    INTERNATIONAL banking is increasingly becoming a key driver for Standard Chartered Bank’s affluent business, as more clients look for wealth offerings outside of their home jurisdictions, said James Lye, StanChart’s global head of international banking.

    “Increasingly, (clients’ needs and our international corridors) play a part in driving where our growth is,” Lye said on Wednesday (Jun 5).

    StanChart’s international banking proposition is part of its wider strategy to grow its affluent client business and in the wealth management space.
