Standard Chartered Bank is taking big steps to power Pakistan’s rapidly growing tech industry by offering advanced foreign exchange (FX) solutions that help IT companies expand globally. In a high-impact client event held in Karachi on 17 July 2025, the Bank brought together leading players in the technology and IT-enabled services sector to discuss smarter ways to manage cross-border growth and currency operations.
With Pakistan’s tech exports showing steady promise—from software development to digital back-office services—more companies are now exploring international opportunities. Standard Chartered’s event focused on how tailor-made FX strategies can help local tech firms reduce friction in global transactions and navigate foreign markets with more confidence.
Backed by its presence in over 50 countries, Standard Chartered provides Pakistani businesses with real-time FX execution, deep market insights, and competitive pricing to streamline global operations. Speaking at the event, Saadya Riaz, Head of Wealth and Retail Banking, emphasized the Bank’s commitment: “Technology companies in Pakistan are reaching new international frontiers, and we’re proud to support them with the tools and insights they need to manage global complexity.”
This initiative aligns with the Bank’s wider vision to drive growth in high-potential sectors of Pakistan’s economy. By connecting local innovation with global banking expertise, Standard Chartered is helping unlock new export markets for Pakistan’s thriving IT sector.
