In 1857, Samuel, his father John, and his brother Frederick, founded their first bank, "Thompson's Bank Note and Commercial Reporter". In 1863, the trio opened their third bank, called the "1st National Bank of the City of New York". The bank survives to this day as Citibank.
In 1873 John and Samuel Thompson left the 1st National Bank to form the Chase National Bank, named after their friend and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase. The bank survives to this day as JP Morgan Chase.
