Corporate and investment banking

Standard Bank's Corporate & Investment Banking business unit serves a wide range of client requirements around the world for banking, finance, trading, investment, risk management and advisory services. Having developed in line with globalising capital markets and the growing sophistication in financing requirements in emerging markets, the division has built a deep understanding of the market dynamics in countries with rapidly developing economies.

Together with our specialist product expertise, strong local capacity and global distribution reach, this understanding allows us to provide customer-focused solutions relevant in financial systems with different levels of maturity, and in markets at different stages of development.

We have invested significantly in growing our capacity in strategically important countries and regions, while also strengthening our specialist product teams and global distribution capability. Our strong local teams are able to provide clients with relevant experience and deep insight into local commercial and regulatory environments. Client relationship managers develop close relationships with clients and link in our specialist product and global distribution teams to deliver innovatively and appropriately on individual requirements.

We maintain a specific focus on industry sectors that are most relevant to emerging markets and have strong sector value propositions in: mining & metals; oil, gas & renewables; telecommunications & media; power & infrastructure; agribusiness and Financial Institutions. Standard Bank’s growing global presence allows us to take advantage of the increasing movement of capital between emerging markets, and to facilitate trade flows.
