About us

Our history in Germany dates back to 1924, when we opened a representative office. Post-World War II, we were the first foreign bank to re-open branches in Germany in 1947. We offer clients products and services from our corporate and investment bank, asset management, private banking as well as commercial solutions.

J.P. Morgan has operated in Europe for nearly 200 years and has a sophisticated local market presence across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Within the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, J.P. Morgan has an unparalleled client base and leadership across the spectrum of financial services products. The regional head office in London is complemented by a strong regional footprint, with offices in all major financial centers.

Globally, through the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, we make philanthropic investments in cities where we have major operations, assisting those at a disadvantage by helping them build better lives for themselves, their families and their communities. Across EMEA, the firm focuses its investment and attention on three pillars: Economic Development, Financial Empowerment and Workforce Readiness.


J.P. Morgan is a global leader in financial services, offering solutions to the world's most important corporations, governments and institutions in more than 100 countries. As announced in 2020, JPMorganChase will deploy $2 billion in philanthropic capital around the world by 2025. We also lead volunteer service activities for employees in local communities by utilizing our many resources, including those that stem from access to capital, economies of scale, global reach and expertise.

Handling your complaint

The Firm has internal policies in place to address how complaints are managed by the Firm. Once we have received your complaint, we aim to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and in a consistent manner. Your complaint will be promptly acknowledged and investigated by the complaints management function which is independent from the functions and circumstances giving rise to the complaint. Throughout the investigatory process we will keep you up to date with our progress and aim to provide you with a substantive response. After investigation, we aim to provide you with a final response communication as soon as possible. In case of a payment services related complaint, the firm will comply with the relevant provisions imposed by the Payment Services Directive II, which were implemented in § 62 ZAG (15/35 working days for response) in Germany. Furthermore, in case of MiFID complaints (i.e. complaints related to the provision of investment services or ancillary services) the independent Compliance function will review the complaints data and their resolution to ensure that all risks and problems are identified and addressed. The Firm maintains records of the complaints it receives and the measures taken for their resolution.

If required, JP Morgan will submit information with regards to your complaint to the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin) as the responsible German regulator.
