Danske Bank kutter 106 stillinger
Halvparten av nedbemanningen skjer i Danmark. Seks stillinger skal vekk i Norge.
Danske Bank is cutting 106 jobs across Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Latvia, and Poland, according to a press release. Approximately half of the affected positions are in Denmark, while six are in Norway, as confirmed by Anna-Lena Nordling, the press chief of Danske Bank in Norway, speaking with E24. The bank emphasizes that the job cuts do not include employees directly serving customers.
In Norway, Danske Bank no longer offers personal banking services after its sale to Nordea and transfer in 2024, but it still caters to Norwegian corporate clients. The bank cites various reasons for the job cuts, such as overlapping tasks and streamlining efforts, while also mentioning larger projects completion in certain areas.
The layoffs are part of Danske Bank's strategic plan Forward '28, aimed at strengthening its competitive edge by simplifying the organization, investing in new capacities, and reallocating resources to areas that generate the most value for customers. Karsten Breum, Danske Bank's personnel director, stated that this is a natural part of running and developing a large company.
In May, the bank had previously announced plans to cut 262 jobs, mainly citing efficiency improvements and AI solution adoption. Job cuts have also occurred in other parts of the banking industry, with DNB recently announcing plans to lay off around 400 employees in its technology and services sector.
