The country's largest foreign lender Standard Chartered Bank today tied-up with Google to empower the small and medium enterprises (SME) segment.
In keeping with the bank's strategy of constantly striving to meet the evolving needs of its clients, StanChart will actively collaborate with Google to reach out to SMEs to educate them on the benefits of getting online, the bank said in a statement.
