JPMorgan Chase & Co. has filed applications with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to open its first stand-alone branch in Nashville, Tenn., and its first locations in North Carolina's Triangle region, The Business Journal reported.

According to documents filed with the OCC, the Nashville branch is slated to be in the southeast corner of the intersection of Gallatin Pike and Greenwood Ave., in East Nashville, Tenn., Nashville Business Journal reported. The company also proposed to have staffed branches in Midtown East in Raleigh, N.C., and in Chapel Hill, N.C.'s Carolina Square, according to the Triangle Business Journal.
