"Standard Chartered Bank continues to set new benchmarks in both customer service and technological innovation, and the new web site is set to change the way people bank in the UAE forever", added Som.

V. Chandrasekar, Regional Head of Information Technology and Systems, Middle East and South Asia said: "Privacy and security were front of mind when we developed this site, but we also had to ensure the site is user friendly, easy to use, and highly accessible."
