It was pure accident': how Chase UK's boss went from communist Poland to Wall Street banking via linguistics
Briefly

JP Morgan's Chase UK, led by Kuba Fast, was established in 2019 and has reached 2.5 million customers. Despite initial losses, the bank aims to break even by 2025, facilitating future growth into Europe. The rise of competitors like Monzo and Starling highlighted a gap in the market for a digital bank. With roots in a project called Project Dynamo, Chase UK focuses on current accounts, savings, and credit cards, leveraging technology to drive future success amidst shifting banking landscapes.
In 2021, JP Morgan became the second major US lender to enter the UK retail banking market, following Goldman Sachs, which started offering its service in 2020.
Fast confirms it is aiming to break even for the first time in 2025, helping lay the groundwork for expansion into mainland Europe.
