Frequently asked questions
In which African countries does Standard Bank provide operational custody?
Standard Bank Group operates in 20 African countries beyond South Africa, including Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. Its investor services custody coverage generally mirrors this footprint, though the exact product availability per market depends on local securities legislation and depository membership. For family offices entering smaller African markets, Standard Bank often acts as the sub-custodian to a global custodian like BNY Mellon or Northern Trust.
Does Standard Bank publish any dedicated family-office research or market intelligence?
The bank publishes macroeconomic research and sector reports through its Global Markets and Corporate and Investment Banking research teams, distributed to institutional clients. It does not maintain a publicly branded family-office research unit. However, the bank's country-level trade and regulatory briefs, particularly on South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya, are frequently cited by family offices operating in those markets.
