Middle East & North Africa

J.P. Morgan has been committed to serving clients in the Middle East and North Africa  (MENA) since the 1950s when The Chase Manhattan Bank, a forerunner of today's J.P. Morgan, opened an office in Beirut, Lebanon.

Historically, the bank has opened and maintained branches and subsidiary offices in Beirut (opened in 1956), Bahrain (opened in 1972), Cairo (opened in 1975) and Riyadh (opened in 2006). The firm opened an office in Dubai in April 2007 to further establish and invest in our long-standing commitment and presence in the region.

Across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the Levant region, and North Africa our leading investment banking business has key relationships with governments and top financial and corporate institutions. We offer the full spectrum of investment banking services to our clients, including M&A advisory, capital raising and risk management, as well as sales, trading and research.

The firm has a well established private banking  franchise providing world class wealth management expertise and solutions to ultra high net worth individuals and families.

Through our global asset management  business, we provide clients in the region, including sovereigns, financial institutions and intermediaries, with investment management advice and tailored solutions.

In addition, J.P. Morgan's Treasury & Securities Services business is one of the world's largest cash management providers and a leading global custodian.  Our business operates in the region through two divisions:

• Treasury Services provides cash management products, trade finance and logistics solutions, wholesale card products, and short-term liquidity management capabilities to small and mid-sized companies, multinational corporations, financial institutions and government entities. 
• Worldwide Securities Services stores, values, clears and services securities and alternative investments for investors and broker-dealers. The business also manages depositary receipts programs globally.
