OVERVIEW

What is Portfolio View?
Portfolio View is a complimentary service available exclusively to clients of The Standard Chartered Private Bank. This service lets registered clients and their Private Bankers track and monitor their Private Bank portfolio information as of the previous day’s close of business, including balances, positions and transaction activity, and also view and print current portfolio information or official client statements.

What is Messaging?
Clients who enrol for Portfolio View also receive access to the Message Centre, which allows clients and their Private Bankers to send and receive messages in a highly secure manner. Use Messaging to send a note to your Private Banker requesting a meeting or for more information about an investment product. Or send a secure message, in place of a fax, to confirm a verbal transaction request.

Who can enrol in Portfolio View & Messaging?
We are pleased to make this complimentary service available to clients of The Standard Chartered Private Bank in select Investment Centres. Please contact your Private Banker if you have any questions regarding enrolment.

Do I need any special hardware or software?
In addition to a PC and Internet connection, you need a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher) that must support 128-bit encryption. For more about secure encryption, see your browser’s Help screen.

 

REGISTERING

How do I register for Portfolio View & Messaging?
To register, simply follow these steps:

1. Visit The Standard Chartered Private Bank Web site and click "Portfolio View & Messaging"
2. Click "Register"
3. Read User Agreement and click "Accept"
4. Create User ID & Password
5. Online Registration – Input the Client Number (CIF Number) you wish to register, your Investment Centre and Private Banker's name and click "Continue"
6. Print the User Agreement Signature Page and send it to your Investment Centre
7. You will be able to access Portfolio View after we receive and validate your signature

Once you have completed the initial registration, you will be able to register up to five additional Client Numbers, and have them all linked to your User ID and Password. You will need to complete steps 5-7 above for each supplemental Client Number you wish to register. For help with registration, contact your Private Banker.

How do I enrol to use the "original instruction message" feature of Messaging?
During your initial enrolment, you should sign the appropriate section of the User Agreement Signature Page. Once your signature is verified, your account will be activated for this feature of the Messaging service. If you have already enrolled, simply complete this section of the User Agreement and return it to your Private Banker.

When you use the original instruction message feature to send an instruction, such as a request for a wire transfer payment, you are requesting The Standard Chartered Private Bank to accept your instruction as being duly signed and authorised by the individual who registered for the User ID and Password and whose account(s) are linked to the User ID and Password, and certifying to The Standard Chartered Private Bank that you have not shared your User ID and Password with anyone else. You accept full responsibility for The Standard Chartered Private Bank relying on your instruction sent as an original message and you agree that The Standard Chartered Private Bank has no responsibility for any claims that may result if your original instruction message request is delayed or rejected by The Standard Chartered Private Bank. Please read the appropriate section of the User Agreement carefully before deciding to enrol for this feature.

Do I have to enrol in the "original instruction message" feature?
No. The original instruction message feature is optional. If you do not have this feature you can still use Messaging to communicate securely with your Private Banker over the Internet and it is appropriate for sending and receiving material that should not be sent via ordinary email and/or for confirming a verbal transaction request.

I forgot my User ID. What do I do?
During registration you will be asked to create a User ID. For security reasons, we do not allow you to change your User ID online. If you forget your User ID, notify your Private Banker who will contact the Investment Centre where your account is maintained. Your Private Banker will then call you, confirm your identity, and let you know your User ID. Your User ID is confidential and should not be shared with anyone.

I forgot my Password. What do I do?
During registration you will be asked to create a Password and, for additional security, to answer a security validation question. If you forget your Password, click here to reset your Password. You will be prompted to select and answer the security validation question you chose during registration. A correct answer will permit you to enter a new Password. If you still can’t gain access, call your Private Banker. Your Password is confidential and should not be shared with anyone.

How do you validate that I registered?
Your Investment Centre must receive a signed copy of the User Agreement Signature Page. Once we verify your signature and speak with you to confirm your enrolment, your service will be activated.

