The exhibition “A Flowing Narrative” marks the beginning of a planned series of bespoke lifestyle experiences designed for Standard Chartered’s priority clients. Beyond an art showcase, it served as a platform for dialogue among art enthusiasts, collectors, and the business community, inviting clients to explore the journey of Vietnamese fine art.

Exhibition attendees commented that Standard Chartered’s use of art created a relaxed space, making conversation more natural than traditional service introductions.
An event participant shared the view that the bank should organize more activities of this nature so customers can better understand how Standard Chartered supports them, not only in personal finance but also in their business operations.
The exhibition and the corresponding lifestyle program series are part of the privileges offered to Standard Chartered’s Priority Customers, in addition to a range of cross-border services and benefits that meet the expanding needs of customers in a globalized context.
Priority clients benefit from the ability to access over 300 Priority Centers worldwide through Global Priority Privileges. The bank also connects clients with its international network, providing elevated lifestyle and banking privileges through a unified digital platform.
This access helps maintain seamless transactions and financial activities when clients travel between countries. Simultaneously, clients receive wealth management advice from a team of dedicated Priority Banking Relationship Managers, who specialize in building financial plans and optimizing portfolios.
Financial needs related to studying, traveling, settling, or international money transfers are also supported through the bank’s flexible foreign exchange service.
