"Standard Chartered are one of the world's leading banks. They're a global company, as we are, and their aspiration to be the best bank in the world matches our aspiration to be the best at what we do.
"They operate in a number of markets around the world where we have a long term plan to increase the family of Liverpool fans and this agreement will be very helpful to us in doing that.
"Many branches in these countries will effectively be a shop window for Liverpool Football Club and a means of attracting more supporters to the cause.
