As of that time, all SpKef employees became the employees of Landsbanki and Landsbanki took over all of SpKef’s assets and debts, ruv.is reports. Kristján Kristjánsson, Landsbanki’s information officer, wouldn’t reveal whether these measures will result in direct layoffs, although he admitted that some employment changes were imminent. SpKef has 150 employees. The savings bank operates 16 branches in the Sudurnes region in southwest Iceland, in the West Fjords, on Snaefellsnes peninsula in west Iceland and in Hvammstangi in the northwest.
