We are honored to announce that Standard Bank has retained the number one spot in the annual Sunday Times Top Brands award for Retail Banking.
The ranking is particularly important to us because this award is voted for by South Africans, our customers, who have kept us at the top with their belief in us as a strong South African brand. This is proof that we’re creating meaningful connections with you, our customers and contributing positively to your life.
Winning top spot last year for the first time since 2009 was a huge motivator for our employees, who truly understand the critical role our brand plays in the banking industry and development of our country. Our employees are the face of the bank and a reflection of the value we have created in delivering improved customer service, and we thank each of you for putting our customers at the heart of everything you do. Congratulations, too, on realising the fruit of your labour – your hard work has helped make the Standard Bank brand top of mind for many South Africans and we couldn’t have done it without you.
The Sunday Times Top Brand award shows strong support of our sustained commitment to making banking and financial investment easier to navigate and to develop products that add real value to your lives. We pledge to continue upgrading our services, seeking out innovative new products and investing in South Africa. Successful South Africans make a prosperous South Africa, and we believe that our customer’s success is our success.
Thank you, dear customers, for your vote of confidence. Together we move forward. We will be by your side every step of the way.
