DHAKA, July 19, 2026 (BSS) - Standard Chartered Bangladesh has secured multiple prestigious international awards, further cementing its position as one of the country's leading financial institutions and a trusted partner in Bangladesh's economic journey.

Against a backdrop of global economic uncertainty, foreign exchange volatility, accelerating technological disruption and rising expectations around responsible banking, the Bank has continued to demonstrate resilience and leadership. 

From advancing sustainable finance and accelerating digital transformation to delivering innovative client solutions and deepening its impact across communities, Standard Chartered Bangladesh has remained focused on enabling growth for its clients and the markets it serves, said a press release.

Reflecting the strength of its franchise, global connectivity and deep understanding of local market dynamics, Standard Chartered Bangladesh secured the following honours from leading international awarding bodies: Bangladesh's Best Bank for Corporate Responsibility (CSR) at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, Bangladesh's Best Islamic Bank at the Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards 2026, Bangladesh's Best Islamic Digital Bank at the Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards 2026, Bangladesh International Trade Finance Bank of the Year at the Asian Banking & Finance (ABF) Wholesale Banking Awards 2026, Bangladesh International Cash Management Bank of the Year at the Asian Banking & Finance (ABF) Wholesale Banking Awards 2026.

Widely regarded as among the most respected benchmarks in global financial services, the Euromoney and Asian Banking and Finance awards celebrate institutions which set industry standards in innovation, client services, integrity and impact. These recognitions are particularly significant in endorsing leadership in responsible banking, Shariah-compliant financial solutions and the ability to support clients in navigating increasingly complex business environments.

Commenting on the achievements, Enamul Huque, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Standard Chartered Bangladesh, said: “We are honoured to receive these recognitions from Euromoney and ABF.
