Standard Chartered – leading the way in Asia, Africa and the Middle East
Standard Chartered PLC is a leading international bank, listed on the London, Hong Kong and Mumbai stock exchanges. It has operated for over 150 years in some of the world's most dynamic markets and earns more than 90 per cent of its income and profits in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. This geographic focus and commitment to developing deep relationships with clients and customers has driven the Bank’s growth in recent years.
With 1,700 offices in 70 markets, Standard Chartered offers exciting and challenging international career opportunities for around 80,000 staff. It is committed to building a sustainable business over the long term and is trusted worldwide for upholding high standards of corporate governance, social responsibility, environmental protection and employee diversity. The Bank’s heritage and values are expressed in its brand promise, ‘Here for good’.
In Taiwan, Standard Chartered opened its first branch in 1985. Between 2006 and 2008, the Bank grew with a great leap in this robust market. The acquisition of Hsinchu International Bank in November 2006 marked a milestone in Standard Chartered’s course of development in Taiwan. The completion of integration of the two banks in July 2007 made Standard Chartered an international bank with the largest network in Taiwan. The amalgamation with American Express Bank and the “good bank” part of Asia Trust and Investment Corporation in August and December 2008, respectively, further enhanced Standard Chartered Group’s footprint in Taiwan and demonstrated the Bank’s strong commitment to the Taiwan market. In addition to having the largest branch network, Standard Chartered has the largest mortgage, personal loans and small and medium enterprise (SME) loan portfolio amongst international banks. With nearly 4,000 Mandarin speaking talents, 90 branches across the island, Standard Chartered Taiwan is capable of offering individuals and corporate clients full-scale banking services and innovative products and aspires to become the Bank of Choice in Taiwan.
