STANDARD Chartered (StanChart) aims to double its global mass banking and affluent clients by 2025, with the growth powered in part by the burgeoning wealth in Asia, said a top executive from the bank.

This means a total of 20 million consumer clients - about 16 million mass banking clients and four million affluent customers - in four years' time, with the bank viewing the retail piece as just as critical as serving the high net worth.
