Standard Chartered Bank first opened its doors in Brunei Darussalam as a mobile bank in 1958. Since then, it has successfully expanded into a network of 7 branches across the country and employs over 250 people. Standard Chartered’s core business in Brunei Darussalam is Consumer Banking.
Leading the Way Through Innovation
Over the years, the Bank has achieved many banking firsts, all introduced to serve the changing needs of our customers, and at the same time make a positive impact in the local banking industry. Currently, we provide a full range of consumer banking products and services to both individual customers, and small and medium enterprises.
As an international financial organisation, we are – and continuously aim to be – market leaders in the introduction of innovative products and services tailored to the individual needs of our valued customers. New global banking products, highlighting our passion for our customers’ success, are launched by the Bank on a regular basis to suit the ever-changing and growing needs of our customers. In addition, we constantly strive to fulfill our goal to provide excellent service to our customers through Outserve and succeed their expectations, as well as lead our markets with increased consumer satisfaction and loyalty.
Standard Chartered Bank – The Right Partner
As a Group, we are committed to being The Right Partner to our customers. Being the Right Partner means leading by example. We embody these values in our approach to managing our people, outserving our customers and communities, and working with our regulators, thus maintaining high standards of corporate governance.
Our Corporate Social Responsibilities
We realise that we form an integral part of the communities we operate in, and aim to make a difference in these markets. Through utilising our core skills, services and talent, we know that we can make the greatest difference in our community.
This is what makes Standard Chartered Bank unique. Our corporate social responsibilities are two-pronged: Seeing is Believing being a campaign that aims to eradicate blindness; and Living with HIV / AIDS, a campaign to improve awareness and education on this global epidemic.
Working together with the government of Brunei Darussalam, as well as numerous non-governmental charity organisations, Standard Chartered Brunei has introduced and organised many community events to raise funds for these two initiatives, enabling a lasting difference to be made locally. Staff and external parties are also educated through an on-going Bank education programme under the Living with HIV / AIDS programme.
In operating in our markets, we understand that our responsibility as an international organisation lies in contributing through social and economic means to our country. Our endeavours also highlight a need to protect the environment. Thus, we continuously strive to build a sustainable business through taking a long-term view of the consequences of our actions.
