Scotiabank is the latest bank to slash jobs during a time of healthy profits.
CBC News has learned that the company will be eliminating back office support staff jobs across the country. The positions typically involve paperwork for everything from commercial loans to account operations.
The cuts will come over the next two years as Scotiabank closes regional operations and consolidates the services into two high-tech hubs in Toronto.
The streamlining is part of an investment in new technologies that will help "reduce duplication, shorten turnaround times and minimize risk" for a better customer experience, said spokeswoman Sheena Findlay in an email to CBC News.
Scotiabank employs more than 87,000 people worldwide. Findlay would not say how many positions will be eliminated. A bank employee told CBC News that she estimates about 200 people will be affected in her region alone.
The worker said she and her colleagues attended a meeting last night where Scotiabank announced the news.
