JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Free Report) has agreed to acquire the Global Loyalty division of cxLoyalty Group Holdings, which includes cxLoyalty’s leading technology platforms, full-service travel agency, gift card, merchandise, and points bank businesses.

People across the globe want to vacation and travel again, and hopefully that will become a reality for many in the near future. Acquiring the travel and rewards businesses of cxLoyalty will provide enhanced experiences to our millions of Chase customers once they are ready, comfortable and confident to travel.”
Siegel stated, “JPMorgan Chase is the right partner to further invest in our leading loyalty business. This partnership allows us to strengthen and expand our technology solutions, rewards content and world class personalized customer experience for our Fortune 500 clients and their millions of customers, globally.”
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, a unit of Goldman Sachs (GS - Free Report) , will act as the financial advisor to cxLoyalty.
Notably, JPMorgan’s continued efforts to expand footprint remain impressive. The company remains focused on acquiring the industry's best deposit franchise and strengthening its loan portfolio.
