UBS is set to relocate 64 roles from its London office to continental Europe in preparation for the UK’s exit from the European Union, with more likely to follow.

Under its Brexit plans, the Swiss bank is merging its London branch with UBS Europe SE, which is based in Frankfurt, meaning that the new entity comes under the supervision of the European Central Bank. The majority of staff affected by Brexit will be moved to this Frankfurt subsidiary.
