JPMorgan Chase signed both an International Olympic Committee TOP sponsorship and a founding partner agreement with LA28, a dual structure that puts the bank inside Olympic hospitality tents from Milan 2026 through Brisbane 2032 and gives it venue naming rights and broadcast integration across Los Angeles. Neither organization disclosed dollar terms. The TOP program typically runs $200M to $300M per quadrennium; LA28 founding partnerships have ranged from $150M to $300M depending on category exclusivity and activation scope.
The deal fills the financial services slot vacated when Visa ended its 32-year TOP run after Paris 2024. JPMorgan Chase now holds global Olympic rights in banking, payment services, and financial advisory, while the LA28 component grants U.S. domestic sponsorship from signing through December 2028. The bank joins Coca-Cola, Omega, and eight other TOP partners who pay IOC dues in exchange for use of Olympic marks across all territories and all Games. The LA28 founding tier—one level above premier partners—guarantees JPMorgan Chase presence at Olympic venues, including potential naming rights on the media center or athlete village, and integration into NBCUniversal's broadcast coverage.
The structure mirrors what Salesforce, Delta, and Deloitte negotiated: stacked IOC and LA28 agreements that let brands activate globally while anchoring in the Los Angeles market. For JPMorgan Chase, the timing is operational. The bank has 280,000 employees, $3.9T in assets, and a wealth management division that uses sports hospitality to retain ultra-high-net-worth clients. Olympic VIP programs—opening ceremony tickets, athlete meet-and-greets, medal ceremony access—are table stakes for private banks competing with UBS and Goldman Sachs for family office mandates. The LA28 founding partnership also positions JPMorgan Chase for stadium and infrastructure financing deals tied to venue construction, where the bank's municipal finance desk can underwrite bonds for the LA Metro expansion or Olympic Village retrofit.
The deal also solves a coverage problem for LA28, which has sold nine of an estimated twelve to fifteen founding partnerships but had not yet locked a financial services brand with the scale to handle Olympic payment infrastructure and sponsor activations across 80+ venues. JPMorgan Chase's payment processing arm, Chase Merchant Services, can now integrate point-of-sale systems across Olympic Park, the Coliseum, and SoFi Stadium, generating transaction data that feeds back into the bank's retail and commercial lending models. The IOC, meanwhile, replaces Visa's payment category revenue and adds a U.S.-headquartered bank with a $450B market cap, a signal to future TOP prospects that American brands are re-engaging after several cycles of European and Asian sponsor dominance.
Watch for JPMorgan Chase's activation strategy at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games, where the bank will debut its TOP hospitality program. The bank's marketing leadership will need to staff an Olympic desk, likely pulling from its U.S. Open tennis and motorsports sponsorship teams. Also watch for announcements around the LA28 Olympic Village financing structure, where JPMorgan Chase's involvement as a founding partner positions it to lead or co-lead bond underwriting if the organizing committee pursues private capital. The next earnings call—January 14, 2025—will surface whether CEO Jamie Dimon discusses the Olympic investment as part of the bank's brand strategy or buries it in the marketing line item.
Visa's exit after three decades left a $200M+ annual revenue hole in the TOP program. JPMorgan Chase closes it, and the dual deal structure—global rights plus LA28 anchor tenant—becomes the template for the IOC's next category pitches in technology, automotive, and telecommunications.
The takeaway
JPMorgan Chase fills Visa's TOP slot and locks LA28 founding partner rights, giving the bank Olympic hospitality assets and stadium financing optionality through 2032.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.
