NEW YORK -- J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. has agreed to acquire Citigroup Inc.'s Citicorp Electronic Financial Services Inc. unit for $380 million in cash.

The unit provides government-issued benefits payments and prepaid stored-value cards used by state and federal government agencies, as well as stored-value services for private institutions.

J.P. Morgan Chase said it's targeting a fourth-quarter closing for the acquisition, which it says strengthens its range of services to public-sector clients.

Representatives for New York-based financial companies J.P. Morgan Chase and Citigroup weren't available for comment.
