As part of Standard Chartered's commitment to continuously improve its customer's banking experience, the bank recently introduced an '8-minute teller service guarantee' in the UAE. Teller service customers are now guaranteed to be served within an eight minute time frame across six of its branches across the UAE. The pledge will be rolled out to all of its 11 branches by the beginning of 2013. To monitor and track the service pledge, the bank has introduced a new queuing system to its branches. If the pledge is not met, the Bank will donate AED 10 to 'Seeing is Believing', Standard Chartered's global initiative to eliminate avoidable blindness by 2020. Mohammed Al Mazemi, General Manager, Distribution - Middle East for Standard Chartered, said: "Standard Chartered adopts a 'customer focused' approach when providing financial services to individuals.
