Standard Chartered PLC is a British multinational bank with operations in consumer, corporate and investment banking, and treasury services. Despite being headquartered in the United Kingdom, it does not conduct retail banking in the UK, and around 90% of its profits come from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Standard Chartered has a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. It has secondary listings on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the National Stock Exchange of India, and OTC Markets Group Pink. Its largest shareholder is the Government of Singapore-owned Temasek Holdings.[4][5][6] The Financial Stability Board considers it a systemically important bank.

José Viñals is the group chairman of Standard Chartered.[7] Bill Winters is the current group chief executive.[8]
