JPMorgan Chase applies for branch at Mondawmin Mall

JPMorgan Chase & Co. plans to open a bank branch at Mondawmin Mall, a much-needed spark for an area of Baltimore that has suffered from retail closures and disinvestment. The New York-based financial giant filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in the U.S. Treasury Department for the branch location on Nov. 3. If approved, the branch will be JPMorgan Chase’s first in West Baltimore.
