1.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SCB
The name Standard Chartered basically comes after two banks which merged in 1969.
They were originally known as the ―Standard Bank‖ of British South Africa and the
―Chartered Bank‖ of India, Australia and China.
Of the two banks, the ―Chartered Bank‖ was established by Royal Charter from Queen
Victoria in 1853. The key person behind the Chartered Bank was a Scot, James Wilson. He
started ―The Economist‖, which is still one of the world‘s pre-eminent publications and
during his early days he also made his fortune in London making hats. He visualized the
advantages of financing the growing trade links with the areas in the east, where none of
the other financial institutions were present at that time and as such the Chartered Bank
opened two branches in 1858 in Chennai and Mumbai. The same year the bank opened
another branch in Shanghai. The following year the Chartered Bank opened a branch in
Hong Kong and an agency in Singapore. In 1861 the Singapore agency was upgraded to a
branch which in turn financed the rapidly developing rubber and tin industries in Malaysia.
In 1862 the Chartered Bank was authorized to issue bank notes in Hong Kong.
Subsequently it was also authorized to issue bank notes in Singapore, a privilege it
continued to exercise up until the end of the 19th Century.
On the other hand, the ―Standard Bank‖ was founded by Scot, John Paterson in 1862. He
immigrated to the Cape Province in South Africa and very soon he became a successful
merchant there. He also visualized the great trading possibilities between Europe and his
adopted country.3

From the very beginning both the banks were keen to capitalize on the huge expansion of
trade between Europe, Asia and Africa and to reap the handsome profits to be made from
financing that trade and for that they expanded and prospered with time and decided to
merge in 1969. After the merger the new shares of the Standard and Chartered Banking
Group Limited were listed in the London Stock Exchange on January 30th, 1970. Although
the two banks merged in 1969, but their operations were being executed from two different
headquarters, until on June 1980, the original building of the Chartered Bank was
demolished and a new headquarter of the Standard Chartered Bank PLC was opened on
March 20th, 1986. Right after the merger the bank experienced continuous growth and
expansion in United States and Europe, which led the bank to be one of the top 100 listed
banks in the world. Moreover, it was also judged the best bank in the Asia-Pacific region in
1993 and 1994 for its excellent service and growth rate as
well. The Standard Bank was founded in the Cape
Province of South Africa in 1862 by John Paterson, and
started business in Port Elizabeth in the following year.
The bank was prominent in financing the development of
the diamond fields of Kimberley from 1867. It later
extended its network further north to the new town of Johannesburg when gold was
discovered there in 1885.The bank expanded in Southern, Central and Eastern Africa and
had 600 offices by 1953. In 1965, it merged with the Bank of West Africa, expanding its
operations into Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
In 1987 Standard Chartered Bank sold its stake in the Standard Bank, which now operates
as a separate entity.

Net Promoter Score (NPS) Index:
NPS gauges customer support for the Consumer Banking products and services we
provide. We ask our customers ―How likely are you to recommend Standard Chartered to a
friend or colleague?‖ and apply a 10-point-scale where one is not likely at all and 10 is
most likely. We then derive the NPS by subtracting the percentage of detractors (those who
score one to five) from the percentage of promoters (those who score eight to 10). It
operates on a scale from –100 (all detractors) to +100 (all promoters).

