It planned to reduce inefficient operations, task duplication and some back office processing functions, but stated that it would not close more branches even where closures had been planned. The news received hostile reactions from both unions and consumer association. Union officials said the job cuts were scandalous and that iBank staff were suffering from uncertainty following previous cuts and closures. According to the union official, They have just shed 500 jobs, all from the retail network. Now we get this punch with another 1000 jobs."
