JPMorgan Chase, the largest US lender, plans to enter Kenya and Cote d'Ivoire this year and grow its footprint in Africa, CEO Jamie Dimon told Reuters.
International markets are a growth area for JPMorgan, which has more than $4.2 trillion in assets and operates in over 100 countries. That compares with Citigroup, which does business in almost 180 countries and has the largest global footprint among US banking giants.
