Commenting on the move, SCB head of retail banking David Idoru said: “At Standard Chartered Bank, our clients remain at the center of everything that we do, which clearly shows in how we develop business segments, products for investments, the markets where we operate in, the entire process of how we deliver value to our clients through engagement platforms such as the SC Mobile app.
“As a Bank, we believe in building long term relationships with our clients, and having the Premium Banking segment enables us to do so more strategically with our clients within this age bracket.”

David added: “As a bank today, we are clearly also focused on driving digital banking across all segments from a convenience perspective which makes delivering value to our clients easier, faster, secured and a lot more efficient.

Last year, SCB rolled out its digital bank in Nigeria along with its SC Mobile 2.0 app. It offers savings and current accounts, fixed deposits, and lending and wealth management solutions for both new and existing bank customers.
The mobile app provides benefits including free interbank transfers, ATM withdrawals, fund transfers, free bank card delivery, account management, service requests, and more.
