Standard Chartered Best Trade Finance Bank in South Asia

Standard Chartered Bank has been voted the best trade finance bank in South Asia for 2011 by the Global Trade Review (GTR) Magazine readers. Over 5,000 votes were cast for the GTR’s Leaders in Trade Awards 2011.

South Asia (excluding Pakistan) contributed around 14% of the bank’s global trade revenues on a booked basis last year. Additionally, trade also contributes significantly to revenues in the bank network by originating deals in the corporate and banks segments.

Head of Origination and Client Coverage, Sri Lanka Colin Pawley stated this Award is a reflection of Standard Chartered’s strong trade business in Sri Lanka and based on an extensive product suite which is offered through the Bank’s team of Relationship Managers who has the necessary expertise to offer tailor-made solutions and services.
