would like to express our extremely special thanks of gratitude to our dear & of course
honourable Mr. Kamrul Hassan, Lecturer, Dept. of MSIM who gave us the golden

I would not forget to remember Md Injamamul Haque and Md Mohiuddin of our
group for their unlisted encouragement and more over for their timely support and
guidance till the completion of our project work.
The success and ultimate outcome of this project required a lot of guidance and assistance
from many people and I am extremely fortunate to have got this all along the completion of

Executive summary
The main theme of this project is to boost our knowledge about the banking system of our
country as well as the foreign ones. Research for this report included a review of current
literature on web-based banking and interviews with two experienced bankers
The major findings indicate that the banking expertise & excellence of standard chartered
bank is highly contemporary while some aspects need intense attention like brand-building,
change in the marketing highlightment, making the Branch Self-Informative, making the
information more accessible.
Now it is crystal clear that the banking practice of different banks available in our country
varies in many aspects like product policy, marketing strategy, technology. Standard
chartered bank is also different but exclusive. It may be more leading in position by
enhancing the social responsibility involvement like providing scholarships to the poor and
meritorious students, contributing in socio-infrastructural development, extending aid to
disaster stricken people, expanding the branches throughout the world.
Banking system has been successfully adjusting with the changing demand of the clients
and offering lots of newer & safer services which are beyond clienteles‘ expectation.

its first branch in Dhaka in 1966 and shifted it‘s headquarter from Chittagong to Dhaka
after the birth of the Republic of Bangladesh in 1971.

1.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SCB
The name Standard Chartered basically comes 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‖ was established by Royal Charter from Queen
Victoria in 1853. The key person behind the Chartered Bank was a Scot, James Wilson. He
started ―The Economist‖, which is still one of the world‘s pre-eminent publications and
during his early days he also made his fortune in London making hats. He visualized the
advantages of financing the growing trade links with the areas in the east, where none of
the other financial institutions were present at that time and as such the Chartered Bank
opened two branches in 1858 in Chennai and Mumbai. The same year the bank opened
another branch in Shanghai. The following year the Chartered Bank opened a branch in
Hong Kong and an agency in Singapore. In 1861 the Singapore agency was upgraded to a
branch which in turn financed the rapidly developing 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.
On the other hand, the ―Standard Bank‖ was founded by Scot, John Paterson in 1862. He
immigrated to the Cape Province in South Africa and very soon he became a successful
merchant there. He also visualized the great trading possibilities between Europe and his
adopted country.3
12. 4
From the very beginning both the banks were keen to capitalize on the huge expansion of
trade between Europe, Asia and Africa and to reap the handsome profits to be made from
financing that trade and for that they expanded and prospered with time and decided to
merge in 1969. After the merger the new shares of the Standard and Chartered Banking
Group Limited were listed in the London Stock Exchange on January 30th, 1970. Although
the two banks merged in 1969, but their operations were being executed from two different
headquarters, until on June 1980, the original building of the Chartered Bank was
demolished and a new headquarter of the Standard Chartered Bank PLC was opened on
March 20th, 1986. Right after the merger the bank experienced continuous growth and
expansion in United States and Europe, which led the bank to be one of the top 100 listed
banks in the world. Moreover, it was also judged the best bank in the Asia-Pacific region in
1993 and 1994 for its excellent service and growth rate as
well. The 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.
The bank was prominent in financing the development of
the diamond fields of Kimberley from 1867. It later
extended its network further north to the new town of Johannesburg when gold was
discovered there in 1885.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.
