Doubling the local team and footprint by hiring more Community Managers and expanding Community Centers
Advancing K–12 personal finance education policies so more students graduate with practical money skills
Hosting 100 financial health workshops in a single day to celebrate reaching a milestone of 1 million people served—and setting a goal of 5 million
NEW YORK, June 25, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JPMorganChase today announced a significant expansion of its community banking efforts to help more people build the knowledge and confidence to manage their money.
To scale proven local solutions faster and further, JPMorganChase will hire more than 150 additional Community Managers and double the number of Community Centers to expand financial health education programming with the goal of reaching 5 million people.
Together, these efforts are expected to create approximately 300 new jobs and are part of the firm's American Dream Initiative, a multi-year effort to help expand opportunity to millions of Americans and future generations through targeted investments across the United States.
"The American Dream remains a powerful aspiration, but it has become increasingly difficult for many families to achieve upward mobility. We know what works—every day we see how access to knowledge, tools and trusted support can change the trajectory for individuals and families," said Jennifer Roberts, CEO of Chase Consumer Banking. "That's why we're scaling local support and practical tools to reach more communities and help more people build a secure financial future."
To help more Americans save money, build credit and plan ahead, JPMorganChase is focused on four priority areas:
Expand financial health education in more communities
Equip customers with digital tools that turn learning into action
Strengthen fraud and scam prevention through education and protections
Advance policy solutions that support young people's financial futures and retirement security
Bringing more financial education to more communities
Central to JPMorganChase's community banking approach is its network of Community Managers— locally hired, community-informed leaders serving people across the firm's footprint in all lower 48 states. They work side by side with residents and partners to understand local priorities, then collaborate with local organizations and cross-sector leaders to deliver practical solutions. Community Managers connect people to information, tools and resources and tailor financial health programming to local needs.
