JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) has cut 500 additional jobs following the new layoffs in First Republic Bank where more than 1,000 employees were notified of being let go.
Reuters reported on Friday that the bank was cutting about 500 employees this week across its various departments, according to a person familiar with the situation who asked not to be identified discussing personnel matters.
The layoffs will affect employees across the bank’s main businesses — consumer, commercial banking, asset and wealth management — as well as technology and operations, the source said.
There are more than 13,000 current job openings at the bank, the source added.
JPMorgan declined to comment.
Just a day prior to the 500 additional layoffs, JPMorgan said it was laying off 1,000 First Republic Bank employees.
“The cuts are a further blow to First Republic employees, who have already had a challenging two months.
Following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March, customers of First Republic withdrew tens of billions of dollars of deposits and the lender was ultimately shuttered by US regulators and sold over a weekend to JPMorgan,” said FT.
Within the next 30 days, JP Morgan will notify First Republic employees of their job status, and not everyone will be offered a position with the bank.
First Republic became the largest U.S. lender to fail since 2008 after it was seized by regulators and sold to JPMorgan in early May.
