Standard Chartered Bank opened a Mortgage Centre

Standard Chartered Bank, one of the leading international banks in the UAE, continues to grow its distribution network with the launch today of the new Emaar Business Park branch, which also incorporates the Bank’s first ever dedicated mortgage centre in the region. The new branch serves to improve and expand consumer banking services for customers.

Managed by a team from 8am to 8pm on all working days, the mortgage centre will allow customers to apply for home finance and enquire about the broad range of Standard Chartered services.

The new, spacious Emaar Business Park branch is open from Saturday to Wednesday 8:00am – 3:30pm and 8:00am – 2:00pm on Thursdays. This new branch provides customers with a full range of services including opening of current, saving and investment accounts; a 24 hour auto lobby for ATM and CDM withdrawals and deposits; and a fully dedicated mortgage centre – the first of its kind for the bank in the UAE.

Emaar Business Park, which also serves as the headquarters of Emaar Properties, is one of the key commercial properties in Dubai, which offers easy access to a large pool of professionals who are based in New Dubai.

The closure of the relatively smaller Dubai Internet City branch and opening of the spacious Emaar Business Park branch marks the tenth Standard Chartered outlet throughout Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the Northern Emirates, making it the largest operator of branches of any international bank in the UAE. The Bank’s ATM network has now also increased to 50 ATMs, up from 22 in 2006, with significant and strategic additions to follow within the next 12 months. Standard Chartered has embarked on a dynamic expansion plan to increase its regional distribution footprint, with the introduction of new distribution channels such as conveniently located mini-branches, news sales & service centres focused on delivering ultimate banking access for all customers, and the Bank’s first mobile ATM – a unique solution to provide customers with banking access at outdoor events across the UAE.
