StanChart Boosts Bonus Pool 10% as Pay of Winters Stays Flat

Standard Chartered Plc increased its annual bonus pool by 10% in 2025, though Chief Executive Officer Bill Winters saw his total pay package remain largely stagnant even as the bank’s shares finally recovered to levels seen a decade ago.

The CEO’s total compensation rose 2% to £12.7 million ($17.1 million), up from £12.5 million the previous year, according to the bank’s annual report. The lender’s total incentive pool for the year reached $1.86 billion.
