America’s biggest bank plans to enter the Chattanooga market by year’s end with the opening of a pair of branches and potentially more to come.

Chase, the U.S. consumer and commercial banking business of JPMorgan Chase & Co., has identified locations on Gunbarrel Road and downtown’s North Shore, said Jennifer DiSalvo, its market director of banking for Chattanooga.

“It is growing very dynamic in those two areas,” she said by phone. “In looking at real estate, we found those really good places. When we find them, we scoop them up.”

The Chase branch at 2120 Gunbarrel Road is a former bank location that will offer three ATMs, Chase spokesperson Greg Hassell said by phone.
