  • Spanish banking giant Banco Santander told unions Friday that it plans to slash 4,000 jobs in Spain, Spanish union CCOO said following talks with the lender. Another source close to the negotiations said the job cuts are mostly due to greater use of online banking, which has surged "by nearly 50 percent" this year amid the pandemic. Santander expects transactions at physical bank branches "will be reduced by half during the next two years," the source added. As a result around 1,000 jobs will also be "reorganised internally", the source said. Santander, Spain's largest bank, in 2019 announced it wanted to cut its costs by 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion) per year over the following two years. At the same time it said it planned to invest over 20 billion euros over four years in its "digital transformation". Santander in 2018 already slashed over 3,200 jobs in Spain as part of a restructuring linked to its absorption of its troubled rival Banco Popular in 2017. The bank posted a net loss of 9.0 billion euros during the nine months to September as economic fallout from the pandemic hit, although its performance improved in the third quarter. It is the first time that the bank has posted a loss. Spain's fifth-largest bank, Banco Sabadell, said Tuesday that it plans to cut 1,800 jobs in Spain as part of a restructuring. Between 2008 and the end of 2019 Spanish banks slashed nearly 100,000 jobs, or around 37 percent of their workforce in 2008, according to the CCOO, Spain's largest union. Spain has been one of the countries worst affected by the coronavirus pandemic and while its tourism-dependent economy generally did better in the third quarter, a resurgence in cases has led to new restrictions which many fear will once again hit business hard. The International Monetary Fund sees Spain's gross domestic product slumping by 12.8 percent this year, which would make it the worst-hit country among the world's advanced economies. emi/ds/wai
