J.P. Morgan to Explore a Sale of its Corporate and Public Prepaid Card Business

J.P. Morgan announced today that it will explore a full range of options for its prepaid card business, including a sale. The prepaid card business includes all Corporate, U.S. Public Sector and Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) programs, as well as Health Savings Accounts (HSA).
