"HSBC is weighing up plans to cut as many as 20,000 jobs globally over the next three to five years as it accelerates the use of artificial intelligence to streamline operations, in what could become one of the most significant workforce reductions in modern banking."
"We want to simplify processes, procedures and policies and reduce complexity, while also highlighting the role of AI in equipping frontline staff."
"A reduction on this scale would place HSBC at the forefront of an emerging trend across global finance, where automation is increasingly targeting traditional white-collar roles."
HSBC is considering cutting up to 20,000 jobs globally over the next three to five years as part of a strategy to implement artificial intelligence. This could affect up to 10 percent of its 210,000 employees, with around 3,500 roles potentially impacted in the UK. The bank aims to simplify processes and enhance productivity through AI tools. The review of headcount is part of a long-term transformation agenda, not a reaction to short-term economic changes, and reflects a broader trend in the finance industry towards automation.
