SAN DIEGO -- Chase announced Wednesday it is opening full-service bank branches in 22 Albertsons stores in Southern and Central California this year, including San Diego County, generating about 200 jobs overall.

The first branches are now open in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego and Kern counties, as Chase expands to more than 800 branches in the state by year-end.

"These new locations reaffirm our commitment to make Chase even more convenient for our customers, especially when they can get their shopping and banking done in one stop," said Pablo Sanchez, Chase's region executive.

The branches will offer customers a full range of services, from checking and savings accounts to mortgages, business loans and investments, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

Each participating Albertsons branch also will include a Chase ATM to provide additional hours of service.
