2 Hasan Khan Group Head Africa s growth continues to deepen the continent s integration with the global economy. Business activity within, across, into and out of the continent is increasing rapidly. Individuals, small businesses, local and regional corporations, NGOs, municipalities, governments, and multi-nationals, require a banking partner: with the experience and capability to seamlessly support the full range of their transactional, working capital, investor services and risk mitigation requirements to maximise opportunity and drive growth. Our clients do not see their cash, trade and investor services needs as separate functions. As such, Standard Bank s transactional products and services offering is based on requirements from a client perspective. As Africa s economies and businesses evolve and deepen their integration with the global economy they will require various combinations of our capabilities in greater volumes, delivered in increasingly sophisticated and globally-aligned formats.

3 Vinod Madhavan Group Head: Trade We acknowledge that Africa s businesses require seamless banking propositions to enable them to realise African opportunity despite the very real challenges and threats that the continent presents. Our clients strive to achieve a universal view of payments across the business in real time. We are passionate about innovation, and Standard Bank can therefore provide both the physical and technological network and systems in place domestically, inter-continentally and globally, comprehensive detailed and holistic payment information in real time. The ease and speed of moving money between (and out of) countries in Africa is a challenge some clients face. Standard Bank s physical presence, including people on the ground with insight into each jurisdictions procedures and systems, backed by universal technology platforms providing cash information in real time across multiple jurisdictions helps clients move and track money across territories and currencies.

4 Rob Cleasby Group Head: Financial Institutions Africa s positive long-term growth drivers are being supported by Africa s improving legislative, political and social developments. These are expected to sustain growth in the present while positioning Africa for even higher levels of growth as the global environment improves. Our deep relationships with legislators across the continent is supporting the evolution of rational, business-friendly and globally-compliant legislation. This is reducing legislative risk and uncertainty for clients on the continent. Read more about our Financial Institutions capabilities.

This is reflected in the growth of equity and debt capital raising by African corporates in the region and globally. Standard Bank s understanding of where clients are in their investment life cycle along with the bank s on the ground presence across the continent enables local and global investors to access and maximise growth opportunities.
