Chase allowing advertisers to target customers based on purchases

Chase announced Wednesday it has launched a new media business that allows advertisers to target the bank's 80 million U.S. customers based on their purchases.

The platform, Chase Media Solutions, allows brands to "connect with consumers’ personal passions and interests," while "customers benefit from personalized offers and the ability to earn cash back with brands they love or are discovering for the first time," the bank said in a press release.

According to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news, Chase will only charge merchants for the service whenever a customer makes a purchase through a deal on the platform.

"Like retailers, we have first-party data and a dedicated audience," Muhlstock added. "But what sets us apart is the unrivaled scale and insights from our customers – having long served as a trusted guide for their financial decisions."

Chase, owned by JPMorgan Chase, said Chase Media Solutions is the first bank-led platform of its kind. The company said the advantages to the platform include the ability for businesses to target customers based on their purchase history, a better return on investment for advertising and a verified audience.
