Standard Chartered is the only international bank in Sierra Leone, and we have been present since 1894. Today we have 3 branches, which provide a comprehensive range of banking services in both Consumer and Wholesale Banking, while at the same time making the Standard Chartered group network in 56 countries, with over 1200 branches available to the Sierra Leonean market.
Over the last 150 years we have remained committed to Africa. Our understanding of the African market and the needs of her people and business is unsurpassed, and our expertise has been recognised through a number of banking excellence awards such as the 2006 Best Bank in Africa award, bestowed by Euromoney. We have also been voted Bank of the Year for 2004, 2005 and 2006 by the Banker magazine.
Our Consumer Banking clients in Sierra Leone benefit from the expertise of well-trained staff, as well as technology platforms which deliver superior financial solutions. Our products and services include current and savings accounts, fixed deposit accounts and instalment loans for general purposes.
Our Wholesale Bank offering includes cash management services, treasury and trade services. Being part of an international network provides best practice, enabling us to deliver world-class solutions for our client’s cash management needs. We are the only bank that offers segmented service delivery to customers. Being part of a network of 13 dealing rooms in Africa provides us with the necessary competency to provide above par treasury products and services in Africa.
Our geographic footprint is unique. We remain the only bank in Sierra Leone with a strong presence in Asia. As trade with the Asia region grows, we retain the capacity to deliver fantastic propositions to meet all trade banking needs in the market.
Standard Chartered considers the success of the community it works in as important to our business. We continue to support the Sierra Leonean communities in the areas of health, education and youth development.
