Standard Chartered ink partnerships to deepen global Indian proposition
The bank wants to further unlock access to Indian business networks in Singapore.
Standard Chartered has inked partnership agreements with the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in Singapore.
The bank aims to deepen its global Indian proposition by further unlocking access to Indian business networks in Singapore as well as enhancing the bank’s presence in the community, according to a press release on 15 October 2025.
The bank has observed a “significant rise” in wealth amongst the global Indian community, accompanied by a growing demand for more sophisticated cross-border banking and wealth solutions, said James Lye, global and Singapore international banking head at Standard Chartered.
The number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in India with over $1m in liquid assets has doubled in the past decade, according to Standard Chartered. The bank expects this segment to reach 1.6 million by 2027.
