Information on All Locations of Bank One

NEW ORLEANS -- Bank One customers can "Say Hello to Chase" beginning next week when Bank One signs at its 176 Louisiana branches and other offices statewide are changed to Chase, the retail and commercial banking brand of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

More than 3,000 signs in Louisiana will change to Chase as part of the rebranding effort, said Michael Lulich, retail banking market manager for Chase in greater New Orleans. The change is occurring as a result of last year's merger of the parent companies, Bank One and JPMorgan Chase.

"We're saying hello to a well-recognized name in financial services that builds on our 175-year tradition in Louisiana of helping customers reach their financial goals," Lulich said.

Don Barnes, manager of retail banking for Chase in central and north Louisiana, said: "We're proud of our legacy that includes Bank One and First Commerce and Premier Bank, and we're even more proud of our move to a brand steeped in tradition in our country's banking history. Through expanded products and services, our combined company will make banking even more convenient and efficient for our Louisiana customers."

Over the weekend, the company's 176 Louisiana branches will transform to Chase, with marketing materials, apparel and all forms changing to Chase.

That sets the table for "New Chase Day" in Louisiana on Monday, July 11, and bankers will unveil the new Chase signs at many locations beginning that day.

Customers should continue using their Bank One checks and ATM and debit cards. Customers will receive Chase checks when they re-order, and new Chase debit and ATM cards will automatically be sent later this summer.

The company offers customers improved services, including:

--Expanded mortgage products from Chase Home Finance, one of the nation's leading mortgage companies

--Payments on Chase loans at all Louisiana branches (including credit cards, mortgages and car loans)

--Free access to more than 6,800 ATMs nationwide

--Eventual access to more than 2,500 branches across the country

--A broader array of products for businesses of all sizes

--Larger and quicker loans through syndication for commercial customers

--Greater international presence for commercial banking customers

--More sophisticated investment-planning products at all levels, including JPMorgan mutual funds

--Affiliation for high net worth customers with JPMorgan Private Client Services and JPMorgan Private Bank
