Card Briefs: Capital 1 Financial Opens New Tampa Call Center

Capital One Financial Corp. has formally opened the expanded call center operations of its affiliate, Capital One Services Inc., at Renaissance Park in Tampa.

Capital One, which is based in Falls Church, Va., won considerable support from Tampa Bay government and civic leaders after deciding on the site. It celebrated the grand opening June 17 by making charitable contributions in the area.

Capital One has hired more than 600 people in Tampa since launching its operations in August 1995.

The new, 108,000 square-foot facility, about seven miles from Tampa International Airport, is the company's first full-scale construction project outside its home state. The 71.4-acre site can accommodate up to five buildings, allowing for future growth.
