JPMorgan Names Rohit Chauhan Head of Consumer Payments Technology

JPMorgan has appointed former Temenos Chief Technology Officer Rohit Chauhan as managing director and head of Consumer Payments Platform Technology. He will lead technology for the bank's consumer payment systems, returning to JPMorgan after several years away.

Chauhan announced his new role on LinkedIn on October 6, 2026. Based in New York City, he brings experience in banking technology and financial software development.

Before rejoining JPMorgan, Chauhan was CTO at Swiss banking software company Temenos. He led engineering and software research and development for the company's core banking platform.

Earlier in his career, Chauhan spent about nine years at Morgan Stanley. He eventually led the clearing technology group, which supported exchange-traded derivatives.

He joined JPMorgan in December 2012 as an executive director and later became global head of Digital Channels Technology. In that role, he oversaw technology for digital financial services and customer-facing platforms.

In May 2025, Chauhan left JPMorgan to become Temenos' CTO. He reported to Barb Morgan, then the company's chief product and technology officer, and managed engineering teams and software development.

Chauhan's tenure at Temenos ended after the company reorganized its senior leadership in July 2026 under CEO Takis Spiliopoulos. Temenos named Tony Coleman CTO and Cormac Flanagan chief product officer as part of the changes.

JPMorgan hasn't shared the full scope of Chauhan's new responsibilities. His role covers technology infrastructure for consumer payments, an area that includes Chase point-of-sale technology, the Helix acquiring platform, and Tap to Pay on iPhone.

His experience spans technology operations at a major bank and software development at a financial technology company. He returns to JPMorgan as banks continue to invest in payment systems and digital services for consumers and businesses.
