ING Hubs Slovakia to cut nearly 100 jobs as operations are shifted abroad

The Bratislava-based shared services centre will scale back its financial crime and fraud prevention teams.

ING Hubs Slovakia is planning to cut up to 94 jobs at its Bratislava shared services centre between September and next April as the banking group restructures parts of its financial crime and fraud prevention operations.

The company said that the changes are part of an optimisation process involving the transfer of selected activities to other ING locations, organisational changes within existing teams and the creation of new specialist roles, Denník N reports.

Employees have been told that some roles are expected to move from Slovakia to other ING hubs, including Poland and the Philippines. The company has not confirmed which locations will take over the work currently performed in Bratislava.

According to the daily, the number of employees set to be laid off soon could be higher.
