Our customer base, includes many of the leading banks and insurance companies, multinationals and development agencies. They deal with us because we're renowned as the experts on doing business in the world's most vibrant, exciting economies.

Our Wholesale Banking team in London specialises in two key areas:

• Corporate and Institutional Banking, where our global relationship managers work with a range of blue chip OECD organisations to leverage the value of our international network.
• Global Markets, where we offer a complete range of foreign exchange and risk management services, and have a reputation for our deep knowledge of the world's emerging markets.

Our business is driven by a strong sense of values. We have a culture that prizes long-term relationships above short-term transactions. This is reflected through our Client base and in the diverse range of capabilities we provide to our clients.

We had an excellent year in 2001 but we don't rest on our laurels and we're determined to increase still further our contribution to Standard Chartered. To do that, we need people: individuals who have their own unique blend of skills and talents to contribute - individuals who can enrich our business through their creativity, their responsiveness and their ideas.

We're a business where you can make a mark: big enough to offer a range of opportunities, yet personal enough for you to have an impact on our success and our future. We offer great training; real chances to progress; a stimulating environment; and rewards that match your performance.

But what we offer above all else is the chance to gain a unique perspective into our Clients through daily interaction with the world's emerging markets. It excites us. We hope it will excite you too.
