But rapid growth has come at a cost. JPMorgan expects the enterprise to lose 50 450 million this year, according to slides attached to the presentation, the international consumer business is projected to break even in 5-6 years.
JPMorgan is using the UK as a testing ground for rolling out digital consumer banking services abroad, as it seeks to take advantage of low-cost online channels to diversify its revenue sources and compete with local competitors.
The bank recently launched a savings account in the UK, initially after offering a current account and cashback on purchases. In the long run, it plans to offer investment by consolidating its acquired digital asset manager, Nutmeg.
