JPMorgan Chase $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ closed on the purchase of a 48.5% stake in Viva Wallet, an Athens-based payments technology firm, for more than $800M, Reuters reported, citing a person with knowledge of the matter.
The move underscores the importance the Wall Street bank places on holding a prominent position in financial technology.
