Smartlink’s system has over 5,000 ATMs and more than 20,000 points of sale nationwide.
Holders of Standard Chartered Bank, a debit card issued by the bank, can now use it at member hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets nationwide including Big C, Co.op Mart, Maximart, Metro, Citimart, and others.
From the early 1990s, Standard Chartered has focused on developing its strong franchises in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. It has concentrated on consumer, corporate and institutional banking and on the provision of treasury services - areas in which the Group had particular strength and expertise.
