Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) announced they will hire 350 workers to staff a new customer service center opening in the Miami-Dade county of Florida. The new employees will provide support to Visa’s financial institution clients, merchants and cardholders.
Once the center is operational, target is for this summer, it will function around the clock and the multilingual staff will provide service for calls coming around the world.
“This is a great opportunity for both Miami-Dade County and Visa – Miami’s vibrant business community will gain 350-plus additional jobs, and Visa will continue to enhance the level of customer support we provide to our clients,” said John Partridge, president of Visa Inc.
The service center will be located in the same building as the company’s Latin America and Caribbean headquarters. Including the new service center staff, Visa will employ nearly 600 workers in the Miami-Dade area.
