Addison, Texas (October 22, 2012) – The Town of Addison announces that less than two years since selecting the community for its new Financial Contact Center, USAA plans a major expansion of its Addison offices.

USAA will add an additional 270 employees over the next few months to its Addison office to help USAA members with their mortgage needs. The company is adding more than 46,000 square feet of space for a total of 119,000 square feet at the Two Addison Circle building on the Dallas Parkway.   Based on USAA’s experience the past year it expects to fill more than 200 of these new
positions from the local community.

“Addison and surrounding communities have been a rich source of talented employees who can help us serve our members’ needs for financial products, services and advice,” said USAA’s Addison executive Kevin Beall. “And local officials, including the mayor and city council, have been terrific partners. Addison is a great place to do business.”

“USAA’s location at the Addison Circle Two Building provides the company with a genuine ‘live, work, and play’ atmosphere critical to their needs,” said Orlando Campos, Addison director of economic development. “The company’s expansion is a testament of our community’s economic development vision to develop an environment that will attract and retain qualified employees for our companies.”

“We are very excited about this expansion,” stated Town of Addison Mayor Todd Meier. “We understand the investment companies make in our community. We work hard to surpass expectations and develop a community that is business friendly.” 

USAA currently employs 120 people at its Addison office who provide retirement/investment advice and solutions to USAA members.
