CEO of the Bank Naser Ezaz Bijoy said, “The Bangladesh economy is at an inflection point, where it can achieve an even higher growth trajectory. Our export-oriented industries will have a critical role to play in realizing this potential. With the inauguration of this office at Uttara EPZ, we are improving coverage of a vital export processing zone. It is very impressive to personally experience the significance of Uttara EPZ in the development of the region.

Standard Chartered Bank has been playing a pioneering role in facilitating foreign trade in Bangladesh. One of the earliest milestones in its unique relationship with sovereign Bangladesh, was when the Bank issued the sovereign nation’s very first ‘letter of credit’. It also established meaningful relationships with the EPZ clients by introducing the first offshore banking facility in Dhaka EPZ back in 1994.
