No staff layoffs over closure of two branches – StanChart

“The Bank is in the process of closing two of its branches namely Tudu and Westlands with a total headcount of twenty-seven (27). All stakeholders have been duly notified. As with all branch closures, we will aim at redeploying as many of the impacted employees as possible,” head of corporate affairs, brand and marketing Asiedua Addae said in the statement.
