Standard Chartered has been operating in Bangladesh for over a hundred years.[1] After the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, Bangladesh became East Pakistan, thereafter Standard Chartered Bank started its business in 1948, in the port city of Chittagong. Standard Chartered Bank is doing well in Bangladesh. Debit card fee is at least 690 BDT (inclusive of 15% VAT) per year. Account maintenance fee for savings account is 690 BDT (inclusive of 15% VAT) which is taken as 345 BDT (inclusive of 15% VAT) each six months (usually on January 1 and June 30).

While private banks like Dutch Bangla Bank Limited and BRAC Bank Limited have booths all over the country, the bank is holding limited space here though it is one of the largest foreign banks in Bangladesh. It has branches in Bogra, Chittagong, Dhaka, Khulna, Savar and Sylhet. They have ATM booths almost all over Dhaka and Chittagong. Standard Chartered Bangladesh has bought out the Bangladesh operations of various other foreign banks such as Grindlays Bank[2] and American Express.[3]
