    MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 18, 2005--Bank One has promoted veteran banker James R. Popp to president of its Wisconsin market and head of its commercial banking groups in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
    Popp has led Bank One's commercial banking group in Milwaukee since 2001, developing and managing customer relationships with mid-sized businesses. His responsibilities also included overseeing the bank's financial institutions and construction and transportation groups in the state and opening the bank's Minneapolis commercial banking office in 2004.
    "Jim is an outstanding relationship builder with keen instincts," said Todd Maclin, head of Commercial Banking for Bank One and Chase. "He knows the Wisconsin market from his years as a manager there and has earned the much-deserved respect of his peers and customers."
    Popp, 41, has spent 16 years as a commercial banker as well as two years managing a family-owned business.
    "Like our customers, I know firsthand the management challenges of running a business," he said. "It helps me to understand what customers experience on a daily basis and what they expect from their banker."
    Popp joined American National Bank in Chicago as a trainee after a brief career in the National Football League. He managed commercial banking groups in Elgin and Chicago for American National Bank before leaving to join the family business. Popp joined Bank One's commercial banking group in Milwaukee in 2001.
    Popp earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., and a master's degree in finance from DePaul University, Chicago. Active in the community, he volunteers with the Cub Scouts and as a youth football and baseball coach in Mequon, where he lives with his wife and family. He serves on the boards of the Milwaukee Local Initiative Support Corporation Advisory Committee and Main Street Milwaukee Partners.

    Bank One operates a network of 74 banking centers and 150 ATMs in Wisconsin. Bank One merged with JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) on July 1, 2004.
