At Standard Bank Group we use various online social platforms to add value to the lives of people. We invite you to join in and contribute to various conversations. We operate in various countries, offer a broad spectrum of financial solutions and have interests in many issues. As such, we use various online social platforms to host communities of interest.
At the highest level we have our communities that span nationalities. We call them “Global Communities”. We then have “Country Communities” and then “Specialist Communities”.
They each serve a slightly different purpose. Please do take some time to find and join in on the conversations in any one of these communities. Some of the countries in which we operate are not yet active in social but do feel free to chat to us via one of the Global Communities that may interest you.
Here is a quick guide to the various communities and profiles.
