Connecting to a world of possibilities

Standard Chartered’s European Union hub strengthens our ability to serve a diverse and evolving global client base. From Europe, we connect businesses and investors to high-growth opportunities across the United States, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Our EU hub in Frankfurt is home to our Euro clearing operations and we are a direct participant in the same-day CHAPS clearing system for pounds sterling, supporting high-value domestic and cross-border payments.
