Chase, the US consumer and commercial banking business of JP Morgan Chase & Co, is planning to add between 500 and 1,000 mortgage-servicing jobs to its Central Ohio workforce when it moves into new office space in Gahanna later this year.
The bank said that the additional workers will help homeowners across the country and they will augment the the staff at its facility in Easton that Chase uses for mortgage servicing.
In mid-2009, Chase outlined an initiative to add 1,150 jobs in Central Ohio in Columbus and Westerville.
JPMorgan Chase chief administrative officer and CEO of Chase Home Lending Frank Bisignano said that this is part of bank’s extensive efforts to help customers who are facing financial difficulties.
Chase is the region’s major private employer with 17,000 Columbus area workers serving the company’s customers across the country.
