The timeline of events for the mortgage crisis and robo-signing began in 2008. Banks were overcome with foreclosures and missed payment at an abnormally high rate. On September 29th J.P. Morgan Chase joins other financial institutions in announcing that it would be freezing foreclosures in 23 states. JP Morgan stated that “it has come to our attention that in some cases employees in our mortgage foreclosure operations may have signed affidavits about loan documents on the basis of file reviews done by other personnel -- without the signer personally having reviewed those loan files." JP Morgan emphasized that it believes "accuracy of the factual loan information contained in the affidavits was not affected by whether or not the signer had

Q. 1. What were the major factors that led to the recent financial crisis? How did we get here?

JPMorgan Chase & Co. was rocked by a cyberattack during the summer of 2014, that reportedly compromised the accounts of over 76 million households and other small businesses, which made headlines placing it amongst the largest intrusions reported to date

In warning about the evils of greed, Jesus used a parable: “There was a rich man blessed with [fertile land.] He thought to himself, ‘What will I do? I have no place to keep all my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘I know what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger barns! I will put all my good things together in my new barns. Then I can say…Rest, eat, drink, and enjoy life!’“But God said to that man, ‘Foolish man! Tonight you will die!... Who will get [your things] now?’ This is how it will be for anyone who saves things only for himself. To God that person is not rich.” (Luke 12:13 21)

JPMorgan Chase had many incidents where it has violated the rules and regulation and ended up paying big chunk of money for the violations. But one of the biggest penalties the bank had to pay was $13 billion. The bank represents several alliances of most Chicago and New York money center banks. In 2008, JPMorgan Chase bought two failing institutions after the government asked it to help out when the institutions got into deep financial difficulties. First one was brokerage house Bear Stearns that was one of the firms that was heavily involved in the businesses of packaging and reselling subprime mortgage-backed securities. In March 2008, to prevent Bear Stearns from collapsing, JPMorgan stepped in to buy the company with help of $29 billion

The history of the Lehman Brothers’ is prestigious and long. America’s wealth owed its beginning from the Lehman Brothers. Many companies from the US such as the Campbell Soup Company, and American Airlines, among others, obtained a greater level of financing from the Lehman Brothers. The Lehman Brothers had become one of the biggest investment banks on Wall Street. In 2008, the Lehman Brothers filed the chapter 11 bankruptcy, after which its attempts to find a buyer seemed unsuccessful.

Banks have been at the forefront of the financial system for as long as they have existed and have captured the attention of stakeholders on both controversial grounds as well as being undisputed with regards to the many helpful services they provide. JP Morgan & Chase is one such bank, surrounded by hostile news articles and excessive scrutiny but rightfully so as it has of recent been the topic of much controversy as turning a blind eye to the moral codes established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and assisting Ponzi Scheme masterminds in swindling unsuspecting investors.

JPMorgan Chase offers retirement solutions to companies using tools including consultative partnerships with retirement advisors, educational retirement programs and insight on building strong defined-contribution plans for employees, explains the company.

J.P. Morgan was hunting for an opportunity to break into a prime brokerage business to broaden its influence on the market. J.P. Morgan made a well thought through decision to acquire Bear Stearns, knowing that a prime brokerage business is one of its specialties. According to CNNMoney, “200 JPMorgan staffers were working on the deal, assessing the strengths of Bear Stearns' different businesses and its exposure to toxic mortgage securities.” It is apparent that a lot of effort and rigorous research have been invested in the decision making process. On top of that, the Bear Stearns’ offering price came at a great discount as well “to provide cushion to protect J.P. Morgan in turbulent times and would provide the company ‘margin for error.’” As we can see, J.P. Morgan was well familiar with the possible consequences it may face after the acquisition and made the deal the way to protect itself in the future. In its turn, Bank of America purchased Countrywide Financial in 2008 to become “No. 1” in mortgage lending, according to then-chief Kenneth Lewis. By making this acquisition the bank achieved its goal and became “the nation's largest mortgage lender and loan servicer.” Similarly to J.P. Morgan we can see that the bank had its incentives and executives clearly understood the pitfalls of the deal.

I have decided to research JP Morgan Chase as my top firm to write about. My decision to write about Chase was because I have an account with this company. American banking was a small-scale affair before the 198o’s and nationally charted banks were limited as well (Larson, 2010). Economies of scale are known as savings that companies enjoy when they become larger and produce more output (Larson, 2010). A variety of technological factors constitute a third force contributing to economies of scale (Thomas & Maurice, 2010).

Asian companies. This study investigates factors that led to the failure of an ABC implementation at a major Chinese financial institution—the Bank of China.

Bank of America is a worldwide banking and financial institution that serves over 35 countries, most commonly located on the Anglo and Latin America clusters. Bank of America has close to 5000 banking location alone in the U.S. and locations in 7 countries of Latin America. “The bank's core services include consumer and small business banking, corporate banking, credit cards, mortgage lending, and asset management. Its online banking operation counts some 33 million active users and 20 million-plus mobile users” (Bank, 2017). The first Bank of America location within the U.S. was in 1904 in San Francisco, California and opened its first Latin America location in Mexico City in 1951. These two clusters have a very diverse culture and factors that affect the banking business in each location. In the U.S. the middle class makes up a majority of the population, while in Latin America most consumers fall below the poverty line, which is a huge factor in the banking business. According to Restuccia’s thoughts in the Latin America development problem (2013), “economic performance in Latin America has often been viewed as the outcome of macroeconomic adjustment, as many economies in the region have suffered numerous economic crises” (p 70). However, Bank of America strives to promote economic growth, helping their employees succeed and create jobs, as well as become mobile and accommodating at every location worldwide.

On May 10, 2011, Citigroup, a 200-year-old U.S. financial institution, discovered a breach in their credit card information systems (Lawrence & Weber, 2014). Upon the discovery, Citigroup acted immediately and started an internal investigation 24 hours later. The internal investigation took Citigroup 12 days to complete. On June 3rd, a notification letter was mailed to customers notifying them of the breach, and informing them that they would not be held liable for fraudulent charges. Public notification followed on June 9th, almost a month after the breach took place.
