Standard Chartered

We are a leading international banking group, with a presence in 54 of the world’s most dynamic markets. Our purpose is to drive commerce and prosperity through our unique diversity, and our heritage and values are expressed in our brand promise, here for good.
We are a global bank connecting corporate, institutional and affluent clients to a network that offers unique access to sustainable growth opportunities across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Founded in London in 1853, we first opened our doors to clients in Mumbai, Kolkata and Shanghai in 1858. Our story is intimately woven with our core markets, and continues to develop as fast as they do.

We’re a truly global Bank, connecting markets, clients and ideas across the world.

Standard Chartered is where ambitious people come together with a strong sense of accountability – to take action and make good things happen for each other, our clients and our communities. When you work with us, you can expect to be challenged and supported, while helping to build the new economies in trade, innovation and sustainability that will change the world for good.


At Standard Chartered, we believe flexible working isn’t just about when and where you work, it’s also about how and why you work, and what you’re working on. Our flexible working approach is designed to balance business needs with supporting individual wellbeing to enable high performance in a sustainable way.

Our colleagues discuss their flexible work arrangements regularly with their People Leader, to ensure they continue to be fit for purpose and take into account changing work or life circumstances. 

Our flexible working options

Over the last few years, we have really seen the benefits of flexible working and our people tell us it’s one of the reasons they join and stay with us. When you work with us, you have the autonomy to choose your ways of working: combining flexibility in working time, patterns, and location – with agreement from your People Leader.

This allows you to balance business, client and team needs with enough time set aside to come together to collaborate, innovate and connect. At the same time, the flexibility provides support for you and your personal responsibilities and priorities, or just things you love doing outside and around work.
