Standard Lesotho Bank Limited - Maseru - Lesotho

Standard Lesotho Bank is the largest bank in Lesotho in terms of asserts and market share.

Standard Bank Group’s roots in Lesotho date back to 1995 when the Group acquired Barclays Bank Plc to form a new entity called Standard Bank Lesotho. In 1999, Standard Bank Group and the Government of Lesotho entered into an agreement wherein the former would manage the then Lesotho Bank Limited. Eventually an agreement was concluded to establish a new company later known as Lesotho Bank 1999 Limited with the shareholders being Standard Bank Group, Lesotho Unit Trust and the Government of Lesotho.

In July 2006, the two banks agreed on a merger to form Standard Lesotho Bank Limited as we know it today, which is jointly owned by the Government of Lesotho, Lesotho Unit Trust and Standard Bank Group.

Firmly rooted within our people, we are the only bank that has presence in all the districts of Lesotho with a total of 19 branches in the country. Standard Lesotho Bank’s ATM network extends throughout the lowlands and highlands of Lesotho with 83 ATM machines currently installed in the Mountain Kingdom.

Our bank provides a range of solutions for personal and business banking, corporate as well as investment banking. From these offerings, we have a range of products for the personal market, loan facilities, investment options and even global market trading.
