Transaction banking boosts profits at Standard Chartered

London-listed Standard Chartered has reported a jump in profits in the third quarter of the year from the same period in 2016, as a 20% rise in transaction banking revenues helped offset relatively flat investment banking income.

Group revenues of $3.6bn in the third quarter were 4% higher than a year earlier, the bank said in its interim management statement today. Underlying pre-tax profits of $814m were up 78%.
