More quotes by Jamie Dimon
Companies that build scale for the benefit of their customers and shareholders more often succeed over time.
Jamie Dimon
Their [American banks] big issue will be if they want to deal with the biggest companies, which are doing a lot of business overseas. How they do that is a big question. It's almost impossible to build a global investment bank from scratch. If they want to do that, they probably will have to do an acquisition.

The government has the right to change laws and rules and regulations.
Jamie Dimon
You've seen certain credit type products that are going to be in nonbanks, like sophisticated CLO [collateralized loan obligation] tranches and stuff where the capital charge is so high that a bank simply will not own it. Someone will buy it, hedge it, trade it. But it won't typically be a bank.

I think the politics have gotten better in the United States, which makes it easier to pass legislation, budgets and treaties.
Jamie Dimon
Well, if you were the American public, you saw a catastrophe. In general, you would say, The biggest institutions of America - Washington, broadly, and Wall Street, broadly - they're to blame. And, broadly, they're right.

Dodd-Frank is 2,000 pages long. It covers thousands of rules, regulations, interpretations and things like that.
Jamie Dimon
We continued to build the business, even in the worst of times. We do business all over America.
Jamie Dimon
We've accommodated the new rules and regulations. We've served our clients and had quite good returns.
Jamie Dimon
If I ran the whole place like it was my way or the highway, we would not be as good a company. I'm going to have mistakes - they'll be made on my watch and will embarrass me. But I'll also make sure the company learns from them so it can become a better company.
Jamie Dimon
Finance went from being a small business, effectively, to being a big business. In part, that's the growth of the world's wealth. That's called savings.
Jamie Dimon
It's offensive to me to be called a cost cutter.
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.
Jamie Dimon
If you went to all those little towns in America, JPMorgan was there in good times and bad times, and, in fact, helped a lot of people through the tough times. And we know that's when they need us the most.

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.

Japan, Europe, [and] America probably [are] better than last year [2015], not China.
Jamie Dimon
I advise other companies' CEOs, don't fall into the trap where you go, 'Where's the growth? Where's the growth?' Where's the growth?' They feel a tremendous pressure to grow. Well, sometimes you can't grow. Sometimes you don't want to grow. In certain businesses, growth means you either take on bad clients, excess risk, or too much leverage.
