全英房屋抵押贷款协会正在进一步裁员275人，这是在该行高管强力推进29亿英镑收购维珍理财之后的又一轮裁员。
Nationwide building society is slashing another 275 jobs in the latest round of cuts since bank bosses pushed through a £2.9bn takeover of Virgin Money.
高管们于周三向员工宣布了这一消息，称这是简化银行运营以及在将数千名员工纳入该集团更广泛的员工队伍后“消除重叠”的努力的一部分。G此次裁员将波及零售部门（包括从事抵押贷款工作的员工），以及人力资源部、首席运营官办公室、客户运营部、传讯部和财务部。
Bosses made the announcement to staff on Wednesday, saying it was part of efforts to simplify the bank’s operations and “remove duplication” after absorbing thousands of staff in to the group’s wider workforce. The cuts are to fall across its retail division, including those working on mortgages, as well as in HR, the chief operating officer’s office, customer operations, communications and finance.
全英房屋抵押贷款协会表示，没有面向客户的员工会受到影响，这似乎符合其保持700家分行至少开放至2030年的承诺。
Nationwide said no customer-facing staff would be affected, which appears to be in line with its pledge to keep its 700 branches open until at least 2030.
紧随其后的是上一轮裁员，该轮裁员于6月宣布，影响了600名员工。
It follows closely behind the last round of job losses, which were announced in June and affected 600 staff.
在谈到最新裁员时，该放贷机构的一位发言人表示：“随着我们将维珍理财整合进全英房屋抵押贷款协会，我们正在进行有限度的调整。没有面向客户的同事面临风险，我们正在为受影响的人提供支持，包括通过再培训和重新部署。”维珍理财的收购在两年前刚宣布时曾是房屋抵押贷款协会行业的福音，它标志着一个罕见的时刻：一家传统上专注于抵押贷款和储蓄的会员所有制放贷机构正在吞并一家商业商业街银行。然而，此举也证明极具争议，因为全英房屋抵押贷款协会拒绝让会员对该交易进行投票。
Commenting on the latest cuts, a spokesperson for the lender said: “As we integrate Virgin Money into Nationwide, we’re making a limited number of changes. No customer-facing colleagues are at risk and we’re supporting those affected, including through retraining and redeployment.”The Virgin Money takeover was a boon for the building society sector when it was first announced two years ago, having marked a rare moment when a member-owned lender – traditionally focused on mortgages and savings – was snapping up a commercial high street bank. However, the move also proved controversial, with Nationwide having refused to give members a vote on the deal.
根据2025年年度报告，在全英房屋抵押贷款协会于2024年底正式完成收购时，维珍理财拥有7000多名员工，而当时该房屋抵押贷款协会拥有大约1.8万名自己的员工。目前其员工总数约为2.7万人。
Virgin Money had more than 7,000 staff around the time Nationwide formalised its takeover in late 2024, when the building society had about 18,000 of its own employees, according to its 2025 annual report. Its total workforce now sits at roughly 27,000 today.
高管们曾在2024年证实，将会有“有限的员工队伍变动”来处理重叠的职能，但在随后的几年里，他们将对员工基础进行正式审查。G全英房屋抵押贷款协会的一位发言人强调，此次裁员与人工智能的使用增加无关。
Executives had confirmed back in 2024 that there would be “limited workforce changes” to deal with overlapping roles but that they would undergo a formal review of its employee base in the years that followed. A Nationwide spokesperson stressed that the cuts were not linked to any growing use of AI.
周四，巴克莱银行透露将裁员5000人，作为人工智能技术发展推动的成本削减计划的一部分，这说明了与快速演变的技术相关的现实影响。全英房屋抵押贷款协会将于11月19日发布半年度财务业绩。
On Thursday, Barclays revealed it was cutting 5,000 jobs as part of cost-saving plans driven by advances in AI, illustrating the real-life fallout linked to the rapidly evolving technology. Nationwide is to release its half-year financial results on 19 November.
