THE SCOOP
A truly international investment bank
Standard Chartered PLC was created in 1969 by the merger of the Standard Bank of British South
Africa and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China. Both banks trace their roots to the
1800s, when British trade activities created a need for banking and financial institutions throughout
the far reaches of the British Empire. A period of peaceful growth lasted into modern times-until
1986-when Britain's Lloyds Bank attempted a hostile takeover. Standard Chartered is listed on the
London and Hong Kong stock exchanges. The London-headquartered group derives more than 90
per cent of its operating profits from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The bank's European
operations serve as a bridge to emerging markets. It has more than 1,600 branches in over 70
countries and employs nearly 49,000 people.
Our History
Standard Chartered Bank was formed in 1969 through the merger of two separate banks, the
Standard Bank of British South Africa and the Chartered Bank of
India, Australia and China.
These banks had capitalised on the expansion of trade between
Europe, Asia and Africa.
The Chartered Bank
The Chartered Bank was founded by James Wilson following the grant of a Royal Charter by
Queen Victoria in 1853.
The bank opened in Mumbai (Bombay), Kolkata and Shanghai in 1858, followed by Hong Kong
and Singapore in 1859.
The traditional trade was in cotton from Mumbai, indigo and tea from Kolkata, rice from Burma,
sugar from Java, tobacco from Sumatra, hemp from Manila and silk from Yokohama.
The bank played a major role in the development of trade with the East following the opening of
the Suez Canal in 1869 and the extension of the telegraph to China in 1871.
In 1957 Chartered Bank bought the Eastern Bank, together with the Ionian Bank's Cyprus
Branches and established a presence in the Gulf.
The Standard Bank
The Standard Bank was founded in London in 1862 by John Paterson from the Cape Colony in
South Africa, and started business in Port Elizabeth in the following year.
The bank was prominent in financing the development of the diamond fields of Kimberley from
the 1870s. It later extended its network further north to the new town of Johannesburg when gold
was discovered there in 1886.
The bank expanded in Southern, Central and Eastern Africa and had 600 offices by 1953.
In 1965, it merged with the Bank of West Africa, expanding its operations into Cameroon,
Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
In 1987 Standard Chartered Bank sold its stake in the Standard Bank, which now operates as a
separate entity.

London-based Standard Chartered is one of the biggest companies in the
FTSE 100 although the group is relatively unknown in the UK.
Here are some key facts:
The bank operates more than 1,700 branches, offices and outlets in 70
markets but mainly targets the fast-growing markets of Asia, Africa and the
Middle East, where it derives more than 90% of its income and profits.
It has no branches in the UK but its headquarters are in London and it
employs 2,100 staff in this country.
London is a key hub for its wholesale banking business and carries out
significant private banking and international banking operations.
It sponsors Liverpool FC.
Standard Chartered bank was formed in 1969 through the merger of two
separate banks the Standard bank of British South Africa and the Chartered
bank of India, Australia and China. These banks had capitalised on the
expansion of trade between Europe, Asia and Africa.
Its history dates back more than 150 years.
Chartered bank was founded by James Wilson following the grant of a royal
charter by Queen Victoria in 1853. After opening branches in Mumbai,
Kolkata, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore over the next decade, it traded
in cotton from Mumbai, indigo and tea from Kolkata, rice from Burma, sugar
from Java, tobacco from Sumatra, hemp from Manila and silk from
Yokohama.
Standard bank was founded in the Cape province of South Africa in 1862 by
John Paterson, and started business in Port Elizabeth in the following year. It
helped finance the development of the Kimberley diamond fields from 1867
and extended its network further north to the new town of Johannesburg
when gold was discovered there in 1885. The bank had 600 offices across
southern, central and eastern Africa by 1953.
Standard Chartered today employs 87,000 staff across the world,
representing 130 nationalities.
It reported its ninth year in a row of record profit and income growth in 2011.
Pre-tax profits rose 11% to $6.8bn (4.3 billion), while operating income rose
10% to $17.6bn.
The revelations come days after the group reassured investors that it was not
involved in the Libor rate-rigging scandal.
Its chief executive, Peter Sands, said: "It may seem boring in contrast to what
is going on elsewhere, but we see some virtue in being boring."
