Standard Chartered Bank hosted a focused client event in Karachi for members of the North Karachi Association of Trade and Industry (NKATI), a key trade body representing one of the city\u2019s most important SME and industrial business communities.<\/p>\n

The event was held to strengthen engagement with NKATI members, support the onboarding of new SME clients, and further expand the Bank\u2019s foreign exchange relationships with businesses seeking to grow their cross-border trade and treasury capabilities.
