The launch of our Debit Card offers our customers and clients greater payment and cash management solutions for their everyday needs. Standard Chartered continues to be a leading international bank in Brunei and we remain committed to serving our clients and stakeholders.”

Ooi Huey Tyng, Visa Country Manager for Singapore and Brunei, said in her speech, “In Brunei, we have seen double digit per cent growth month-on-month for Visa payWave transactions as of January 2017. We will continue working closely with our bank issuers and partners to create relevant products and services that benefit our cardholders in Brunei and push the country towards becoming a cashless society.”
