Alliance Data, a Columbus, Ohio-based provider of credit card services, has opened its 143,000-square-foot customer care center in Draper. Alliance said in a release that the center will add 700 employees in coming months.
Alliance also announced that the facility will be the future home of Comenity Capital Bank, which the company has operated in Utah since 2003. This new facility will increase the bank's office by 13 times and will also mean significant job growth in the area. Current Comenity Capital Bank associates will relocate to the new facility over time.
During a ribbon-cutting event last week, Alliance also announced a $50,000 donation to the Utah Food Bank to help fund the Mobile School Pantry, as well as a $50,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake to fund homeless youth programming. Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer J. Cox joined Alliance executives and Utah Food Bank President Ginette Bott at the ceremony. Lavine Shapiro, funds director of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake, was also present.
