Visa announces Atlanta expansion, growing to 1,000 employees
ATLANTA (AP) — Payment processor Visa Inc. says it will expand its operations in Atlanta, growing to about 1,000 employees at a new office in the city. Atlanta has emerged as a center of financial technology and payment processing, one draw for San Francisco-based Visa to expand in Georgia. The company says it will open a new office in Atlanta’s midtown area in 2022. The state declined to say how much it will offer in incentives to Visa because the agreement is not yet complete. Visa says its Atlanta office will concentrate on technology and client service. The office will be led by Michelle Gethers-Clark, Visa’s chief diversity officer and head of corporate responsibility.
