Introduction
|
On September 18, 2007, the UK-based Standard Chartered Bank (StanChart) entered into an agreement with American Express Company (American Express) to acquire its international subsidiary, the Miami, US-based American Express Bank (AEB), for about US$ 860 million, subject to regulatory approvals. Analysts were of the view that the acquisition would enhance Standard Chartered's businesses by adding scale, capability, and much needed momentum in two of its strategically important and highly profitable businesses
- clearing and private banking. In the case of the clearing business, the acquisition was expected to catapult StanChart from the eighth largest player in the world to the sixth largest player by doubling its dollar clearing business4.