Chapter 5 Corporate Social Responsibility
5.1 Corporate Social Responsibility at Standard Chartered Bank,
Bangladesh:
In addition to its business activities, Standard Chartered Bangladesh benefits the country
through its wide range of sustainability and community investment programs. The Bank is
the forerunner in CSR and Sustainability initiatives in Bangladesh.
The major areas of focus for the Bank‘s sustainability and community Initiatives in
Bangladesh are Health, Sports, Education, Arts and Culture, Environment and Climate
Change. We continuously carry on various meaningful activities that help the community.
We always strive to be a force for good in Bangladesh. Under our ‗Seeing is Believing‘
Project, Standard Chartered helps restore eyesight of the underprivileged. The fourth phase
of Seeing is Believing – A New Vision aims to raise USD 20 million to develop
comprehensive, sustainable eye care for 20 million people in less advantaged areas of 20
cities across the world, including Dhaka. In Dhaka, we have committed USD 1 million to
Dhaka Urban Comprehensive Eye Care project that will serve over 270,000 visually
impaired people. Standard Chartered Bangladesh has built an Operation Theatre and
children‘s Ward at Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute & Hospital and provides for its
maintenance since 2003.We funded free cataract operations for the underprivileged in
Chittagong & Sylhet. Through the ‗Living with HIV‘ programme, Standard Chartered
helps educate not only our staff but the youth in our communities about HIV/AIDS and its
prevention. We formed Bangladesh Business Coalition on HIV & AIDS (BBCA) with 10
corporate bodies. We also organized Living with HIV seminars for our clients in the RMG
Sector; the bank has also developed an infomercial on HIV/AIDS – starring Partha
PratimMajumder, world renowned Bangladeshi Mime artist, to raise awareness about this
important issue.
In 2012 the bank commissioned a study to assess the social and economic impact of
Standard Chartered in Bangladesh. This study was done by Professor Ethan Kapstein from
INSEAD. The report assesses the direct, indirect and induced impact of Standard Chartered
on Bangladesh and how it positively impacts country‘s GDP, employment, trade, various
business sectors and the community at large. The Bank has also focused its efforts in the
areas of history, culture and art, seeking to make a difference and surface little known
90
events and artwork. Recent works have included publications of books such as the English
version of ―Bandhon Hara‖ by the National Poet of Bangladesh Kazi Nazrul Islam, first
bilingual edition of ―Chhinnapatra‖ - a very special compilation of photographs taken by
Late Dr. Noazesh Ahmed based upon Tagore‘s famous literary creation (as a tribute to
Tagore on his 150th birth anniversary). This work of photo-literature was first published in
Bengali in 2002, by Standard Chartered Bank. Other publications include ‗Dhaka alias
Jahangirnagar: 400 years‘; ‗Ekattor: Moment of Victory‘; ‗Street Traders of Bangladesh‘;
‗Ekush‘; and ‗Rare Photographs of East Bengal 1880-1940.‘ Standard Chartered - The
Daily Star ―Celebrating Life‖ Contest is a platform for new talents across the country to
pursue their artistic and career goals in Film, Photography & Lyrics. The Bank has been
sponsoring this for the last 6 years. Apart from the gala annual award giving ceremony,
concerts and exhibitions (of photos and films) organised at several districts drew huge
crowds. In 2012, an intensive Film-Making Workshop was organised where 3 leading
directors taught participants for 4 months, and helped the students direct their own short
films. The bank also organized ―Celebrating Life Shadhinota Concert‖ on 31 March 2012
at Suhrawardy Udyan to celebrate Bangladesh's 40 years of independence.
Standard Chartered encourages development of youth through education scholarships and
sports sponsorships. Our efforts include sponsorship of Young Learners
Club of The British Council; ‗Governor Scholarship‘ in partnership with Dhaka University
Economics Department Alumni Association (DUEDAA) & Dhaka University
Department of Development Studies (DUDS); and the longstanding sponsorship of
Standard Chartered Young Tigers U-16 National Cricket Tournament. In the 2012
tournament, a total of 11,144 players from 538 teams played 1,096 matches in 72 venues
across the country for the coveted U – 16 title.
The Bank also encourages all corporate bodies in Bangladesh to uphold high standards of
social responsibility. We recognize exemplary work in the field of CSR
through Standard Chartered - Financial Express Corporate Social Responsibility Award.
The 4th Standard Chartered - Financial Express Corporate Social
Responsibility Award was held in March 2012.
Standard Chartered also partnered with The British Council for 'Climate4Classrooms' and
‗3000‘miles to go‘ campaigns to raise nationwide awareness on climate change issues,
mostly amongst school children and teachers.
Standard Chartered has always stood by the people of this community. During the cold
wave that shook the whole country in 2012, the bank donated over 6000blankets and
winter clothes to the unprivileged in Rajshahi, Dinajpur & Jamalpur. The bank also handed
over warm blankets to Bangladesh Bank for distribution among the poor and cold-affected
people in different parts of the country. Standard Chartered organized a blood donation
program along with Bangladesh Red Crescent Society in February 2012. A total of 179
units of bloods were collected in a single day and a large number of female colleagues of
the Bank also took part in the initiative. The bank also sponsored construction of classroom
of JAAGO Foundation at Rayerbazar, Dhaka along with opportunities for staff to volunteer
and help at the school. Employees from all departments volunteered nearly 1,000 days in
2012 (every employee is entitled to volunteer 3 days with full pay for the community) at
91
different events including World Sight Day 2012; JAAGO Foundation; Project for the
underprivileged children at Utsho Bangladesh; Utsho Bidyaniketan; Development Centre
of World Vision & Brac School in Chittagong.With a presence in Bangladesh that spans
over 100 years, Standard Chartered is proud to be the oldest bank in the country; and an
integral partner in progress for the nation and its people. At Standard Chartered, we are
committed to be here for people, here for progress, here for the long run - Here for good.

