Alliance opens SLC center

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.{mprestriction ids="1,3"}
