JPMorgan Chase today announced that Mike Passilla has been named chief
executive officer of Merchant Services. This newly created role will oversee
Chase's growing payments and merchant services business including Chase
Paymentech, Chase's merchant offers business, as well as Chase's
recently-announced merchant payments initiative.
“Merchants represent an important client base for Chase, and we want to bring
together our full suite of leading services for merchants under one
organization,” said Gordon Smith, CEO of Chase Consumer & Community Banking.
“Chase has been at the forefront of innovation in the payments industry, and
I'm confident Mike's vision and experience will help us continue to be a
leader in this important area.”
Passilla has been a leader in the field of payments and technology for 23
years. He joins Chase from Elavon, a leading payments processing firm, where
he most recently served as president and CEO. Prior to Elavon, he held key
leadership roles at Inforte Corp., the CSC Index and IBM.
Additionally, Dan Charron was named president of Chase Paymentech, the global
payment processing and merchant acquiring business of JPMorgan Chase, and will
report to Passilla. Since March, Charron has been the acting head of Chase
Paymentech and prior to that served as the head of Client Services.
As a leading provider of merchant services, Chase Paymentech has uniquely
combined proven payment technology with a long legacy of merchant advocacy
that creates quantifiable value for companies large and small. In 2012, Chase
Paymentech processed 29.5 billion transactions with a value of $655.2 billion,
including an estimated half of all global Internet transactions.
Earlier this year, JPMorgan Chase announced the creation of Chase Merchant
Services, a new payments proposition that will allow Chase to bring
advantageous solutions for merchants and differentiated experiences to
cardholders. Ray Fischer, president of Chase Merchant Services, also will
report to Passilla.
