"We want to stay at the apex of payments innovation, and our new location in Athens will be a key nerve centre for our cutting edge payments innovation work," said Takis Georgakopoulos, Global Head of JPMorgan Payments.
The Payments Innovation Lab will provide research and development to the bank's global payments business, including working with Onyx, JP Morgan's business unit that leverages cutting-edge technologies like blockchain.
An advocate for a Russian prison rights group has said Brittney Griner's American nationality will be a 'disadvantage' in the already-brutal penal colony system, while her sexuality will also make her a 'threat' within the prison.
President Joe Biden said the US government has not 'been meeting with positive response' from Russia despite their continued efforts to free Griner, while Russia has not been willing to engage on a prisoner swap that would see her released.
And while it's unclear which penal colony the WNBA star has been transferred too, she faces the prospect of leaving the colony 'as a different person' according to Olga Romanova of group Russia Behind Bars.
