As the world faced the health and economic consequences of COVID-19, JPMorgan Chase worked to bring the full force of our core business and expertise to support our communities, employees, clients and customers affected by this unprecedented global crisis. We were there to help in the most challenging times.
"Everyone was affected by the COVID-19 crisis — from our colleagues, families and communities to our customers, clients and partners. That is why our firm stepped up to help address immediate humanitarian needs and long-term economic challenges posed by this global pandemic. During crises such as these, it’s important for us all to come together — and for our firm to harness its resources to assist those who need help the most."

Supporting the “Real Economy” during the COVID-19 Crisis
To support the “real economy” — our customers, clients, employees and communities impacted by the global crisis — JPMorgan Chase has brought the full force of its core business and expertise.
- In 2020, we raised capital and provided credit totaling $2.3 trillion for customers and businesses of all sizes, helping them meet payroll, avoid layoffs and support operations.
- Through March 2021, we’ve provided more than $40 billion to more than 400,000 small businesses through the PPP program.
- Since March 13, 2020, we’ve delayed payments and refunded fees for customers on over 2 million accounts.
- We committed $250 million in global business and philanthropic initiatives, with particular focus on the most vulnerable people and communities hardest hit by the pandemic.
Our ability to do all this, and more, is the result of the actions and investments we’ve made over many years to build a strong and resilient company.
