As part of the partnership, JPMorganChase and the Valkyries will collaborate on several Bay Area community initiatives that will have a direct positive impact on financial health, equity in the workplace, career growth, and women-owned small businesses.

Originating from Norse mythology, Valkyries are a host of warrior women who are fearless and unwavering – flying through air and sea alike. This brand is Golden State’s modern interpretation of Valkyries: strong, bold, and fierce.
