A summary of the events in the history of Standard Chartered

Standard Chartered is named after two banks, which merged in 1969. They were originally known as the Standard Bank of British South Africa and The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China. Of the two banks, The Chartered Bank is the older one has been found in 1853 following the grant of a Royal Charter from Queen

Victoria. The moving force behind the Chartered Bank was a Scot, James Wilson, who made his fortune in London making hats. James Wilson went on to start The Economist, still one of the world s pre-eminent publications. Nine years later, in 1862, the Standard Bank was founded by a group of businessmen led by another Scot, John Paterson, who had immigrated to the Cape Province in south Africa and had become a successful merchant. Both banks were keen to capitalize on the expansion of trade between Europe, Asia, Africa and to reap the handsome profit to be made from financing the trade. The Chartered bank open its first branch in 1858 in Chennai and Mumbai. A branch opened in Shanghai that summer beginning Standard Chartered unbroken presence in China. The following year the Chartered Bank opened a branch in Hong Kong and an agency was opened in Singapore. In 1861, the Singapore agency was upgraded to a branch, which helped provide finance for the rapidly producing rubber and tin industries in Malaysia. In 1862, The Chartered bank was authorized to issue bank notes in Hong Kong. Subsequently it was also authorized to issue bank notes in Singapore, a privilege it continued to exercise up until the end of the 19th century. Over the following decade both the Standard Bank and the Chartered Bank printed bank notes in a variety of countries including China, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Malaysia. Today Standard Chartered is still one of the three banks, which print Hong Kong s bank notes.

10

Expansion in Africa and Asia

The Standard Chartered Bank opened for business in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in 1863. It pursued a policy of expansion and soon amalgamated with several other banks including the Commercial Banks of Port Elizabeth, the Colesberg Bank, the British Kaffarian Bank and the Fauresmith bank. The Standard bank was prominent in the financing and development of the diamond fields of Kimberly in 1867 and later extended its network further north to the new town of Johannesburg when gold was discovered there in 1885. Over time, half the output of the second largest goldfield in the world passed through the Standard Bank on its way to London. In 1892, the Standard Bank opened for business in Zimbabwe and expanded into Mozambique in 1894, Botswana in 1897, Malawi in 1901, Zambia in 1906, Kenya, Zanzibar and the Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R.C.) in 1911 and Uganda in 1912. Of these new businesses, Botswana, Zanzibar and the D.R.C proved the most difficult and the branches soon closed. A branch in Botswana opened again in 1934 but lasted for only a year and it was not until 1950 that the Bank re-opened for business in Botswana. In Asia the Chartered Bank expanded opening offices. Including Myanmar in 1862, Pakistan and Indonesia in 1863, the Philippines in 1872, Malaysia in 1875, Japan in 1880 and Thailand in 1894. Some 34 years after the Chartered Bank appointed an agent in Sri Lanka it opened a branch in 1892 to take advantage of business from the tea and the rubber industries. During 1904, a branch opened in Vietnam. Both the Chartered and the Standard bank opened offices in New York and Hamburg in the early 1900s. The charted Bank gained the first branch license to be issued to a foreign bank in New York.

11

Standard Chartered PLC

In 1969 the decision was made by the Standard Bank and the Chartered Bank to undergo a friendly merger thus forming standard Chartered PLC. It was one year later that the descendants of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China were finally permitted to open a representative office in Sydney, Australia. Standard chartered subsequently acquired the UK based Hodge Group, in which it already had a minority shareholding, and the Wallace Brothers Group. The Hodge Group brought to Standard Chartered an extensive network of UK offices specializing in installment credit and industrial leasing and after a period of rationalization its name was changed to Chartered Trust limited. Standard Chartered operations in Jersey emerged from the integration of other Hodge Group Business with those of Wallace Brothers Bank (Jersey), Limited.

Standard Chartered decided, after a merger, to expand the Group outside its traditional markets. In Europe a number of offices were opened including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, and Ireland, Spain and Sweden as well as several major cities in the UK. Standard Chartered also opened offices in Argentina, Canada, Colombia, the Falkland Islands, Panama and Nepal. In the USA, a number of offices were opened and three banks were acquired. These included the Union Bank of California, which gave Standard a Chartered a presence in Brazil and Venezuela. The opening of a branch in Istanbul in 1986 was overshadowed by a far more dramatic event when Lloyds bank of the UK made a hostile take-over bid for Standard chartered. Standard Chartered won its right to remain independent but entered i8nto a period of considerable change.

