OP Uusimaa has begun formal restructuring talks that could result in the loss of up to 70 positions in the Uusimaa region.

The bank said the negotiations cover its entire Uusimaa workforce, excluding staff in Kuopio and employees at OP Koti Uusimaa. At the same time, 20 new roles are expected to be created as part of the reorganisation.

Chief executive Olli Lehtilä said the goal is to adapt the bank’s structure and practices to support future growth.

“OP Uusimaa has sought strong growth, and our business has developed in line with our objectives. Our new strategy is aimed at broad and profitable expansion. To succeed in the years ahead, we must continue to renew and develop our operations,” Lehtilä said.

The bank cited three main aims: eliminating overlapping tasks, improving productivity, and strengthening customer experience.

According to the plans, the new structure would streamline decision-making and day-to-day management while preparing the bank for long-term growth.

“These changes will ensure the best possible customer experience, profitable growth, and productivity, and secure the bank’s success in the future,” Lehtilä said.

The talks began on Tuesday and will determine the final number of positions affected.
