Bank of Nova Scotia is cutting jobs across its Canadian banking division to boost long-term profitability.
According to Aris Bogdaneris, who leads the division, changes are designed "to prioritize only those activities that drive the most meaningful impact for our business."
"I want to acknowledge that a transformation of this scale is not easy, especially when it means saying goodbye to valued colleagues,"
Although the number of roles being cut was not specified, the decision is part of the firm's effort to increase profitability.