By the late 1980s Standard Chartered already had considerable exposure to third world debt. To this were added provisions against loans to corporations and entrepreneurs who could not meet their commitments. Standard Chartered reviewed its operations and decided to focus on its core strengths of Consumer Banking, Corporate & Institutional Banking and Treasury in its well-established operations in

12

Asia, Africa and the Middle East. This led to a series of divestments notably in Europe, the United States and Africa. During this time staff numbers were reduced, businesses not considered core, were sold or closed, associate holding disposed of, unprofitable branches closed and back office functions consolidated. In addition expensive buildings were sold with the proceeds reinvested in the business, and the senior, management team was radically changed and strengthened.

Standard Chartered in the 1990s

Even within this period of apparent retrenchment Standard Chartered expanded its network, re-opening in Vietnam in 1990, Cambodia and Iran in 1992, Tanzania in 1993 and Myanmar in 1995. With the opening of branches in Macao and Taiwan in 1983 and 1985 plus a representative office in Laos (1996) Standard Chartered now has an office in every country in the Asia Pacific Region with the exception of North Korea. In 1998 Standard Chartered concluded the4 purchase of a controlling interest in Blanco Exterior de los Andes extebandes) an Andean region bank involved primarily in trade finance. With this purchase Standard Chartered now offers full banking services in Colombia, Peru and Venezuela. In1999, Standard Chartered acquired the global trade finance business of Union Bank of Switzerland. This acquisition makes Standard Chartered one of the leading clearers. There is, of dollar payments in the USA. Standard Chartered also opened a new Subsidiary, Standard Chartered Nigeria Limited in Lagos, acquired 75 per cent of the share capital of Metropolitan Bank of the Lebanon.

Standard Chartered current scenario

Today Standard Chartered is the world s leading emerging markets bank employing 30,000 people in over 500 offices in more than 50 countries primarily in countries in the Asia Pacific Region, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

The new millennium has brought with it two of the largest acquisition in the history of the bank with the purchase of Grind lays Bank from the ANZ Group and the acquisition of the Chase Consumer banking operation in Hong Kong in 2000.

These acquisitions demonstrate Standard Chartered firm commitment to the emerging markets, where we have a strong and established presence and where it sees its future growth.

The bank is listed on both the London stock exchange and the stock exchange of Hong Kong and is in the top 25 FTSE-100 companies, by market capitalization.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Meaning of Research:

Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also define research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an act of scientific investigation. The advanced learner s Dictionary of Current English lays down the meaning of research as a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge. Redman and Mory define research as a systematized effort to gain new knowledge.

Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical sense. According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solution; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusion to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis. It is the pursuit of truth with the help of study, observation, comparison and experiment. In short, the search for knowledge through objective and systematic method finding solution to problem is research.

42

Objectives of research:
The purpose of research is to discover answer to questions through the application of scientific procedures. Through each research study has its own specific purpose, we may think of research objectives as falling into a number of following groups: -

To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or archive new insights into it. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else. To test a hypothesis of a casual relationship between variables.

Meaning of research methodology:

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with logic behind them. It is necessary for researcher to know not only the research methods/ techniques but also the methodology. Research methodology has many dimensions and research methods do constitutes a part of the research methodology. Thus when we talk of research methodology we not only talk of research methods but also consider logic behind the methods we use in context of our research study and explain why we are using a particular method or technique and why we are not using others so that research result is capable of being evaluated either by the researcher himself or by others.

43

1. AWARENESS ABOUT MILEAGE The study suggests that awareness level about mileage among the car owners is very low. TABLE-1 AWARE ABOUT MILEAGE Yes No No. Of People 38% 62%

AW AR E N E S S AB OU T MIL E AGE 0% 38% A W A RE A B OUT A BMILE OUT A GE Yes No 62%

Interpretation 62% people do not know about Mileage and its features, most of the people who know about mileage know it, as they are existing customers of Standard Chartered. If awareness level increases market share is likely to increase.

Interpretation The above analysis reveals the fact that out of maximum of the masses Shop owners and owners of small-scale industries are mostly interested, as they require money for short term. Salaried people are also very interested as it gives them an immediate source of money at the time of urgency.

3. Satisfaction Level of the existing Mileage customers

52

Interpretation 65% of the sample from existing customer is satisfied, where as 16% customers are very satisfied while 19% people are dissatisfied. Majority of dissatisfied customers are from the business class, they want prompt service. Interaction with employees is a major reason behind the large number of satisfied customers.

