Standard Chartered Korea (officially Standard Chartered Bank Korea Limited, formerly SC First Bank, Hangul: SC제일은행) is a banking and financial services company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea and a wholly owned subsidiary of Standard Chartered. It was created by the acquisition of the former Korea First Bank by Standard Chartered in 2005.

History

[edit]

By the 1990s, Korea First Bank had become one of the five largest commercial banks in South Korea, together with Chohung Bank, Korea Commercial Bank, Hanil Bank, and Seoul Bank.[1] It fell into financial trouble during the 1997 Asian financial crisis.[2] It was acquired by Standard Chartered in 2005.[3]