5.2 Social responsibilities carried out by Standard chartered bank
throughout the world:
At Standard Chartered, we are very clear on our obligations to society. Our brand promise
Here for good captures our commitment to always try to do the right thing, to take a long-
term view, to support our clients and customers and the communities where we operate.We
have three key sustainability priorities: contributing to sustainable economic growth, being
a responsible company and investing in communities.We are proud to have grown with
Hong Kong for over 150 years. We will continue to support Hong Kong's development as
a great place to live and work, focusing our community efforts on the areas of youth,
health, education and the environment.
A.There are 39 million blind people in the world. Yet, 80% of blindness is avoidable.
Seeing is Believing is Standard Chartered's global fundraising programme that helps
eradicate avoidable blindness. Standard Chartered will match all donations, dollar for
dollar.Since the launch of the programme in 2003, we have already raised over US$50
million (as of 2012), and have helped more than 31 million people. By 2020, we aim to
fundraise US$100 million for Seeing is Believing.For Hong Kong, we partner with ORBIS
International to carry out sight restoration, treatment, training to medical professionals and
education in China.If you wish to make a donation to support Seeing is Believing projects
in China, please deposit to the following Standard Chartered account:
Account Name: PROJECT ORBIS INTERNATIONAL INC.
Account Number: 447-0-050014-9
94
B.
Standard Chartered initiated the global programme "Living with HIV" in 2003 to fight the
epidemic of HIV/AIDS.Our Living with HIV effort is simple: education. We believe that
education can prevent the spread of HIV. Being informed and aware, knowing the facts,
understanding the risks and adopting safer behaviours can help avoid infection in the first
place or prevent passing it on if someone is already HIV-positive. And through education,
we can work to eliminate myths, stigma and discrimination, helping to stop the rejection,
fear and isolation experienced by people infected or affected around the world.The Bank
trains staff volunteers to become "Living with HIV Champions" who will further help
share the knowledge with others.In Hong Kong, we work closely with different
organisations such as AIDS Concern, Chi Heng Foundation, universities and corporations
to promote awareness and understanding of HIV and AIDS through thought leadership,
peer education and community service.

customers. They are now doing a very good job to help the customer. And now the
overall performance of the bank also depends on the performance of the call center. From
the survey it is found that the customers are very much pleased on the call centre
performance. Still improvement is needed. Because the overall performance of the call
center depends on the attentiveness of the call center representatives as well as their
quality of service so improvement is needed in both the cases.

Conclusion
Standard chartered bank has brought about a modernistic modification in banking sector and
facilitated our life to a great extent. Our banking experience is not confined within the geographical
territory. All the banking service in this bank is of high standard. But its high service cost is the
only limitation of this bank. Though it has performed myriad kinds of social responsibilities the
student class is not given the least importance. We strongly believe that this factor will soon be
taken into its purview and this bank will surprise us with the more convenient & safer services &
will be able to accomplish its objectives.
With years of banking experience, Standard Chartered is undoubtedly in a strong position to help
growing business sail through the complexities they may face. Standard Chartered Bank offers one
of the widest range of banking products and services in the market today. Managing a growing
business demands most of your time and energy. That is why working with the right bank can help
one‘s business sail more smoothly and Standard Chartered Bank helps in doing that as it
understands today‘s business requirements. The bank provides the right kind of services and
accounts at the right time and according to the need of market. The expertise of Standard Chartered
with over 150 years‘ experience, global network of 1700 offices in 70 countries making it one of
the leading providers of treasury financial services. As the largest independent distributor of third
party funds, Standard Chartered gives investors choice, unbiased evaluation of funds and a
portfolio management account that matches your risk profile and investment goals. Not only this,
the bank provides the widest range of foreign currencies for your investment needs plus other
products such as housing loan, insurance and unit trusts. Standard Chartered Bank well developed
remote channels for your banking convenience through our 24-hour phone banking and internet
banking. Foreign banks in Bangladesh are subject to the same regulations as scheduled banks.
Currently about 9 foreign banks are licensed to operate in Bangladesh. Foreign bank branches in
Bangladesh finance trade through their global networks. All commercial banks including Standard
Chartered face stiff restriction on the use of both their assets and liabilities. Forty per cent of loan
must be directed to ―priority sectors‖ and the high liquidity ratio and cash reserve requirements
severely limit the availability of deposits for lending. Since July 1993, foreign banks like Standard
Chartered have been requiring to make 32 percent of their loans to the priority sector. Within the
target of 32 percent, two sub targets for loans to the small scale sectors (minimum of 10 percent)
and exports (minimum of 12 percent)have been fixed. Foreign banks, however, are not required to
open branches in rural areas, or to make loans to the agricultural sector.

RECOMMENDATIONS/ SUGGESTIONS
1.STRONG NEEDS OF BRAND BUILDING
The bank needs to make a lot of marketing efforts. The level of recognition that may be
desired by any brand has not been achieved by Standard Chartered Bank. A lot of noise is
made whenever a child is born and as long as that noise is not made the doctors are not
sure about life of that child. Same is the case in marketing. Whenever a new branch comes
into existence it is necessary that they announce their birth. Here comes the pre-launch
exercises, and in similar in the case after the birth, the name has to be taken again. Boast
about yourself ,about the strong points that you have over and above your competitors. Pull
the customers towards you. As said earlier it is a relationship of trust and this trust can be
generated through the better and better performance of the bank. Now as working with the
bank for some time the fact have come out that they believe in low costing and want to
keep low profile. So better way of marketing can be sought which are low of cost. These
are discussed further

2.NEED A CHANGE IN MARKETING FOCUS
The marketing team of the branch has until now focused on selling of their most
competitive product, which are there fixed deposits. The rates of interest, which they
provide on fixed deposits, are really competitive and highest in the market. But this
strategy could not be held for a longer period of time as in the long run it would become
liability to the bank to pay such high rate of interest and it would lower the revenues of
the branch. Even the survey conducted proved that the fastest selling product is savings
account amongst the consumer. With a network that is good enough this bank can make
efforts to increase the market share in the area where the competition is so tough. This
needs a brain storming from the top management in the branch as to how about fixing the
targets in each category of accounts.
Solid network required to develop the business further
If we see the results of the survey, it is evident that people prefer strong network system to
make their banking life as comfortable and reachable as possible. For Standard Chartered
bank to enjoy a good customer base they should make efforts towards developing more and
more ATM in the cities and extension counters to facilitate better and fast service.
Updating of technology from time to time is very necessary. Standard Chartered bank was
the very first bank to start few of the very good services like internet banking, bringing
about new services to attract more and more consumers should carry on this tradition

Corrective positioning of Standard Chartered bank
Standard Chartered bank is known for its corporate operations. Very big names in the
corporate world have their account with the bank. For the past so many years it has been
catering to these clients only and has generated an image of being a corporate bank. The
product extension into the retail segment need separate focus and separate positioning in
the market. The bank cannot carry on its old image for both segment of market. For this a
distinctive advertising campaign has to be developed (refer to the promotional activities
stated earlier) to reposition the brand in potential consumer‘s mind. It should be noted that
both the type of clients differ from each other in their true nature. One is a very low profile
relationship, which talks about masses. This type of client requires assurance, trust,
information and support. This is retail banking. While on the other hand the second type of
relationship is stronger, which is the corporate client that requires different setup all
together.
3.MAKE THE BRANCH SELF-INFORMATIVE
The branch should be decorated in the manner, which would provide maximum
information to the customer without any difficulty. All the schemes and product, all the
X
service charges, days and time of transaction should be printed in a beautiful manner and
hanged on the walls of the branch where customer can see with ease. This was one of the
things, which was found to be absent in this branch. By doing so customers would feel
more attached and it will be converted in higher number of accounts.
4.SERVICE LIKE PHONE BANKING AND ATM SHOULDBE ENCOURAGED.

Profit attributable to ordinary
shareholders

Renegotiated loans
Loans and advances are generally renegotiated either as
part of an ongoing customer relationship or in response to
an adverse change in the circumstances of the borrower. In
the latter case renegotiation can result in an extension of
the due date of payment or repayment plans under which
the Group offers a concessionary rate of interest to
genuinely distressed borrowers. Such assets will be

  • 3. III Acknowledgement The practices of banking activities have revolutionized each and every spectrum of business and economic world. So, being in this tremendously competitive and globalized world we do need to have knowledge about banking. No doubt, a project on an internationally renowned multinational foreign bank ―STANDARD CHARTERED BANK‖ will definitely pave us the way for enriching our knowledge in this arena. We would like to express our extremely special thanks of gratitude to our dear & of course honourable Mr. Kamrul Hassan, Lecturer, Dept. of MSIM who gave us the golden opportunity to work on this pragmatic and fantabulous project on the topic ―Standard chartered bank‖, which help us carry out lots of research and know so many new things. Not only that, we want to thank him once more for providing us such an excellent support and guidance despite his busy schedule. I would not forget to remember Md Injamamul Haque and Md Mohiuddin of our group for their unlisted encouragement and more over for their timely support and guidance till the completion of our project work. The success and ultimate outcome of this project required a lot of guidance and assistance from many people and I am extremely fortunate to have got this all along the completion of my project work. Whatever I have done is only due to such guidance and assistance and I heartily thank all of our group members. I would like also thank my Institution and my faculty members. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to all the classmates of my batch, my seniors and juniors also. Sincerely Md Alaftagin Roshab Editor , Group “j”
  • 4. IV Executive summary The main theme of this project is to boost our knowledge about the banking system of our country as well as the foreign ones. Research for this report included a review of current literature on web-based banking and interviews with two experienced bankers The major findings indicate that the banking expertise & excellence of standard chartered bank is highly contemporary while some aspects need intense attention like brand-building, change in the marketing highlightment, making the Branch Self-Informative, making the information more accessible. Now it is crystal clear that the banking practice of different banks available in our country varies in many aspects like product policy, marketing strategy, technology. Standard chartered bank is also different but exclusive. It may be more leading in position by enhancing the social responsibility involvement like providing scholarships to the poor and meritorious students, contributing in socio-infrastructural development, extending aid to disaster stricken people, expanding the branches throughout the world.

Standard Chartered PLC is listed on the London and Hong Kong stock exchanges as well as the Bombay and National Stock Exchanges in Bangladesh. It is committed to building a sustainable business over the long term and upholding high standards of corporate governance, social responsibility, environmental protection and employee diversity. The Standard Chartered Bank opened its operation in Chittagong in 1947 which, at that time was the eastern region of the newly created Pakistan. The branch opened mainly to facilitate the post war re-establishment and expansion in South East Asia. The bank opened its first branch in Dhaka in 1966 and shifted it‘s headquarter from Chittagong to Dhaka after the birth of the Republic of Bangladesh in 1971. The bank increasingly invested in people, technology and premises as its business grew in relation to the country‘s thriving economy. SCB acquired ANZ Grind lays Bank for 1.34 billion dollars in the year 2000. The new venture that is the merger was named as Standard Chartered Grindlays Bank. Now after the takeover it is known as Standard Chartered Bank. Recently it also has acquired AMEX bank and has grown even more in strength and size as well as customer base.

