Standard Chartered has announced plans to set up a new global business services hub in Warsaw, Poland.

The bank will transfer its Standard Chartered Global Business Service Sp z o.o. to Warsaw that will include bank’s Global Business Services (GBS) function and joins a network of GBS centres in China, India and Malaysia.

These units are involved in managing complex, large scale, cross-border activities such as technology and finance services, cyber security, and banking operations.

Rowena Everson, who is currently managing director and head of business support, risk and governance of Europe, has been promoted to the role of CEO of Standard Chartered Global Business Services Sp z o.o.

Standard Chartered COO of Europe and Americas Stephen Sheridan said: “We’re pleased to have submitted our application to open a new, highly skilled service centre in Poland.

“As the Bank increases its focus on clients based in Europe and the Americas, we believe it has become essential to create a western hub that can support them fully in a more beneficial time zone.”
