London - Standard Chartered has launched a full range of cash management services out of London and Frankfurt covering the UK and Eurozone countries, following its investment in a new cash management infrastructure.

Philip Panaino, Global Head of Cash Management at Standard Chartered said: 'We are offering a wide range of opportunities to existing and new clients, from setting up operating subsidiaries to running regional or global treasury centres, trading centres, or investment arms in Europe. We are not only aiming to serve our European client base, but also our Asia, Africa and Middle East clients who are looking to do more business in to Europe.'

Standard Chartered is also providing solutions for the complex needs of central treasuries, in-house banks, trading centres and billing hubs operated by its clients, including global pooling structures.
