You have a need, we give you solutions.

Standard Chartered is an international banking group founded in 1853 and headquartered in London. We offer a full complement of capabilities in the United Kingdom, covering the requirements of our corporate customers in the UK and Europe, and our institutional banking customers worldwide.

We are one of 16 direct settlement members of the British Pound Sterling (SWIFT Code GBP) same-day value electronic payment system, CHAPS, which operates on a Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) basis. As one of the CHAPS clearing banks, Standard Chartered has an impressive operation with outstanding capabilities, excellent systems and the capacity to take on additional volume without adversely affecting high service levels.

The introduction of the euro, the new single currency of Economic and Monetary Union in the European Union, offers Standard Chartered the opportunity to compete with other European banks in being able to offer same-day clearing in Europe. Although the UK has not elected to join Economic and Monetary Union at this stage, Standard Chartered is a full euro-clearing bank. We are also full members of the Euro Banking Association which operates EURO1, an inter-bank system used by its member banks (many of the major banks operating in Europe) to clear euros cross-border on a net end-of-day settlement basis.

Standard Chartered fully understands the importance of time, convenience and efficiency to the success of your business. We aim to make a complex financial world easy for you and help you maximise your opportunities.

With over 140 years of experience in the trade finance business and an extensive international branch network, we provide a comprehensive range of flexible and innovative services wherever in the world you do business. We are committed to helping you succeed in a competitive environment. Our products and services are constantly evolving to keep pace with your needs and to fit the way you do business.

Please feel free to talk to us or email us on your business requirements and we can give you innovative solutions to your banking needs.
