Standard Chartered Bangladesh

Company Overview

Standard Chartered Bank is the largest international bank in Bangladesh with 26 Branches & Booths and 87 ATMs; employing over 2,000 people. We are the only foreign bank in the country with presence in 6 cities – Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Sylhet, Bogra and Narayanganj; including offshore banking units inside Dhaka Export Processing Zone (DEPZ) at Savar and Chittagong Export Processing Zone (CEPZ).

Standard Chartered Bank has been actively engaged in the growth and development of Bangladesh. Standard Chartered is the first bank to have setup operations in Bangladesh over 110 years ago, and we never closed our doors even during the most difficult periods facing the world; that in itself is a testimony to our confidence in the growth and development of this country. Standard Chartered has been the pioneer in the introduction of modern banking products and services to the industry; helping to open the first sovereign Letter of Credit for Bangladesh, introducing the first ATM machine and credit card, as well as introducing online banking and contact centre facilities to customers.

Standard Chartered is also the pioneer in introducing foreign exchange and derivative solutions in the market. It supports businesses, consumers and government agencies with much-needed financing through its onshore and offshore network of branches. The CAPEX offshore lending is equivalent to around one-fifth of Bangladesh’s total foreign direct investment inflows, representing a significant support towards the country’s economic development.

The Bank also plays an important role in Bangladeshi society through its business practices, including its approach to sustainable finance and its staff training programmes. Many bankers now working in Bangladesh began their career at Standard Chartered, many went on to become CEOs or Deputy Managing Directors at other banks.

By continuing to evolve and innovate, by shaping customer expectations beyond the immediate future, and by sharing its global best practices for the development of the country’s banking industry, Standard Chartered remains the foremost financial institution in Bangladesh with its brand promise – Here for good.
