The Spirit of Exploration

It was an immersive evening reflective of the bank's unique private banking philosophy, one that celebrates the spirit of exploration

At the heart of every exploration lies a lesson. While the world can be frightening and unpredictable at times, venturing into the unknown can lead to extraordinary achievements. Standard Chartered approaches private banking with a spirit of expedition-a journey that started over 160 years ago, from operating out of tents in South Africa to facilitating trade throughout Asia, that now leads to being established in 53 markets across the world.

That's the lesson behind Standard Chartered's "A Night of Explorations", an exclusive event that took place at the National Gallery Singapore on October 19.

Guests were invited to navigate and journey with Tatler Singapore and Standard Chartered into an experience inspired by lights and colours of the sky, stars and space. The night placed the spotlight on some of the world's most acclaimed explorers, pairing fine dining with a series of inspirational fireside chats, celebrating those who embody the same pioneering instinct as the early years of the bank.