They were originally known as the ―Standard Bank‖ of British South Africa and the ―Chartered Bank‖ of India, Australia and China. Of the two banks, the ―Chartered Bank‖ was established by Royal Charter from Queen Victoria in 1853. The key person behind the Chartered Bank was a Scot, James Wilson. He started ―The Economist‖, which is still one of the world‘s pre-eminent publications and during his early days he also made his fortune in London making hats. He visualized the advantages of financing the growing trade links with the areas in the east, where none of the other financial institutions were present at that time and as such the Chartered Bank opened two branches in 1858 in Chennai and Mumbai. The same year the bank opened another branch in Shanghai. The following year the Chartered Bank opened a branch in Hong Kong and an agency in Singapore. In 1861 the Singapore agency was upgraded to a branch which in turn financed the rapidly developing rubber and tin industries in Malaysia. In 1862 the Chartered Bank was authorized to issue bank notes in Hong Kong. Subsequently it was also authorized to issue bank notes in Singapore, a privilege it continued to exercise up until the end of the 19th Century. On the other hand, the ―Standard Bank‖ was founded by Scot, John Paterson in 1862. He immigrated to the Cape Province in South Africa and very soon he became a successful merchant there. He also visualized the great trading possibilities between Europe and his adopted country.3
  • 12. 4 From the very beginning both the banks were keen to capitalize on the huge expansion of trade between Europe, Asia and Africa and to reap the handsome profits to be made from financing that trade and for that they expanded and prospered with time and decided to merge in 1969. After the merger the new shares of the Standard and Chartered Banking Group Limited were listed in the London Stock Exchange on January 30th, 1970. Although the two banks merged in 1969, but their operations were being executed from two different headquarters, until on June 1980, the original building of the Chartered Bank was demolished and a new headquarter of the Standard Chartered Bank PLC was opened on March 20th, 1986. Right after the merger the bank experienced continuous growth and expansion in United States and Europe, which led the bank to be one of the top 100 listed banks in the world. Moreover, it was also judged the best bank in the Asia-Pacific region in 1993 and 1994 for its excellent service and growth rate as well. The Standard Bank was founded in the Cape Province of South Africa in 1862 by John Paterson, and started business in Port Elizabeth in the following year. The bank was prominent in financing the development of the diamond fields of Kimberley from 1867. It later extended its network further north to the new town of Johannesburg when gold was discovered there in 1885.The bank expanded in Southern, Central and Eastern Africa and had 600 offices by 1953. In 1965, it merged with the Bank of West Africa, expanding its operations into Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. In 1987 Standard Chartered Bank sold its stake in the Standard Bank, which now operates as a separate entity. 1.2 Strategy of Standard Chartered Bank We aspire to be the world's best international bank, leading the way in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Foreign bank branches in Bangladesh finance trade through their global networks. All commercial banks including Standard Chartered face stiff restriction on the use of both their assets and liabilities. Forty per cent of loan must be directed to ―priority sectors‖ and the high liquidity ratio and cash reserve requirements severely limit the availability of deposits for lending. Since July 1993, foreign banks like Standard Chartered have been requiring to make 32 percent of their loans to the priority sector. Within the target of 32 percent, two sub targets for loans to the small scale sectors (minimum of 10 percent) and exports (minimum of 12 percent)have been fixed. Foreign banks, however, are not required to open branches in rural areas, or to make loans to the agricultural sector.
  • 114. VII RECOMMENDATIONS/ SUGGESTIONS 1.STRONG NEEDS OF BRAND BUILDING The bank needs to make a lot of marketing efforts. The level of recognition that may be desired by any brand has not been achieved by Standard Chartered Bank. A lot of noise is made whenever a child is born and as long as that noise is not made the doctors are not sure about life of that child. Same is the case in marketing. Whenever a new branch comes into existence it is necessary that they announce their birth. Here comes the pre-launch exercises, and in similar in the case after the birth, the name has to be taken again. Boast about yourself ,about the strong points that you have over and above your competitors. Pull the customers towards you. As said earlier it is a relationship of trust and this trust can be generated through the better and