Can I register more than one Client Number?
Yes. Following your initial registration, you can register up to five additional Client Numbers and have them all linked to your Portfolio View & Messaging User ID and Password. You will need to register each Client Number individually, which includes online registration and sending in a User Agreement Signature Page for each new Client Number. If the Client Number you are registering has more than one portfolio (e.g., 12345-2, 12345-3), you will automatically be able to view these portfolios online without additional registration steps.

I have a corporate (company) account that requires multiple signatories. Can I still register?
If one signatory has the authority to issue instructions on behalf of the company – and that individual has signed the User Agreement on behalf of the company – you can register. However, each of the signatories cannot have their own separate User IDs and Passwords.

Your trust company administers a private investment company or trust that I have established. Can I still register?
Yes, you can register as long as you are the settlor/beneficial owner.

I have a joint account and either I or my spouse has signature authority. Can I register?
One individual in the joint account can register as long as that individual signs the User Agreement and inputs his User ID and Password.

I have a joint account and both individuals’ signatures are needed to process a transaction. Can I register?
Yes, you can enrol for Portfolio View & Messaging; however, you will only be able to use Portfolio View not the Messaging service. In addition, a separate Dual Signature User Agreement, which your Private Banker can send you, must also be signed by both parties in addition to the User Agreement Signature Page.

I no longer want to be enrolled. How do I cancel the service?
To cancel the service, you should delete any Client Numbers you have enrolled, beginning with any supplementary Client Numbers you registered. To begin the process of deleting a Client Number from the Portfolio View & Messaging Welcome page, click on "Delete Portfolio" in the Manage Portfolios section. Note that when you delete your primary Client Number you are automatically withdrawn from the service.

 

USING PORTFOLIO VIEW

How does Portfolio View work?
It’s simple. After we validate your initial registration, you can, at any time, log in and access your account information. Once there, you can view or print your daily portfolio information, including recent transactions, or view, print or download your latest official statement. If you registered more than one Client Number, you will be able to view similar information for each Client Number.

How do I access my portfolio information online?
Once your registration is activated, you may Log In using the following steps:

1. Select the "Log In" link from any page on The Standard Chartered Private Bank Web site
2. Enter your User ID and Password and select "Go"
3. From the Welcome page, select account information for the Client Number you wish to view

Can my Private Banker view my portfolio information?
Yes. The system has been designed so you and your Private Banker can view the same information at the same time. This should facilitate discussions about your portfolio and recent transactions. Your Private Banker will, of course, have his or her own unique User ID and Password.

What is the process for FX rate calculations for Portfolio View daily account information updates?
For clients whose accounts are held in
Miami, Geneva, Monaco and UK, FX rates are sourced from Reuters at the start of day in London. For clients whose accounts are held in Singapore, FX rates are sourced from Reuters at the start of day in Singapore.

 

USING MESSAGING

How does Messaging work?
After you log in successfully, we will let you know whether you have any message in your Inbox. You can check your Inbox messages or draft a message to your Private Banker. In addition to a basic message template, we have also created mail or wire payment instruction templates that can be used – similar to a fax –
to confirm a recent verbal instruction given to your Private Banker.

How will I know I have a message in my Inbox?
During registration you have the option of enrolling for email notifications to be sent to your local Internet email address to notify you that you have a message from your Private Banker in your Inbox. Note that email notifications are optional and are provided as a convenience only. Notifications are sent as regular email, which means they could be subject to delays and notifications could, in some instances, arrive several hours after you receive a message in your Inbox. While they do not contain sensitive information, your email address, if obtained by a third party, can be sufficient to identify you as a user of Standard Chartered Bank services. You should carefully evaluate the convenience of receiving email notifications against any privacy concerns you may have.

