the.com/chase
The bank that's everywhere, so you forget it's choosing when to let your money through.
means To pursue something, or the bank name you recognize so well you stopped asking who's behind it.
from The verb traces through Old French 'chacier' (to hunt, pursue), back to Latin 'captare,' meaning to try to catch or seize — a cousin of 'capture' and 'chassis.' The bank's name is unrelated to the verb: it honors Salmon P. Chase, a 19th-century U.S. Treasury Secretary and Supreme Court Chief Justice, after whom Chase National Bank was named — long before it merged its way into the ubiquitous giant it is now.
