Which entity, which status

Chase is a brand: the account is held by J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, a British subsidiary of the JPMorgan Chase group, which states that it is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the FCA and the PRA under number 124579 (Chase UK support). Chase's FSCS information sheet names the same entity and the Chase brand only.

This British bank has no contractual link with Chase in the United States, which falls under a different entity of the group: an account with one does not give access to the other.

Who can open an account

The pages consulted publish no residency requirement, no minimum age and no rule in case of a move abroad. Opening is done through the app, but the documents required were not identified.

Account, card and currencies

Chase UK offers a sterling current account with a debit card and savings products. A help section is devoted to travel.

Fees abroad, withdrawal limits and any foreign-currency accounts: not identified.

Protection of funds

Eligible deposits with J.P. Morgan Europe Limited are covered by the FSCS, up to up to £120,0001 per person and per institution. The Chase FSCS sheet read during this update, dated 2022, still mentions the former limit; the FSCS scale prevails.

Points to verify

  • The residency conditions, to be obtained from Chase before any plan to open an account.
  • The guarantee limit, assessed per institution: other assets held with J.P. Morgan Europe Limited share the same limit.
  • What happens to the account after a departure from the United Kingdom.
