Leading the way in combating financial crime.


#2 = Health $21.8 billion #3 = IT Services $19.3 billion

$2.1 trillionFinancial crime is the most profitable industry in the world. It’s also the most damaging.


Financial crime is funding terrorist activities and fueling drug epidemics world-wide. It’s contributing to the extinction of whole species of animals. It’s supporting human trafficking and proliferating weapons of mass destruction. Financial crime in the 21st century is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.

Financial crime is pervasive in the 21st century.


The cost of failure is high.For all of us. Countries, companies, and individuals alike suffer from the impact of financial crime.


Financial criminals may see banks as a vital link in their activities. But we won’t play that part. Instead we want to use our position to fight financial crime. And do anything that we can to put a stop to it. That’s why we’ve more than doubled the size of our Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) team.

At Standard Chartered,we refuse to let financial crime thrive.


“To be the world’s leading international bank, we need to protect the communities that we serve from the damaging effects of financial crime.”John Cusack, Global Head, FCC


Drug trafficking has indirectly contributed to a steep increase in HIV/AIDS in South Asia.

By bringing the price of drugs down, drug trafficking has encouraged an increase in intravenous drug users. More than 60% of new cases of HIV/AIDS are being contracted through the sharing of needles.

Counterfeit lifesaving medications account for 10% of global supply.

The people who are producing these drugs couldn’t care less about their impact. And the terminally ill are the ones being adversely effected.

Human trafficking has turned 27 million people into slaves around the world.

13 million of these are children, representing half of the victims of human trafficking. To put that into perspective, Mumbai, one of India’s most populous cities is home to the same number of people.

Drug trafficking is creating a generation of unskilled, unemployed and unproductive citizens in West Africa.

The seemingly lucrative prospects of drug trafficking for marginalised youth is creating a “get-rich-quick-mentality’ that undermines education and weakens the labour force.


Here for good defines us and acts as our compass. It helps us to make the right decisions. It challenges us to think twice, double check and look again. We know that we can live up to being Here for good every day as long as we do it together.

The duty that we all feel, to do what is right, is what makes us Here for good.


“Our vision is to lead the way in the fight against financial crime.”David Howes, Deputy Head, FCC

Crime Intelligence Operations (FCIO)

Became Team Lead in FCIO

I’ve been in this field for almost 12 years. It’s demanding, challenging and intense but I love the work I do. Fact-finding and investigation are two of my passions. It’s always interesting to dig deeper into a suspicion case. Things are not always what they seem on the surface and I get a real sense of satisfaction in discovering the full picture.

Since joining I have always been in Financial Crime Investigation Operations. Everyday I’m reviewing and investigating suspicious transactions. During the last 18 months my career has progressed to leading a team. When I first joined I was compiling reports and looking at 3-4 cases per day. Now I’m responsible for reviewing 40+ cases each day. There’s a lot of opportunity to grow and develop.

“Financial Crime Compliance is a challenging environment where I can learn and grow my career”

Investigating a day in the life of...

Family is important to me and working at Standard Chartered allows me to do what I am passionate about as well as making time outside of work to spend with my loved ones. You don’t need a background in banking to succeed here. If you’re eager to learn, meticulous and have the mind of a detective then a job in Financial Crime Compliance could be a good career for you.

The work that I do in FCC directly prevents human trafficking and many of the victims in this crime are children. Children as young as mine. That’s one of the reasons why I get up each day and do what I do. We have a part to play. To play in detecting, reporting, fighting and stopping Financial Crime. It’s a social and personal reason that drives me every day.

FCC is a space that’s constantly moving, no two days are the same. As technology keeps breaking boundaries we have the ability to be more sophisticated in pulling together different data points and analytics to see the bigger picture.

At Standard Chartered we are leading the way in FCC, not following. We are creating new standards for the industry using our brand promise, Here for good, as our compass. We constantly ask ourselves, ‘should we’ not ‘can we’.

Our work is heavily focused on our clients. We monitor the types of transactions that are taking place, the currencies they are dealing with and the materials they are trading. Decisions are then made on whether we exit these clients, retain them or set conditions. It’s a tough job and a lot of the work we do is based on subjective judgement. It’s never black and white. And that’s what keeps me excited.

Working in Financial Crime Compliance at Standard Chartered has allowed me to pursue my passion. The infrastructure is in place to set us up for success and I have the support and resources around me to do quality work. It’s not a one-man show; we have the best people driving the agenda in country, regionally and at a global level. We are engaging regulators and policy makers. We are influencing the industry. We intend to be the market leaders.

Financial Crime Compliance is an exciting industry. My day can change instantly depending on world events so I have to be on point every minute of every day. My eye for detail helps me stay on top of things and the belief I have in fighting financial crime keeps me going. I know I’m making a difference and that’s why I love this job.

Passion drives me every day. Passion to protect my country, my children and the economy. My journey in Financial Crime Compliance has been a personal one. Earlier in my career I was exposed to what could go wrong in financial markets and I saw how financial crime had an impact not just on financial institutions but society at large. Bribery and corruption locks people out of opportunities. We need to deal with this now. Before it’s too late.

“There’s no place for complacency in this industry.Change is the only constant.”


Arun Gopinath - Team Lead, Senior CDD Advisor, South Asia

Everyday we run checks on new and existing clients. We have systems in place that call out clients we need to review. We scrutinise, do our due diligence, run searchesand analyse every document we have. We consider the client as a whole including aspects such as political involvement and media exposure. We ask ourselves not just “Are we compliant with local regulations and Group standards?” But whether everything makes sense and adds up, if it doesn’t we look again and reconsider. We are the Gatekeepers. We safeguard the Bank.

Financial Crime Compliance is rapidly becoming a priority for every bank. I’ve witnessed the business become more aware of the impact of what we do. We have a big responsibility and are accountable not just for what we do as a Bank but for the clients we represent. We aim to lead the way.

My advice to anyone considering a career in Financial Crime Compliance at Standard Chartered is to grab the opportunities that are available. This is a place to learn and grow. In my six years at the Bank I have learnt that this is an organisation that doesn’t restrict you to your field of specialisation. My role has expanded across departments and geographies. It’s an exciting place to be.


We are fightingagainst financial crime.
