Commercial & Investment Bank - Payments Data Scientist Associate

About ChaseNet

ChaseNet is JPMorganChase's proprietary closed-loop payments network that connects Chase-issued cardholders directly with merchants acquired by Chase Merchant Services. By routing eligible transactions through a single Chase-owned rail rather than the traditional open-loop network, ChaseNet simplifies the economics of card acceptance, enables customized pricing constructs, and delivers richer transaction data to both merchants and the firm. ChaseNet supports some of the largest merchants in the United States and plays a central role in Chase's merchant services growth strategy.
