Standard Chartered originates as a merger of two banks in 1969: The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, and Standard Bank of British South Africa. Despite its British base, Standard Chartered has few customers in the United Kingdom. Ninety percent of its profits come from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Its operations lie predominantly in former British colonies, though over the past two decades it has now expanded operations into 70 countries. Standard Chartered offers banking products to consumers, private clients and business, including an extensive Islamic banking operation.
