JPMorgan Chase Fined $14.3 Million by European Central Bank for Alleged Misreporting of Capital Requirements

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 02/19/26 12:37 PM EST

12:37 PM EST, 02/19/2026 (MT Newswires) -- JPMorgan Chase (JPM) has been sanctioned by the European Central Bank with two administrative fines totaling about 12.2 million euros ($14.3 million) for allegedly misreporting risk-weighted assets between 2019 and 2024, the central bank said Thursday.

According to the central bank, JPMorgan (JPM) violated reporting rules on credit risk and credit valuation adjustment risk by wrongfully applying lower risk-weight scores to corporate exposures and excluding certain transactions in the calculations.

JPMorgan (JPM) "committed both breaches with serious negligence, driven by evident deficiencies in its internal processes," the central bank said.

JPMorgan (JPM) has the opportunity to challenge the decision in the EU's Court of Justice, according to the statement.

JPMorgan (JPM) did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
