The group is also active in digital initiatives, such as cross-border e-CNY transfer services via its China subsidiary, aiming to capture new transaction flows and support renminbi internationalization. These projects are presented as longer-term growth drivers rather than short-term earnings levers.
How the company makes money
Standard Chartered's core income streams are net interest income from lending and deposit-taking, plus fee income from trade finance, wealth products and transaction banking. The bank focuses on corporate clients, affluent retail customers and financial institutions across its footprint markets.
