Standard Chartered leading the way in Asia, Africa and the Middle East
Standard Chartered PLC, listed on both the London Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, ranks among the top 25
companies in the FTSE-100 by market capitalization. The London-headquartered group has operated for over 150 years in some
of the world's most dynamic markets, leading the way in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Its income and the number of
employees have more than doubled over the last five years primarily as a result of organic growth and supplemented by
acquisitions.
Standard Chartered aspires to be the best international bank in its markets by being the right partner for its
stakeholders and leading by example. The group now employs over 60,000 people, representing some 100 nationalities, in
more than 1,400 branches located in over 50 countries. The bank generates more than 90 per cent of its profits from Asia,
Africa and the Middle East, with balanced income derived from both Wholesale and Consumer Banking. The group is committed
to building a sustainable business over the long term and is trusted worldwide for upholding high standards of corporate
governance, social responsibility, environmental protection and employee diversity.
Standard Chartered has a history of nearly 150 years in Singapore, opening its first branch here in 1859 and in October
1999 was among the first international banks to receive a Qualifying Full Bank (QFB) license, an endorsement of the
Group's long-standing commitment to its businesses in the country.
The Bank employs over 4,400 people in Singapore and has a network of 18 branches and 30 ATMs. Standard Chartered is the
only international bank to offer NETS service, giving customers access to EFTPOS at over 17,000 outlets islandwide. The
Bank's global businesses - Consumer and Wholesale Banking - are managed out of Singapore, as is its global Technology
& Operations function.
