UniCredit Confirms Plan to Eliminate 300–400 German IT Jobs by 2027

The bank cites cost savings to support a push for a unified group IT setup.

Overview

  • The targeted roles belong to a separate group IT services unit across German sites rather than HypoVereinsbank positions.
  • Management says the process will be handled in close coordination with the works council and described as socially responsible.
  • Media reports indicate parts of the work could be relocated to Romania, with many of the current roles based in Munich.
  • HVB’s latest report shows 8,421 full-time equivalents in Germany, down from more than 12,000 five years ago.
  • The move unfolds as UniCredit pursues a takeover of Commerzbank, with unions warning of potential broader job impacts.
