Brand management

   
 

Brand strategy

Standard Bank’s branding represents more than just a logo, it is our commitment to our customers and the base on which we build relationships.

In March 2004, we consolidated a number of our brands, that had become recognisable household names, under a single Standard Bank brand. Research showed that the Standard Bank brand is a respected and recognised brand in South Africa and internationally. Our research also confirmed that our customers, whether individual or corporate, associated readily with the Standard Bank name, identity and the brand’s intrinsic characteristics.

Compliance with industry standards

We maintain strict compliance mechanisms to ensure applicable regulations, standards and voluntary codes are upheld through our advertising, marketing and brand application. Some of these regulations, standards and voluntary codes include the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the Lotteries Act and the Direct Marketing Association.