What is the "original instruction message" feature?
A special feature allowing clients to send an original instruction message (for example, a request for a wire payment) is available to clients who sign the appropriate section of the User Agreement during enrolment. To add this feature after enrolment, simply sign the appropriate section of the User Agreement Signature Page and return it to your Private Banker. Keep in mind that Messaging is provided as a means to communicate securely with your Private Banker via the Internet and is not intended to be a real-time electronic means to execute banking or securities transactions in regards to your accounts with the Bank. The Bank may not be able to execute any such instructions and is under no obligation to execute instructions received from you through Messaging or to execute them within a particular time frame.

How is using Messaging different from regular email?
Unlike regular email, which can be intercepted easily and viewed by unauthorised parties, our Messaging service is highly secure. Clients concerned about maintaining the privacy of their private banking relationship are strongly advised to conduct all electronic communications with their Private Banker via Messaging. Use the service for any reason – and from anywhere in the world –
from sending a simple note to your Private Banker to finalising meeting arrangements to requesting more information about an investment product. Or use it to send your Private Banker a secure message, in place of a fax, to confirm a verbal transaction request.

What will happen to my original instruction message if my Private Banker is out of the office?
We have designed this system to be as secure and private as possible, which means that messages you send can only be accessed by your Private Banker and, in some cases, the Client Service Officer assigned to your account. There is the possibility that one, or both, of these individuals may be out of the office when you send your original instruction message and, therefore, there is a chance that your original instruction message may not be accessed immediately. If you have an instruction request that is time sensitive, we strongly advise you to contact The Standard Chartered Private Bank by telephone when you send your original instruction message.

How do I stop email notifications?
From the Portfolio View & Messaging section, click on "Email Settings" to add, change or delete email notifications.

I am the beneficial owner of a PIC and want to use the original message (authentication) feature of Secure Messaging. Is this possible?
Yes. The Portfolio View & Messaging User Agreement covers clients with a fiduciary structure (Trusts and PICs), or any combination of the two, whether domiciled in Cayman or Guernsey. There is a special enrolment process that needs to be followed for clients who have fiduciary structures, along with a form to be completed by the Trust Company.
In addition, clients who have a Trust or PIC, and who have Limited Power of Attorney (POA), can also use the messaging system as long as the individual who signed the PV&M User Agreement is the same individual to whom the POA was granted. All that is needed is a simple letter whereby the client acknowledges that: a) he is the person who signed the PV&M User Agreement; and b) he has authorised the POA agreement with the Trust Company (thus allowing the client to give directions directly to his Private Banker via Secure Messaging for the specific transactions enumerated in the POA). Please remember that a POA arrangement may not be appropriate for many fiduciary structures and the client should always consult with his Private Banker and Fiduciary Specialist before requesting such an arrangement.

 

SECURITY

What security measures are in place to keep my information and messages secure?
To help protect your confidential information, we have created multiple levels of security:

  • You will create a unique User ID and Password that must be input each time you log on. No Standard Chartered Bank employee should ever ask you for your Password. For your own protection, keep your Password confidential and do not share it with anyone.
  • Standard Chartered Bank’s secure services use 128-bit encryption technology. Portfolio View & Messaging uses the same encryption technology used by Standard Chartered Bank, and its affiliates, for handling financial transactions on the Internet.
  • Neither your name nor your identity is maintained in our online system. The minimal information we store is held in a separate system to our financial system. Only those clients who specifically enrol will have their portfolio downloaded to our online system database.
  • Your Private Banker will be able to view your portfolio information using his or her own unique user ID and Password.

What can I do to ensure my privacy?
When you choose your User ID and Password, do not use the same ID and Password that you use for another unit in Standard Chartered Bank or another firm. Do not use an ID or Password that could easily be guessed, such as names or birthdays of family members. Always select "No" if your browser asks you if you want to store your Password.

Always "Log Out" and close your Web browser before walking away from your computer.

What should I do if I think my Password has been compromised?
If you think your Password has been compromised, change it immediately online and then let your Private Banker know that your Password may have been compromised.

How do I exit the secure area?
Always "Log Out" when you are ready to leave the secure area of The Standard Chartered Private Bank Web site and always close your Web browser before walking away from your computer.
