Standard Bank Group

Standard Bank traces its origins to 1862, when The Standard Bank of British South Africa was incorporated. Standard Bank Group’s holding company was established in 1969, and the group is headquartered in Johannesburg and listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

The group provides personal and private banking, business and commercial banking, corporate and investment banking, insurance, asset management and specialist financial services. Its network spans African markets alongside global centres in Beijing, Dubai, London and New York, plus offshore hubs in the Isle of Man and Jersey.

Its strongest differentiator is the combination of a large African balance sheet with local operating expertise across the continent. For students, the most relevant areas include investment banking, global markets, commercial banking, technology, risk, data and analytics, and asset management.
