JPMorgan Is Opening 'Affluent Banking' Centers. Here's Where.
The bank is planning to open 31 new financial centers by the end of 2026.
In May 2023, JPMorgan Chase acquired a "substantial majority of assets and assumed the deposits and certain other liabilities" of First Republic Bank after it collapsed and was seized by regulators. The deal also included First Republic's brick-and-mortar locations.
Two years later, JPMorgan is announcing what it's doing with the real estate: opening 14 new "J.P. Morgan Financial Centers" in four states that are "thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of affluent clients," according to a company statement.

"Through these Financial Centers, we are redefining how affluent clients are served, offering a highly personalized level of service that is backed by the global capabilities of JPMorganChase," said Jennifer Roberts, CEO of Chase Consumer Banking, in a statement.
Two locations are already open, 14 will open in 2025, and then JPMorgan says it is doubling the total to 31 by the end of 2026. The new branches are opening (mostly) in the former First Republic locations that JPMorgan acquired in May 2023, including Palm Beach, Florida; Napa, California; Madison Avenue, New York; and Cambridge, Massachusetts, according to the release.
"These new Financial Centers offer a highly personalized service model, providing greater flexibility to meet clients' needs with exceptional attention and care," Roberts said.

Clients with more than $750,000 in qualifying deposits and investment balances are welcome at the new, office-based model, which was inspired by First Republic, JPMorgan notes.
Customers who don't live near a new center can still access the services at their current location or remotely.
Chase also offers a lower-tier called "Private Client," which is for clients with $150,000 or more in qualifying deposits and investment balances. It is available in all 5,000 Chase branches nationwide, per the release.

Federal court blocks Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs under emergency powers law
The Brief A federal court blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law. The ruling from a three-judge panel came after several lawsuits arguing Trump has exceeded his authority. Trump has argued that he has the power to act to address the trade deficits he calls a national emergency. WASHINGTON - A federal court has blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law. The ruling on Wednesday from a three-judge panel at the New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits arguing Trump has exceeded his authority and left the country's trade policy dependent on his whims. What they're saying "The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs," the court wrote, referring to the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The case was heard by three judges: Timothy Reif, who was appointed by Trump, Jane Restani, named to the bench by President Ronald Reagan and Gary Katzman, an appointee of President Barack Obama. It was filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, a federal court that deals specifically with civil lawsuits involving international trade law. While tariffs must typically be approved by Congress, Trump has said he has the power to act to address the trade deficits he calls a national emergency. Trump has repeatedly said the tariffs would force manufacturers to bring back factory jobs to the U.S. and generate enough revenue to reduce federal budget deficits. He used the tariffs as a negotiating cudgel in hopes of forcing other nations to negotiate agreements that favored the U.S., suggesting he would simply set the rates himself if the terms were unsatisfactory. Dig deeper Trump's policies — including massive import taxes — have clouded the outlook for the economy and the job market, raising fears that the American economy is headed toward a recession. However, Trump's tariff pullbacks, pauses and negotiations with some trading partners may have calmed nerves for the time being. RELATED: Here's how Trump responded to reporter's 'nastiest' tariff question Trump had initially imposed a stunning 145% tariff on most goods from China, but agreed to a 90-day pause for negotiations. The president, who said the tariffs were designed to boost domestic manufacturing, used aggressive rhetoric to describe a global trade system that the United States helped to build after World War II, saying "our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered" by other nations. Trump said he was acting to bring in hundreds of billions in new revenue to the U.S. government and restore fairness to global trade. The Source The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Sacramento's Hollywood Park residents push for long-awaited park as city navigates budget deficit
SACRAMENTO — Something's been missing from Sacramento's Hollywood Park community for more than seven decades: the park. Now, many residents say it's about time the city finally builds a public park, even though Sacramento is facing a multi-million-dollar budget deficit. "I feel like we have everything that we need here except for our park," said Claire Sallee, president of the Hollywood Park Neighborhood Association. Sallee says the community is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, but unlike other established neighborhoods, no city park was ever built there. "Maybe something happened with the plans, but what I do know is that we don't have one," she said. Sacramento's current goal is to have a park within a 10-minute walk of every home. But Hollywood Park is right in the middle of a park desert. The closest playground is nearly a mile away, across busy Fruitridge Road. "It's hard for the kids. They don't get to bike anywhere," Sallee said. A vacant two-acre lot on 23rd Street has been identified as the best spot for a new park, but paying for it is a problem. "It's really challenging to figure out how do you build a new park, how do you fund it, how do you maintain it," said City Councilmember Caity Maple. Maple is now proposing to create a new community financing district, something that didn't exist back in the 1950s when Hollywood Park homes were built but is common in new neighborhoods like Natomas. "I often have community members who come to me and say, 'Why do they get really nice parks and we don't?' And the answer is because it was a master planned community and those districts' fees were built in," Maple said. The proposal would require a vote to place an annual tax on the approximately 600 Hollywood Park homes. "I think that this would be such a benefit to our neighborhood," Sallee said. There are more than 80 other parts of Sacramento that don't have a nearby park, and if this pilot project is successful, it could be used in other neighborhoods. "I would love to see this if it makes sense and it works for this community to see this throughout the rest of the city of Sacramento," Maple said. City leaders say the proposed new fee could be placed on the June 2026 ballot, and other fundraising efforts would be held to help offset the cost of purchasing the property.

Lodi faces budget deficit as city hears from city manager for first time since claims of misuse of funds
LODI - The City of Lodi is facing a $1.6 million deficit in its upcoming budget. Wednesday was day two of budget presentations by each department. CBS Sacramento has learned that during day one of those budget meetings, in closed session, the city council was notified of an April 12 letter sent by City Manager Scott Carney's attorney, claiming he was a whistleblower and that there could be retaliation. Carney is still the city manager but has been on administrative leave since early April after an employee evaluation, though the exact reason for that leave is not known. Carney made claims that city staff were changing staff reports and were misusing taxpayer dollars and city credit cards. We've reached out to Carney's attorney, but haven't heard back. "Hopefully, people realize this investigation is for us all. It's for me, the people of Lodi, the employees of Lodi," said Bregman. Mayor Bregman is closely watching the investigation into Carney's claims and says more will be revealed at future meetings. In the meantime, the city is attempting to balance its budget. "This is our one opportunity every single year to be able to look at our reality. Do we need more funding for our playgrounds? Do we need more funding for our fire or police?" said Lisa Craig-Hensley. Councilmember Craig-Hensley says the council is focused on public safety and keeping both police and fire's budgets intact. Because of the budget deficit, the city is not adding more police positions and instead is looking to fully staff the department to the 80 uniforms it's allotted. For the fire department, however, the proposed budget is giving them no room for new services. Still, if things continue the way they are now, the city could see a more than $4.2 million dollar deficit over a five-year span. "You get through the mid-year adjustment and make some corrections, but over the long term, the next five years, we will have to look at new revenues or budget savings," Craig-Hensley said. One thing the city says could be a good investment is the Grape Bowl. Already, they are seeing a good turnout for the Women's Rugby League, and soon, they say, they could see cricket coming to town.
