According to a report by Reuters, citing Citigroup Inc’s filings to the State Department of Labor, the lender intends to dismiss 286 employees in New York.

Three separate notices from this week revealed the layoffs would affect 239 employees at Citigroup’s primary banking subsidiary, 44 at its broker-dealer unit and 3 at its technology arm.

In January, the financial group had announced that it would cut 20,000 jobs over the upcoming two years, after a “clearly disappointing” quarter in which it posted a $1.8 billion loss due to one-off charges.

The Wall Street bank is looking to cut its workforce globally by about 8% through 2026.
