Standard Chartered
At a Glance
A unique, internationally focused banking group with deep, historic roots across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, managed from its central hub in London.
Typical Lending Profile
Cross-border structured credit, multi-currency Lombard lending, and prime UK real estate financing specifically for international non-resident clients.
Where they may be a good fit
Emerging Market Nationals & Expats: Ultra-high-net-worth individuals based across Asian, African, or Middle Eastern capital corridors investing in the UK.
Global Non-Residents: Expats and international citizens requiring a stable London banking base to coordinate multi-jurisdictional assets.
Foreign Corporate Founders: International business owners looking to extract or leverage liquidity from overseas trading companies.
Approach to Private Banking
An international footprint model focused on capital corridors. Credit is structured to facilitate global investment mobility and wealth diversification into stable western assets.
Pavilion's View
They are an invaluable institutional partner for international capital. While non-resident wealth from emerging markets can present risk considerations that fall outside the appetite of some UK private banks, their global infrastructure and international expertise make them particularly well equipped to understand, assess and underwrite these more complex profiles.
