Standard Chartered launches limited edition commemorative credit card

Standard Chartered is marking the 50th year of Bangladesh's independence with a limited edition Standard Chartered Platinum Credit Card. The bank will donate funds to the Liberation War Museum for every card activated, and cardholders will be entitled to have their names registered in the list of the Museum's donors and enjoy other exclusive privileges.

The issuance of the commemorative credit card is a celebration of national independence and the achievements made during 50 years of independent Bangladesh, said a statement.
Standard Chartered had commissioned Dhaka Yeah to design the limited-edition credit card artwork. The artist's portrayal of Bangladesh's national pride-the Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat, the Sundarbans-is a symbolic representation of the nation's resilience and fierce determination to rise above all adversities and march forward.
Naser Ezaz Bijoy, Chief Executive Officer, Standard Chartered Bangladesh, said, "The commemorative card is an expression of our gratitude, solidarity and pride in the historic achievements of the countless freedom fighters, whose selfless sacrifice made possible the dream of Bangladesh. We are grateful to be able to partner with the Liberation War Museum, an institution which is playing an indispensable role in preserving the memories of both the human tragedies and heroism of our Liberation War and its ideals."
He added, "The Royal Bengal Tiger depicted in the Card embodies the spirit of Bangladesh: determined, independent and resilient. This is the spirit that see us poised to make the great leap forward-just like the tiger in the illustration-defeating the adversities of the pandemic. As we continue to face the first global pandemic of the digital age, our professional and personal lives have changed drastically, creating new habits and needs. At Standard Chartered, we have been working closely with our clients, regulators and stakeholders to harness the power and potential of digital technologies and credit cards, so that we can offer greater convenience to our clients in these unprecedented circumstances."
