The lender listed the awards won as #1 Best Private Banking Services Overall– Africa and Nigeria; #1 International Clients Offering – Africa and Nigeria; and #1 UHNW clients – Nigeria.

The Market Head, Africa and Europe, Standard Chartered, Hugo Borges, said, “This is a tremendous reflection of the strength of the private banking team we are building in Africa and our reputation in the market, particularly in Nigeria; we will continue to invest in our teams and build on our capabilities to provide clients with a best-in-class experience.”
