Standard Chartered Bank Zimbabwe Limited was first established in the then Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1892. At the time, the bank was called The Standard Bank of British South Africa. The first branch was located in a bell tent in the city of Bulawayo.
In 1962, the Standard Bank of British South Africa was renamed The Standard Bank Limited and its South African business was transferred to a locally incorporated subsidiary. In 1969 Standard Bank merged with The Chartered Bank to form Standard and Chartered Banking Group Limited.
In 1985 the parent company of the group was renamed Standard Chartered PLC.
Standard Chartered Bank Zimbabwe became the first Bank in Zimbabwe to introduce Automated Teller Machines (ATM) in 1990. Currently, the Bank’s ATM network is the largest in the country.
In 1992, the Bank commemorated a century of operations in Zimbabwe, and to further cement its leadership position in technological innovation, the Bank became the first commercial bank in Zimbabwe to establish a presence on the Internet in 1997.
