FRANKFURT, May ‌20 (Reuters) - ​JPMorgan ​said that it was officially opening its ‌Chase digital retail bank ⁠in Germany on Wednesday, with ‌customers now able ‌to download an app and its website going live.

The ​U.S. banking giant has been preparing the ⁠launch for several years with a ​spate of hiring but had kept the exact timing ​of the launch ‌under wraps.

Germany will be Chase's second ⁠European market, after its launch in Britain in 2021.

The ⁠business marks a move into the ​crowded banking market of Europe's largest economy.

The bank will initially ‌offer a free savings account but will ‌branch out with further ⁠account and ‌product offerings ​next year.
