Description

The EBS Building Society, a subsidiary of the Allied Irish Banks, plans to reduce its 600 strong workforce by 200 as it franchises out the last of its branches. The job cuts are to be implemented on a voluntary basis and will concern both the company’s head office and branch network.

EBS building society presently has 82 offices in the Republic, comprised of 14 branches and 68 tied agents or franchises. It is understood that EBS wants to transfer responsibility for these 14 branches to tied agents.
