Claim: 'Standard Bank has set its HQ in Lusaka. It has closed its office in Harare and crossed the border to build its headquarters in Zambia after 130 years in Zimbabwe.'
Fact-check: It's Standard Chartered, not Standard Bank, that has exited Zimbabwe after 130 years  - FactCheckZW
Verdict: the claim: 'standard bank has set its hq in lusaka. it has closed its office in harare and crossed the border to build its headquarters in zambia after 130 years in zimbabwe,' has been rated as false in that it is not the standard but standard chartered bank, which exited zimbabwe after 130 years of operation. the claim also gives the impression that before exiting zimbabwe standard chartered bank was not operating in zambia yet the bank has been in that country since 1906.
