Technology and Disruptive Commerce

Side note:

Percussion music plays.

Alton:

You can’t scale a big mountain if you're institution is small. But a big institution that acts very small to clients can scale large mountains.

Melissa:

We often get asked the question why J.P. Morgan is focused on the innovation economy today. And my answer to that is that this is not a new business for J.P. Morgan.

Alton:

We have 15,000 clients in the commercial bank. We have 4 million start-ups in the business bank.

Melissa:

What we offer to startups is a simplified payments platform to meet all of their basic banking needs. We've tried to make it very simple for them to make payments, get paid, and to help them stay safe from a cybersecurity perspective.

James:

The bankers have not just the ability to advise you on treasury services, or cash management, or traditional banking subjects, but are able to then relate that to a specific subindustry.

Alton:

We target this startup community with very specific products, services, and honestly discussions. If you think about that scale and pace, you’ve gotta start small but you have to get big really quickly.

Holly:

It's incredibly flattering to have such a world-renowned institution behind a young brand and a mission. And J.P. Morgan is the right partner to help us build this brand and take me on this journey.

Melissa:

It's literally impossible to outgrow J.P. Morgan. From, again, you're very basic banking needs to as you grow over time, we can really scale and grow with the company through every stage of their life cycle.

James:

Our bankers live and breathe this. Every time I meet a founder, I'm energized by their vision. They see patterns and connections other people don't see.

Alton:

Although they see the product around the corner, I'm actually helping their company itself look around the corner. So I feel like we're partners.
