Standard Chartered Bank Bangladesh has been awarded the prestigious "Bank of the year" award at The Banker Awards 2012.

The award was handed over to Jim McCabe, Chief Executive Officer of Standard Chartered Bangladesh at a grand gala dinner program held at The Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel, London recently.

While receiving the award Mr. McCabe said, "we are delighted to receive this award which is a testimony of our commitment to serve our clients in this market consistently over so many years and we are proud to be able to make positive contributions in Bangladesh. We are thankful to all our clients and colleagues of the bank for their support in getting this prestigious award once again."

This is the third international award that Standard Chartered Bangladesh won this year.

A presence in Bangladesh that spans over a century means that we are part of the country's heritage. Starting from opening the first letter of credit in sovereign Bangladesh immediately after independence, Standard Chartered has been a partner in progress for the nation. These awards reiterates that we are 'Here for good' in Bangladesh.'
