundraiser. He raised money and campaigned for Bill Clinton in the 1990s and John Kerry in the 2004 Presidential Election. Following the 2004 elections, Chase criticized President George W. Bush during a speech at a People For the American Way benefit at the Kennedy Center, referring to the President as an "uneducated, real lying schmuck" and a "dumb fuck". Event organizers and several Bush detractors present at the event distanced themselves from Chase's comments, with Norman Lear remarking, "he'll live with it, I won't."
