Sky News has learnt that the New York-listed behemoth will launch a range of savings and loan products using the Chase brand in the UK in the next few months. The move will represent one of the most significant new entries into the consumer banking sector since the 2008 financial crisis, and could spark a new price war among lenders already struggling to deal with a protracted period of ultra-low interest rates.

Sky News revealed last June that JPMorgan was buying a stake in 10x. TechCrunch, the technology news website, reported last summer that JPMorgan was also working on a secret digital banking project in London. In recent weeks, the bank has been actively recruiting staff to work on the project. An unnamed existing JPMorgan executive is understood to be spearheading the plans.
