A year ago, JPMorgan launched its retail arm —Chase — in the UK, marking its foray into the overseas consumer banking market.
In the next few years, the bank aims to expand into other European markets as well.

The German team could be used across multiple locations, but a plan is yet to be finalised, the source said.
