Standard Chartered has hired Ole Matthiessen as global head, Transaction Services and Digital Assets.
Matthiessen will lead a newly unified team in Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) comprising transaction banking — trade, payments, and cash management — and financing and securities services — custody, clearing, and settlement — along with CIB’s fast-growing digital asset capabilities, says the bank.
According to the CIB, Matthiessen brings extensive expertise across a broad spectrum of financial products, spanning transaction banking and derivatives through to structured lending solutions and capital markets.
He joins after 18 years at Deutsche Bank, where he most recently served as co-head of the Corporate Bank division and a member of the Group Management Committee.
Over the course of his career, he has held a range of regional and global leadership roles across Transaction Banking, Markets, Financing, and Corporate Banking.
Matthiessen will be based in Singapore and join the CIB Management Team, reporting to Roberto Hoornweg, CEO of CIB.
Commenting on his appointment, Hoornweg says: “Ole is a fantastic addition to the team as we harness the convergence between Transaction Banking and Financing & Securities Services, and between TradFi and DeFi.
“Integrating these solutions in a unified financial ecosystem with our fast-growing digital asset capabilities will further accelerate our ability to provide a world-class cross-border experience for our corporate and financial institution clients.”
