Unnim, the new entity resulting from the merger of three saving banks - Caixa Sabadell, Terrassa and Manlleu - will be established in Barcelona with operating sub-sites in Sabadell, Terrassa and Manlleu. Within two years, Unnim will have 2,900 employees after reducing staff by 530, most taking early retirement.
After closing 150 of the 760 branches in January 2009 (20% of the total) it will be left with 610. Unnim will start to be operational between late June and early July. The new savings bank will hold assets of 30,000 million euro, leaving it eleventh among the 45 savings banks currently operating in Spain.
The Sabadell, Terrassa and Manlleu savings banks have announced that they will call together their boards of directors to set a date in May for assemblies with the workers to deal with the merger process.
