PROFILE |
 |
When the British Empire died, Standard Chartered stayed on. The UK-based banking group, often known as Stanchart, operates primarily in Asia, with growing operations in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America; in all it has more than 600 offices in more than 55 countries. Stanchart offers consumer banking accounts and products and services for corporate and institutional banking and treasury services. Standard Chartered bought the non-Swiss trade finance operations of UBS AG. It has taken advantage of the Asian financial crisis to buy up operations in Indonesia and Thailand, and has moved into China.
