Citigroup Inc. is laying off about 3,500 tech employees in China as part of a global revamp to simplify processes.
The layoffs at solution centres in Shanghai and Dalian will be completed by the fourth quarter with potential role shifts to other global centres.
These job cuts will not affect Citibank (China), ensuring continuity of banking services for clients in the country.
Citigroup aims to increase internal technology team strength and reduce reliance on external contractors, focusing on enhancing systems and processes after facing regulatory challenges.
