Standard Chartered is a major player in transaction banking, combining deep local knowledge and global capability to offer the full scope of innovative, customised solutions in trade finance, cash management and security services.
We have a unique business focus on enabling trade, investment and supply chain financing for, in and out from Asia, Africa and the Middle East. We aim to be a one-stop gateway providing supply chain and global liquidity management for OECD corporates and financial institutions looking to extend their networks locally. And we are committed to using our cross-border network to facilitate our local clients’ growing trade and investment flows and supply chain financing needs across our business footprint.
We are uniquely positioned in these trade corridors, supporting commodity flows from Africa to Asia and manufacturing flows in the other direction.
Transaction banking is an integral part of Wholesale Banking. As a top three global finance bank, number one sub custodian in Asia, top 4 international cash manager with the largest number of client relationships in Asia – we are a key driver of Wholesale Banking aspirations.
We focus exclusively on corporate and institutional clients domiciled or conducting business in our footprint, offering clients access to our extensive branch network and award-winning suite of electronic client access channels (known as “Straight2Bank”).
Standard Chartered has a proud 150 + year history starting as a trade bank. Transaction banking is core to that heritage.
