"This is a significant achievement and is a culmination of years of hard work by thousands of people at Standard Bank. The active transformation philosophy and strategy that Standard Bank has been pursuing for several years is having a meaningful impact," said Sim Tshabalala, Chief Executive, Standard Bank South Africa.
