A place where we can grow

Standard Chartered Korea is a banking and financial services company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea and a wholly owned subsidiary of Standard Chartered. It was created by the acquisition of the former Korea First Bank by Standard Chartered in 2005.

For over 170 years, we’ve been making sure the world’s rising markets continue to rise. We’re connecting the world by using new techniques to create new possibilities.

We’ve led the way without leaving anyone behind. And what’s more important than our global reach is the local knowledge it’s built on. Visit our local Korea Corporate website to learn more about us.
