JPMorgan Chase will add at least 1,150 jobs in Ohio over the next three years.

The New York-based financial services firm will add several hundred jobs at its 8,000-employee McCoy Center campus in Columbus, and several hundred jobs will be added to a lending facility. Another 150 jobs will be added at the company’s operations in Westerville.

The firm is boosting its support functions after purchasing Washington Mutual. The state and city have offered the firm incentive packages valued at $20 million.
