private bank with standard chartered is good personal service, be a little careful about the products that they offer as they are not always the best, but the service is very personal

Standard Chartered just recently unleashed one of the most moving commercials I have seen in over a decade; Usain Bolt recognizing and acknowledging the young up-n-comer in the crowd.WOW! POWERFUL! Planning to open an account with them.

bad experience with Standard Chartered Hong Kong Bank. We had an international wire from customer as usual, and this bank neither credit to our account nor return to customer, and no message from this bank to both ends, the money just like disappeared from this earth. After customer's bank's request, this HK bank replied they held this money for some reason, it was eight days passed! Then we made wire amendment, now it was five days more, we are still waiting. I wish this Hong Kong bank could have basic human sense, its for our staff work pay and daily operating, in urgently need and you Standard Chartered HK bank will not act like cold blood animal!

I was working for Standard Chartered China in Year 2016. I enjoy the working environment there. Now I'm moving to London and still looking for the opportunity from SC.

Very disappointing experience. They kept me waiting for 2 weeks and didn't release our fund. I have been calling them more than 10 times a day for two weeks and everytime they told me it will be resolved in an hours and they will call us back. They never called me back. Also, if you think they are going to reply to your emails, good luck with that one.

Customer service needs some retraining as their telephone manner leaves a lot to be desired if you ask me. I don't have too many qualms with the company but just think the customer care needs to be improved
Trustpilot
Even in this digital age and trying times of a Global Pandemic, they insist you risk your life by visiting their branch for a simple address update. What a shame and complete waste of a bank. Absolutely incompetent in these current times due to lack of technology updates.

I had the worst banking experience in my life with Standard Chartered HK (and I am not over dramatic).Their banking system is like from 80ties and it looks they didn't realise yet that Internet does exist. If you want to do anything they will print a form and fill it with the data from the computer screen in front of them and send it with traditional post. E-mail? Don't know. It takes 30 days for their customer service to reply for an email. In the branch you have to wait ages and if you finally find someone to help you they actually cannot do anything. You have to fill all the forms and wait long time to process the simplest tasks.My favourite is a phone call from a bank asking me for my telephone number 😂Useless.
