Fiserv, Inc. (FI), a leader in payments and financial services technology, has announced plans to open a new strategic fintech hub in Overland Park, Kansas. This new initiative is set to create approximately 2,000 jobs, marking a significant expansion in the American heartland. The facility, located on the Aspiria campus at 6500 and 6550 Sprint Parkway, will span an impressive 427,000 square feet across two buildings.
The choice of Overland Park as the location for this new hub is strategic. The central U.S. location provides convenient access to Fiserv's Midwest client base, offers affordable living, and presents opportunities to attract exceptional tech talent. By selecting this locale, Fiserv is aligning with its "proven hub strategy" to foster innovation and collaboration through co-located teams.
Set to open later this year, the Kansas office will join Fiserv's existing network of major strategic hubs. This expansion aims to enhance the company's ability to serve clients more efficiently while quickly adapting to evolving market needs. Fiserv's investment in such a substantial physical infrastructure underscores its commitment to driving innovation in financial technology services, despite industry trends towards remote work.
Fiserv's CEO, Frank Bisignano, expressed excitement over the expansion, highlighting the potential for growth and prosperity in collaboration with local and state leaders. The new hub will also support Kansas' economic initiatives by creating high-value career opportunities, including roles for military personnel transitioning to civilian life and graduates from local higher education institutions.
As Fiserv continues to enhance its operational capacities, the establishment of this new fintech hub signals confidence in its growth trajectory and its strategy to leverage in-person collaboration for innovation advantage.
