More quotes by Jamie Dimon
JPMorgan was already, for the most part. Our businesses at JPMorgan share the same cash-management systems. The commercial bank, the private bank, the retail bank, they all use the branches. The cash-management system moves the money around the world - for global corporations, and for you, the consumer, too.

On Wall Street, there is no Wall Street there are individuals.

I think the free-enterprise system has been great for society. That doesn't mean it's completely perfect. And also, when people say capitalism, I'm not really sure what they mean.
Jamie Dimon
If you were a corporation needing financial services, and I can give you something better, faster, and cheaper across 12 products as opposed to eight, that's business. I'm doing it because I'm serving you I'm not doing it because I want to be universal.

I completely agree with the concept that American citizens shouldn't expect that a failure of a bank would cost them money, or that it would hurt the economy.

Wall Street gives money to both [Democrats and Republicans] because they want to be on the good side of whoever becomes president .

If business doesn't thrive, it hurts America. We need improved relations, more collaboration, more thought and more consistency as we go about trying to make sure we have the best country in the world. Not scapegoating and finger-pointing.

Any good job is a good job. This whole concept of a dead-end job? It's not true. I've heard it my whole life. Jobs lead to dignity. If you're good at the first, then you can get the second. Jobs lead to household formation. Jobs are a better solution for society.
Jamie Dimon
The question is how do you do it [more consumer protection] so that it actually works that way? And that takes analysis, and sometimes collaboration between government and business, to understand how that works.
Jamie Dimon
Part of [Japanese companies] growing and expanding around the world is ... going to help the Japanese keep their lifestyles [despite Japan's] demographics, as a declining population, and [to] make it more conducive to women to go to work, I think, is a plus.
Jamie Dimon
I don't like the term universal bank. The Chinese government legitimately wants to have a very strong economy. When they talk about SOE reform, they know that's part of it.
Jamie Dimon
Most CEOs are patriotic and most CEOs can see the problems in front of them, and they want to do something about it. We don't always agree about the ways and means, but the objective? We're totally together.

That's probably good, all things being equal, for emerging markets, not bad, even though it may not be great for all their currencies.

My father and grandfather were stockbrokers, and they would actually take stock certificates from a vault, give it to a runner, and send it to another vault. Then somebody said, Let's digitize it and have one vault. Now the DTCC clears and settles almost everything, and the cost of doing a trade is a tenth of what it was before.

We see very broad-based, moderate, growth. Most of the sectors are quite strong. I don't see any major potholes, and I believe [the economy] is strengthening.
Jamie Dimon
It might be harder for us to charge a higher interest rate, like they do, so it might not be as profitable for us. But we can either compete or partner, like we've announced with On Deck, which does some of the stuff we just spoke about.
Jamie Dimon
We invested in the downturn and we never stopped serving our clients.
Jamie Dimon
We're diversified, we're stable and consistent. Our businesses benefit from each other.
Jamie Dimon
We take smaller companies and middle-sized companies, all around the world, and we do currency exchange for them we raise bonds and equities for them and we do inventory finance, trade finance, and custody of assets.

India is a huge democracy. Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi has ambitions to try to fix the infrastructure, the rules, taxes, education, and to lift up the Indian people. And we're hopeful that that's going to create positive momentum.
