STANDARD CHARTERED BANK
Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) is the largest
international bank in Brunei Darussalam with 63
years of presence in the country. In addition to Brunei,
SCB operates in 60 markets across the globe, driving
commerce and prosperity for people and businesses in
Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
A key differentiator for SCB is, undeniably, its global
network. With global trade at risk of a slow recovery
due to the pandemic, it is more crucial now than
ever for businesses to seek opportunities through
diversification and digitising their infrastructure – and
with SCB’s global network and expertise, the bank can
help share insights and leverage on global expertise
for local solutions. As a global bank, SCB is held to
high international industry standards, with a robust
risk management framework governed by local and
international regulations.
ASEAN 2021
ASEAN stands out as an investment destination
especially as governments in the region have announced
various economic stimulus plans to support growth.
As the world works together to combat COVID-19 and
governments unveil stimulus packages to jumpstart
economies, adapting business models to changing
environments is critical to growth and employment.
As the only international bank present in all 10 ASEAN
markets, SCB has developed a unique understanding of
the region and needs across the markets.
With Brunei chairing ASEAN this year, SCB looks
forward to supporting the themes and opportunities
which may arise from the position.
Future ways of working
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the resilience of
people and businesses that have been able to adapt
and pivot new ways of working and SCB is no different
