People's passions underlie our sponsorships
Standard Bank Team

Sponsorships often make it possible for an event to take place. It sometimes also cuts the cost of attending an event, even makes it possible for people to participate free or at a lower cost. A sponsorship may even make it possible for the excitement of an event to be shared with a larger audience through TV, radio or online.

Like any other business, we consider carefully what sponsorships we choose to take on. Besides helping us build our brand, Standard Bank Group considers what people in our various market segments are passionate about. We also consider opportunities for development.

Currently, we look at initiatives that support community upliftment, the arts and sport. Sponsorships vary from country to country.

A major pan-African sponsorship is football and Standard Bank Group has a deal in place with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on many of its events until 2016. Our decision to partner with CAF was driven by our growing presence on the African continent.

Our commitment to arts and culture is wide-ranging and includes a gallery in Johannesburg, South Africa, jazz festivals in Zambia, young artist exhibitions in South Africa and Namibia, and research into the origins of mankind.

Watch out for an event sponsored by your local Standard Bank or Stanbic Bank.
