JPMorgan Chase is to spend $15.7bn on new initiatives, including investments in technology, marketing and hiring, according to co-head of the bank’s consumer and community division, Marianne Lake. Her unit is set to spend $7.9bn on new investments, which represents an $800m increase from 2022. The announcement comes on the back of a year in which smaller lenders have faced pressure and represents the latest example of the widening gap between small and large US banks. The wider spending will be $2bn more than the bank spent last year.
