Fiserv Breaks Ground On Alpharetta Location

Fiserv, Inc., a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, officially kicked off its move to Alpharetta on Friday with a groundbreaking ceremony.

Local and state officials — including Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle, Gov. Nathan Deal and representatives with the Georgia Department of Economic Development — were on hand for the ceremony.

The company has signed a lease for adjacent buildings located at 2900 and 2950 Westside Parkway in Alpharetta. The buildings will be renovated and a new parking structure will be built at the location, according to the company’s press release.

The new Alpharetta campus will provide Fiserv associates with all the amenities of a modern office environment, and was selected due to its desirable location as well as its ability to accommodate existing needs and continued growth.

The company, which currently employs approximately 2,000 associates across six locations in the metro Atlanta area, will add 500 jobs over the next five years. The company will also make an estimated capital investment of $41 million for facilities and equipment.

Associates are expected to begin working at the new location beginning in 2015.

“Fiserv is bringing nearly 2,000 existing jobs to Alpharetta, and the company has committed to hire a significant number of additional associates as they establish a presence in our community,” said Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle in an earlier statement. “As a leading location for technology-focused businesses, we are confident that Alpharetta will be just the right fit for Fiserv, and we welcome the company and their area associates to our city.”
