China student opportunities
A place where you can grow
Standard Chartered is one of the oldest international banks in China, with our first branch in Shanghai set up in 1858 and continuous operations thereafter. We were among the first batch of international banks locally incorporated in China in 2007.
We have outlets across nearly 30 coastal and in-land cities in China, a testimony of our long-term commitment to China. The Belt and Road Initiative, Renminbi, Greater Bay Area, Yangtze River Delta, Capital Markets, Cross Border Trade, Sustainable Finance and Wealth Management, all offer the Bank significant opportunities in both domestic and international markets.
Drawing upon our global footprint and local knowledge, we are well positioned to facilitate trade and investment flows for our clients, including opportunities arising from the opening up of China’s economy, the global supply chain shifts, rising affluent wealth, digitalisation, and an increasing focus on sustainability. We provide high quality and innovative products, services and solutions to our clients in, into and from China, in a safe, efficient, and convenient manner.
