For this assignment, write a 5–10 page report on your selected bank’s international expansion.
International Activities Data
Using the FDIC Institution Directory do a search on JP Morgan Chase bank holding company (BHC) using its ID. This search will provide a list of bank and thrift institutions.
Click on the active certificate links, and use the additional information to pull up a current list of offices for that bank. At the bottom of the list you will find information on location, codes identifying the types of office, and the date the foreign offices were established. You will want to focus your attention on the number of foreign offices, their types, and locations. Collect this information for each bank belonging to your chosen holding company.
Using a search engine of your choice, conduct a news search focusing on your chosen BHC and collect any useful data.
