A Hong Kong anticorruption body charged a former executive at JPMorgan Chase & Co. with bribery, saying she bribed the chairman of a logistics company by offering to employ his son at the bank.

The city's antigraft watchdog said Catherine Leung Kar-cheung, a former managing director who worked at the bank's Asia-Pacific securities arm, made the employment offer in connection with an initial public offering of the logistics company. The Independent Commission Against Corruption said Ms. Leung has been released on bail and is due in court on Monday.

Ms. Leung had served as vice chairwoman of Asia investment banking at J.P. Morgan.