4. Percentage break down of people who are interested in subscribing for an O.D. product like Mileage.

TABLE-4 INTERESTED Yes No No. Of People 67% 33%

Interpretation
Mostly people get attracted to the product but are not aware about the utility and the features. Increase in awareness level about the product will result in increased customer base. The people who show no interest are because they are suspicious about the product and company. Most people are not interested in dealing with a new bank that too private sector.

5. Market share for Car based O.D. product in the sample

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
Limited competition. Good reputation of the bank. Quality of service. Highly cooperative and efficient DST. Experience of 150 years. Exclusive Products. Use of modern technology like Tele Banking, ATMs etc, which makes service delivery faster. Wide range of services and product to suit all customer segments. Operational efficiency

WEAKNESS
Target customer base very small. No presence in semi urban sector. Promotional campaigns are nearly absent. Poor advertising. Less number of ATM s and Branches (In PCMC area). High interest rates.

56

OPPORTUNITIES
Can build a strong distribution network in semi urban cities to trap the untouched market. Customer education will improve the customer base. Increasing awareness will result in increase in customer base. None of the players in the market is concentrating on this category of the product. Numbers of car drivers are increasing very fast, especially with IT boom Pune has high potential.

THREATS
Competition with big giants like ICICI and HDFC. Spread of risk. Challenges posed by other companies in the market. Overdraft rates have gone high. Lower customer base may hinder prompt service.

57

58

LIMITATIONS
Public happens to be a little hesitant in disclosing their financial dealings with everyone.

Moreover, people are much more conscious and are of view that they have enough knowledge of the products and services provided by the various banks.

On the other hand, people banking with their own banks for 15 to 20 years are more loyal and are less susceptible to switch over to Standard Chartered. Here they are being provided with all the facilities. They do not try to break up their long lasting relationship. Thus, to change mindset of the customer requires a lot of time and cannot be done easily.

The other major drawback is that the accounts personnel are not ready to give much information about customers banking with them. They would not talk about investments made by the CEOs, MDs etc. As far as the corporate level is concerned, they are still more comfortable to share information.

The aim of the research was to check the feasibility of the services provided by Standard Chartered Bank on the basis of primary and secondary data and also to check the awareness of the services offered by the same and analyze the data available with the help of various statistical methods.

CONCLUSION
The Standard Chartered Bank has a global presence. It has acquired good recognition in India also. This can be attributed to the fact that the services being offered by the bank has been carefully developed, over the years, after studying the subtleties of Indian market.

The bank offers a wide range of products and services to meet the requirements of varied customers, as customers satisfaction is their prime concern. They aim at making banking convenient for their customers by offering services like Internet banking, phone banking, doorstep banking, ATM Services and so on. Each service/product, offered by the bank is designed for a particular market segment. Moreover, maintaining a relationship along with standard Chartered is a status symbol for people and they really feel proud to be with Standard Chartered.

The adage customer is the king is at last becoming a reality with nifty banks making effort to upgrade and differentiate their services to widen their customer base.

Bank has only 3 ATMS in Pune. And thus are more then 2500 satisfied customers of then special service MILEAGE of Standard Chartered.

RECOMMENDATIONS
As far as the findings are concerned, the service at the standard Chartered bank is satisfactory. From the study I have conducted and knowledge i have acquired from it, I recommend following improvements:

Setting of more branches in the in pune region as there is only one branch where as the closest rival ICICI bank has eight branches. Thus covering more area and in the reach of more customer. Opening more ATM centers as it has only three, where as ICICI has thirty-five ATMs. Thus ICICI is the biggest rival of the bank and it become necessary to compete with ICICI to remain as market leader. Creating awareness among the customer and by promotion and advertisement can do it. More importance should be given to increase customer base that is the most important thing to bring business and this can be done by 1. Surveys. 2. Putting stalls. 3. Participating in trade fairs. 4. Advertising in leading News Paper regularly. 5. Targeting the old customer. 6. Collecting Data from. RTO Leading financier

Speed to deliver service should be increased. It can be increased by. 1. Having a good and very active sales force. 2. Making a separate department for service delivery. 3. Creating awareness among the customer about the services offered.

63

More efforts should be made to retain the customer. Retaining customer is one of the important things that the bank should concentrate on because it is cheaper to retain a customer so as to find a new customer and an old customer does not need too much only just recognition. This can be done by following ways 1. Sending letters about the new offers. 2. Making new scheme for the old customer. 3. Giving concession for continuous loan. 4. Greeting on every occasion/Festival with new proposal. 5. Making phone calls. Customer who has car loan in the past can be good scope.
