Barclays to cut 100 jobs in Singapore

Functions will be relocated in India.

British bank Barclays is cutting more jobs from its information technology operations in Singapore to save on costs. The IT function will be relocated in India.

"We have now identified a number of additional roles that carry out global activity in Singapore which can be relocated. Regrettably, this will mean that roles will fall away in Singapore, and so we are working closely with the colleagues impacted to ensure they are supported throughout the process,” the bank said in a statement.

The statement did not disclose the number but a report from Bloomberg said that the London-based bank is intending to cut approximately 100 jobs in Singapore. 

Barclays currently has approximately 3,000 staff in Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
