Standard Chartered Bank’s excellence in online banking has been recognised by Global Finance Magazine which named the Bank the World’s Best Internet Bank for Africa and the Middle East.
The Bank out-performed the competition in eight markets within Africa and the Middle East to take the top honours for the superiority of its overall online servicing capabilities in Botswana, Kenya, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Jordan, Qatar and United Arab Emirates.
Continuing the winning streak, Standard Chartered was also awarded Best Corporate and Institutional Internet Bank for offering the Best Trade Finance Services and Best Integrated Corporate Bank Site. The Bank also picked up the regional award for Best Corporate Bank.
The bank was also recognised for its strong online client service, broad online product offering and high quality website design and functionality which have underpinned its success in growing its online client base.
Standard Chartered continues to focus on strengthening its capabilities and on delivering flexible and convenient solutions for its clients – whether they are a small enterprise, a multi-national corporation or a financial institution, a press release from the bank states.
The release went on “With Straight2Bank, Standard Chartered’s single interface electronic platform launched last year, clients can undertake increasingly sophisticated transaction, hedging and information services or access a range of scalable, leading-edge working capital solutions to suit their segments, products and geographies”.
