Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LLOY.LN) said on Wednesday that it intends to eliminate a net 195 roles as part of its cost-savings plan.

The lender said the reductions are mainly in its back-office teams, and it will also be creating 255 new roles in its 3.0 billion pounds ($3.95 billion) digital investment program.

"The group's policy is always to use natural turnover and to redeploy people wherever possible to retain their expertise and knowledge within the group," a spokesperson for Lloyds said in a statement.

"Today's announcement involves making difficult decisions, and we are committed to working through these changes in a careful and sensitive way," the spokesperson said.
