How to Apply to Standard Chartered: What to Prepare
Before you touch the application form, get these ready:
- CV: One to two pages. Education, internships, and measurable results. No photo, no personal details beyond contact info.
- Academic details: Degree, university, expected graduation date.
- Work rights: Check whether the role requires existing work rights for that location. Standard Chartered hires across many jurisdictions, and visa policies differ by market.
- Your "why": One clear reason you want Standard Chartered specifically — not banking in general. This comes up in screening questions and again at every later stage.
How to Apply to Standard Chartered: Step-by-Step Process
1. Find the role on the official careers site. Filter by early careers or graduate roles and by location. Read the full description — requirements differ by division and region.
2. Create a portal profile. Register with a professional email address. Save your login; you will use this portal through the entire process.
3. Complete the online application. Fill in personal details, education, and experience. Answer the screening questions with short, specific answers. Generic statements like "I am passionate about finance" get filtered out.
4. Upload your CV and submit. Review every field before submitting. You cannot edit the application after it is sent.
5. Complete the assessments. If you pass the screen, you will be invited to the Pymetrics games, then the video interview. Our guide to the Standard Chartered Pymetrics and video interview explains what each stage tests and how to prepare.
After You Submit: The 2027 Selection Stages
Standard Chartered's process typically runs in this order:
- 1. Online application
- 2. Pymetrics gamified assessment
- 3. Video interview
- 4. Assessment centre (final round)
- 5. Offer
Start preparing for each stage before the invitation arrives, not after. If you are still choosing a division, read our breakdown of Standard Chartered's 2027 graduate programs and divisions first — applying to the right team matters more than polishing an application to the wrong one.
