LSEG and Standard Chartered have entered into a new multi-year strategic collaboration aimed at expanding the Bank’s enterprise-wide access to multi-asset data, news, and analytics.
Under the agreement, Standard Chartered will implement LSEG’s data, news, and analytics solutions across its global operations, supported by consistent rights management and streamlined delivery frameworks. The initiative is designed to strengthen the Bank’s operating model by consolidating market data access, enhancing catalogue transparency and data lineage, and simplifying governance and entitlement processes.
LSEG delivers financial markets infrastructure, data services, analytics, and risk solutions to institutions worldwide. Its portfolio spans multi-asset data, news, analytics, and distribution channels, including feeds, APIs, and cloud-based platforms. Through this partnership, Standard Chartered will benefit from comprehensive multi-asset coverage combined with transparent usage rights and flexible distribution capabilities, enabling the Bank to standardise internal data access and management practices.
Operating across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, Standard Chartered provides banking services to corporates, financial institutions, and affluent clients. Within its corporate and investment banking division, access to accurate, well-governed data is critical to supporting trading, risk management, finance, and client service functions. By unifying market data access under a single framework, the Bank aims to reduce operational complexity while strengthening controls and auditability.
The collaboration brings together two global financial institutions to enhance governance, oversight, and regulatory compliance. It will support integrated front-to-back workflows across markets, risk, finance, and wealth management functions. As a result, Standard Chartered expects to improve operational efficiency and deliver more consistent, data-driven client outcomes.
The partnership underscores the growing importance of enterprise-wide data strategies in global banking, as institutions continue to modernise infrastructure, improve transparency around data usage rights, and strengthen entitlement management frameworks.