better performance of the bank. Now as working with the bank for some time the fact have come out that they believe in low costing and want to keep low profile. So better way of marketing can be sought which are low of cost. These are discussed further Promotional strategies Press publicity:  Paper inserts  Advertisements in newspaper (local and national)  Interest cards distribution  Mailers/personal invitations to selective section of society  Leaflets Outdoor publicity  Banners in commercial areas and prime sites  Air balloons at shopping complexes  Bus stand shelters  Off-site ATM for developing business  Advertisements on dividers and railings Media  Local channel advertisements (cable TV scrolls)  Advertisements in news and business channels
  • 115. VIII Face to face  Through personal interaction of marketing executives.  Meeting  Detailing about schemes and updating them from timeto time  Events sponsoring in local clubs and social gathering  Road shows  Contacting senior citizens in parks in morning and evening  Contacting office goers in the morning and evening at stop lights by distribution of interest cards. Advertisements strategies segmented according to the target customer Senior citizens, housewives, students, service class  Personal mailers  Contacting at parks during morning and evening walk  Contacting at stop lights  Road shows at market side  Cable TV advertisements during prime time  Stick on the newspaper  Leaflet on the wiper of the vehicles in the parking slots Educational bodies  Sponsoring events in schools and colleges  Meeting the top management for opening salary account and fee payment system of the students Local clubs like young clubs, laughter club, senior citizen club, ladies club, etc.  Event sponsoring  Temporary banners  Advertisements in club magazines  Opening of extension counters (in case of large clubs)
  • 116. IX Commercial places and market establishment  Cold calling  Personal visits of the executives 2.NEED A CHANGE IN MARKETING FOCUS The marketing team of the branch has until now focused on selling of their most competitive product, which are there fixed deposits. The rates of interest, which they provide on fixed deposits, are really competitive and highest in the market. But this strategy could not be held for a longer period of time as in the long run it would become liability to the bank to pay such high rate of interest and it would lower the revenues of the branch. Even the survey conducted proved that the fastest selling product is savings account amongst the consumer. With a network that is good enough this bank can make efforts to increase the market share in the area where the competition is so tough. This needs a brain storming from the top management in the branch as to how about fixing the targets in each category of accounts. Solid network required to develop the business further If we see the results of the survey, it is evident that people prefer strong network system to make their banking life as comfortable and reachable as possible. For Standard Chartered bank to enjoy a good customer base they should make efforts towards developing more and more ATM in the cities and extension counters to facilitate better and fast service. Updating of technology from time to time is very necessary. Standard Chartered bank was the very first bank to start few of the very good services like internet banking, bringing about new services to attract more and more consumers should carry on this tradition further. Corrective positioning of Standard Chartered bank Standard Chartered bank is known for its corporate operations. Very big names in the corporate world have their account with the bank. For the past so many years it has been catering to these clients only and has generated an image of being a corporate bank. The product extension into the retail segment need separate focus and separate positioning in the market. The bank cannot carry on its old image for both segment of market. For this a distinctive advertising campaign has to be developed (refer to the promotional activities stated earlier) to reposition the brand in potential consumer‘s mind. It should be noted that both the type of clients differ from each other in their true nature. One is a very low profile relationship, which talks about masses. This type of client requires assurance, trust, information and support. This is retail banking. While on the other hand the second type of relationship is stronger, which is the corporate client that requires different setup all together. 3.MAKE THE BRANCH SELF-INFORMATIVE The branch should be decorated in the manner, which would provide maximum information to the customer without any difficulty. All the schemes and product, all the
  • 117. X service charges, days and time of transaction should be printed in a beautiful manner and hanged on the walls of the branch where customer can see with ease. This was one of the things, which was found to be absent in this branch.
