Standard Chartered Bank has launched its mobile and online banking platform to 1 million clients across eight African markets. Clients will enjoy a consistent online experience across laptops, tablets or mobile phones, and the convenience of banking from the location of their choice. After the rollout to Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe in the first half of 2016, the bank said it will launch fingerprint recognition technology in these markets later in the year, giving clients a more secure and convenient way to log in to their accounts.
