The company said it has already hired 101 new sales representatives and plans to hire 1,198 more.
The company ended last year with 3,055 full-time and part-time workers, about 1,750 of them in sales and marketing.
The expansion comes amid signs of major growth in card usage, with Visa reporting a 33% surge in first quarter profits and MasterCard a 24% increase in earnings last week.
