LONDON, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Britain's biggest high street bank Lloyds (LLOY.L) is putting around 2,500 jobs at risk as part of a shake-up, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters, amid a renewed push by lenders to slash costs.
Lloyds is poised to begin a consultation with staff in a number of roles, including analysts and product managers, the source said, adding many would go through a selection process and it was unclear how many would ultimately be cut.
as authorities empty towns
Staff are expected to be informed of the process as early as next week, the source said, adding it would also involve the creation of 120 roles.
The Guardian first reported on the process.
"We are evolving and transforming our business to ensure we can do more for our customers and deliver the products and services they need," a Lloyds spokesperson said, adding the bank was reviewing how teams worked without elaborating on potential cuts.

The news comes after Reuters reported on Thursday that Lloyds' rival Barclays (BARC.L) is working on plans to save up to 1 billion pounds ($1.25 billion), which could involve cutting as many as 2,000 jobs.
Most British banks have reported a run of strong profits as higher rates lifted lending revenue. But investor concerns about tougher competition for savers' cash and potential loan defaults amid a cost-of-living crisis are weighing on the sector.
Why are we in buy to look over the years it has not done any good far better to pay out in diverdends at least we will see money comeing back the only people buy back helps is tje money men Blackrock and other who are makeing money i hang on in hope one day it will turn around live in hope
"Proof me wrong"
Totally agree with Only if, the moron is you !
You prove one of your facts ,dumb ass
I think you will find its full of facts.
Proof me wrong, smart ass
Antony there is not one fact in your post ,the moron is you?
A special Divi would be inflationary and the government would come down on the banks hard.
But a failing government paying the price for their failed Brexit can give out 10% pay rises, but the idiots have forgotten 1 thing again, they are the biggest employer in the land. MORONS

Perhaps terms of the degree course should include a clause that you have to work ‘X’ many years in the NHS and then be allowed to leave and work elsewhere, be it here or abroad. If they wish to leave earlier than the agreed term of working they have to repay a proportion of the degree/training costs. It isn’t difficult to overcome this problem.
My Boss would not let me have my pass certificate that he paid for said if i wanted them i would have to refund him the money . Simple solution
Sell some assets, increase the dividend, special dividend and/or stand up to the governments Gate!! Simples.
The UK should develop a “digital alternative” to challenge the dominance of US credit cards Visa and Mastercard, a government-commissioned review said this week.
“While cards make a tremendous contribution to the payments landscape, we heard notable dissatisfaction with the cost of card schemes on the part of shops, services, and other merchants – which may be in part due to a lack of choice or digital alternatives to the existing card schemes,” the review said
Come on Lloyds do something with the money other then pointless buybacks
Like it or loathe it hunt's autumn statement seems to have been reasonably accepted as sound by the markets ATM...obviously time will tell more....gla
Silly post jcb. Removing shares from the register increases the share price. Its current price has more to do with decreasing NIMs, bad debt provisions and fear of a Labour government imposing taxes on bank profits.
3i Group at yet another all time - I hope that their decision to have over half the fund invested in just one business doesn't backfire (it has been the main driver so far)
Lloyds staying steady - just need it for a few more months for the start of the next buyback
How do you suggest they do that Seany ?
Most banks and insurance companies are sagging in the markets.
Cameron has gone to Gazza and promised them £30m in extra aid, more UK tax wasted on extreme Islamic fanatics. They murdered women and children and now we reward them; we must be cuckoo. The Islamics parade through London and violate our War Memorials , these people will never assimulate into our culture. The looney left must understand they only wish to impose their way of life on Anglo Saxon Brits , I say we already have enough; no more Mosques, try and build a Church in an Islam country.
The Dutch have had enough of Islam, and they used to be one of the most Liberal Countries in Europe , a founder member of the E.U. The UK is coming up behind.

“Many nursing and medical students leave university after their 5 to 8 year's degrees, then do a few months placement training and then fly off to Aus or NZ , etc for better pay and lower hours. We therefore have spent all that money subsidising their education and training and they clear off to benefit other countries.”
That doesn’t surprise me now. Perhaps terms of the degree course should include a clause that you have to work ‘X’ many years in the NHS and then be allowed to leave and work elsewhere, be it here or abroad. If they wish to leave earlier than the agreed term of working they have to repay a proportion of the degree/training costs. It isn’t difficult to overcome this problem.
