About us

Our presence in Finland dates back to 1982, when we opened a subsidiary in Helsinki. Over the past decades we have witnessed and contributed to some of the most significant economic developments in the region, developed and implemented highly innovative solutions, and executed landmark transactions which set trends and shaped the market. Today, we are a leading provider of financial services across the Nordics, serving clients with best-in-class services across Investment Banking, Commercial and Corporate Banking, Payments, Securities Services, Markets, Asset Management and Private Banking.

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 JPMorganChase 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.
