Standard Chartered Bank Vietnam awarded Golden Dragon Award 2013

The Golden Dragon Awards are presented annually by the Vietnam Economic Times in collaboration with the Foreign Investment Agency and the Ministry of Planning and Investment, to recognise and celebrate foreign-invested enterprises for their significant contributions to Vietnam.

This is the seventh consecutive year that Standard Chartered has won this prestigious award.

As a leading international bank with a long history in Vietnam, Standard Chartered has been at the forefront of driving innovation and the introduction of world class expertise in the country.

In raising the bar for the entire industry, Standard Chartered has helped to create a more robust financial services sector in Vietnam.

Nirukt Sapru, general director of Standard Chartered Bank (Vietnam), said: “2014 is a very special year for Standard Chartered in Vietnam as it marks the 110th anniversary of the opening of our first branch in the country. Being recognised again as the ‘Most Favourite International Bank’ is a significant achievement and it has helped to make our anniversary celebration even more meaningful.”

“Standard Chartered is deeply committed to Vietnam. We will continue to support Vietnam’s efforts to attain sustainable economic growth and strive to offer more innovative banking products and services for our clients and customers,” he asserted.

Standard Chartered Vietnam’s achievements have been recognised both globally and locally.

Last year, the Bank was named ‘Best consumer internet bank 2013’ by Global Finance and ‘Best service provider in Vietnam’ in the three categories: Best Cash Management Provider, Best Structured Trade Finance Provider and Best eSolutions Partner Bank by the Asset.

Additionally, the State Bank of Vietnam Governor presented Standard Chartered with the ‘Excellent Labour Collective 2012’ award in recognition of its many contributions to the country.
