Singapore early careers opportunities
A place where you can grow
Since opening our first branch in Singapore in 1859, Standard Chartered Singapore has become the centre for the majority of our global business leadership and technology operations, as well as home to our innovation hub, SC Ventures.
Over 170 years on, we continue to support both individual and corporate needs to build commerce, and secure better futures at every step of our customers’ journeys. We do this by offering an entire range of financial services across personal, priority and private banking, alongside our business, commercial and corporate banking capabilities.
Our passion to become pioneers by solving challenges for businesses and individuals every day inspires us to collaborate as one team, empowers us to bring our whole selves to work and allows us to share all our triumphs with our loved ones. This is what powers our learning and growth.
