Dhaka, April 28, 2023 - Standard Chartered Bangladesh was recently recognised as Bangladesh's best CSR bank and most innovative digital bank by International Business Magazine.

The bank received the two prestigious awards for its outstanding commitment to corporate social responsibility and its innovation in the digital banking sector, said a press release.
