JPMorgan Chase

In 2009, major banks (Chase included) REMOVED forced arbitration from their agreements as part of a multi-bank legal settlement — a genuine, hard-won customer protection. In 2019, Chase PUT IT BACK in its CREDIT CARD agreements (effective Aug. 11, 2019, with notice sent to 47 million accountholders), ten years later, once the settlement's obligations had presumably run their course. A right customers gained through litigation was handed back to the bank once nobody was looking.

Arbitration

Dedicated 'Arbitration; Resolving Disputes' section (Section X, ~p.28 of Deposit Account Agreement); Chase notably reintroduced forced arbitration for credit card accounts in 2019 (effective Aug. 11, 2019) after having removed it as part of a 2009 multi-bank settlement (per Public Citizen) — worth mentioning as a 'previously removed, later reinstated' pattern relevant to customer trust messaging.

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (JPM). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, New York, New York — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.
