  • Some employees at Citizens Bank in Rhode Island will receive layoff notices this week as its parent company, Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (NYSE:RBS), continues to restructure. The layoffs, which will affect mostly back-office and support personnel, will take effect in 60 days, according to The Providence Journal.
  • Butterfield Bank's Bahamas division laid off six employees last week, according to The Nassau Guardian.
