Chase opened its new Pacific Palisades branch Tuesday, nearly a year after the 2025 Southern California wildfires destroyed the previous location.
The 5,500-plus-square-foot space offers a larger, modern environment designed for convenience, accessibility and community engagement.
"Reopening this branch is an important milestone for our team and our community," said Maria Garcia, California head for the Consumer Bank at Chase. "We're honored to welcome our neighbors back in person, and we're committed to serving our customers, supporting local businesses, and working together to build a resilient future for Pacific Palisades."
Following the fire, the team moved to a temporary location to maintain in-person services while the new branch was rebuilt.
In January 2025, as wildfires spread through Los Angeles, JPMorganChase provided more than $2 million in emergency philanthropic support to the American Red Cross, the California Community Foundation and the United Way of Greater Los Angeles to aid immediate relief and recovery. The firm also offered fee relief to help customers manage unexpected expenses during evacuations and service disruptions.
Beyond immediate relief, JPMorganChase committed nearly $7 million to support housing recovery, small businesses and long-term community rebuilding. This included $4 million invested in housing recovery, $1.25 million in philanthropic capital to help small businesses reopen and rehire, and more than 4,000 employee volunteer hours in 2025.
The new branch features weekday hours Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on-site valet parking, complimentary Wi-Fi and two ATMs. Two floors include dedicated areas where customers can meet privately with a banker.
"We never stopped serving our customers," said Ana Rosales, branch manager. "From temporary operations to today's opening, our team has been here for our neighbors and focused on what this community needs most."
