In detail

Standard Chartered has been operating in Pakistan for over 140 years, with the Chartered Bank first opening an office in Karachi in 1863. Today it is the largest international bank in Pakistan with 127 branches. This follows the successful acquisition of ANZ Grindlays (in 2000) and the Union Bank of Pakistan (in 2006).  We were the first international bank to receive an Islamic banking license, and to be listed on all three of its stock exchanges.

We also offer a full array of banking services and cash management solutions across Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, and the UAE. We were the first bank to open a branch in Jordan, and are now the largest international bank operating there today.

Standard Chartered is currently creating a major resourcing hub in the U.A.E at the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC). The region is central to our entire geographic footprint and will play an increasingly pivotal role in facilitating trade flows between Asia and Africa. Standard Chartered was the first settlement bank for the Dubai International Financial Exchange (DIFX), the first bank to purchase property in the DIFC and the first wholesale bank to receive a licence there.  

Our Middle East and North Africa network also services several surrounding countries.
