Once the United States won the Revolutionary War, there was interest in setting up a banking system, including a central bank. Thus, the first bank that we know about was established, around 1797. Located in Philadelphia, it was inspired by the leadership of Alexander Hamilton, the first US Secretary of the Treasury. It was named the "Bank of the United States" (later renamed the First Bank of the United States), and in its first incarnation, it was in operation from 1797-1811.

Where did Standard Chartered establish first time?

There is no real answer to that. Standard Chartered was created by a merger of two separate banks, the Standard Bank of British South Africa and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China. So when Standard Chartered came into existence in 1969, it had many branches in different parts of the world. The Standard Bank of British South Africa was founded in London in 1862 and started business in Port Elizabeth in 1863. The Chartered Bank was founded in 1853 opening first in Mumbai (Bombay).
