  • Testimony of Jamie Dimon Chairman and CEO, Jpmorgan Chase & Co
    Testimony of Jamie Dimon Chairman and CEO, JPMorgan Chase & Co. Before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission January 13, 2010 Chairman Angelides, Vice-Chairman Thomas, and Members of the Commission, my name is Jamie Dimon, and I am Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co. I appreciate the invitation to appear before you today. The charge of this Commission, to examine the causes of the financial crisis and the collapse of major financial institutions, is of paramount importance, and it will not be easy. The causes of the crisis and its implications are numerous and complex. If we are to learn from this crisis moving forward, we must be brutally honest about the causes and develop an understanding of them that is realistic, and is not – as we are too often tempted – overly simplistic. The FCIC’s contribution to this debate is critical as policymakers seek to modernize our financial regulatory structure, and I hope my participation will further the Commission’s mission. The Commission has asked me to address a number of topics related to how our business performed during the crisis, as well as changes implemented as a result of the crisis. Some of these matters are addressed at greater length in our last two annual reports, which I am attaching to this testimony. While the last year and a half was one of the most challenging periods in our company’s history, it was also one of our most remarkable. Throughout the financial crisis, JPMorgan Chase never posted a quarterly loss, served as a safe haven for depositors, worked closely with the federal government, and remained an active lender to consumers, small and large businesses, government entities and not-for-profit organizations.

    Comptroller of the Currency Administrator of National Banks Washington, DC 20219 Conditional Approval #312 May 1999 DECISION OF THE OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY ON THE APPLICATION TO CHARTER NEXTBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA MAY 8, 1999 I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL On December 10, 1998, NextCard, Inc., San Francisco, California (“NCI”), filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to charter a new national credit card bank as specified in the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987, as amended (CEBA). The proposed bank will be headquartered in San Francisco, California, and will be titled NextBank, National Association (“Bank”).1 The Bank has applied to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for deposit insurance and will apply to become a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank has also filed an operating subsidiary application with the OCC to own and operate NextCard Funding Corp. (“NFC”), a Delaware corporation that is currently wholly-owned by NCI. The applications have been supplemented from time to time with additional or amended information. No comments were received from the public regarding these applications. NCI, formerly called Internet Access Financial Corporation, launched the NextCard VISA card in December 1997. The product, which NCI calls the First True Internet VISA, is marketed to consumers exclusively through its Web site, www.nextcard.com. The NextCard can be used for both online and offline purchases and offers several product and service enhancements specifically designed for the Internet-enabled consumer. These include a customized application process, Internet-based account management, and online shopping enhancements.

  • Jpmorgan Chase: out of Control
    March 12, 2013 Joshua Rosner 646/652-6207 [email protected] JPMorgan Chase: Out of Control In this report we will focus on the risk management and internal control environment at JPMorgan Chase, a bank whose balance sheet is almost one-ninth the size of the United States economy. JPMorgan's financial filings, its "Task Force" investigation of losses in the CIO's office and its recent history of significant regulatory failures demonstrate that shareholders are continuing to be called upon to pay for the firm's inability to ensure an acceptable control environment. There are real risks of further regulatory or legislative changes to required leverage and capital ratios, and that the FDIC’s “single point of entry” approach to the orderly liquidation authority may result in new long-term debt issuance requirements at the holding company. Furthermore, other business risks appear under-appreciated, such as those associated with interest-rate risk management and also the collateral management of derivatives. While these fundamental issues deserve attention, they are not areas of focus in this report but will be addressed in a forthcoming report that considers the fundamental financial realities of “fortress JPM”. The failures we highlight are not exhaustive but should nonetheless serve to demonstrate the ongoing strains in managing a firm the size of JPMorgan and the benefits that would accrue to shareholders from better oversight and a business plan more focused on core operations. We have intentionally chosen not to detail all of the many private or public actions settled or outstanding (which have driven almost $16 billion in litigation expenses since 2009) or, other than the multistate settlement and foreclosure review settlement, the agreed to or unresolved costs of actions related to mortgage putback demands, including those of institutional investors, insurers, the GSEs, FHA, or the costs of foreclosure-related actions.
