Ulster Bank announced plans for "250 voluntary redundancies" in capital and corporate markets, credit risk, communications and corporate services, and the finance department at the company headquarters in Dublin. The layoffs are in addition to the 750 layoffs from the closure of Ulster Bank's First Active branches, according to The Sunday Business Post online.

Meanwhile, the Bank of New York Mellon is shutting down its Collateralized Debt Obligation Unit in New York. "Layoffs will occur in phases: 30 employees to be laid off on Oct. 19, 10 employees on Nov. 16 and the rest on the closing of the unit on Dec. 21," according to CoStar Group.

Even though several financial institutions are laying off employees, several are also hiring. Check our job opening pick of the day from The Deal's Career Channel:
