This location will bring approximately 2,000 jobs to the state as part of the company’s strategy to bring people together to inspire innovation and deliver exceptional products and services for clients.
Located on the Aspiria campus at 6500 and 6550 Sprint Parkway in Overland Park, Kansas, the new site includes 427,000 square feet of space across two buildings. The site was selected for its central location in the country, proximity to Fiserv’s Midwest client base, affordable living, and the opportunity to attract exceptional tech talent. The campus will feature world-class amenities that continue to advance Fiserv’s strategy to create large fintech hubs and provide significant career opportunities for its associates.
“We are thrilled to expand our U.S. footprint, bringing our people together to drive innovation on behalf of our clients,” said Frank Bisignano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fiserv. “The greater Kansas City Metro area offers a dynamic environment with a growing population of tech talent, making it the ideal location for Fiserv’s next strategic fintech hub. Working with local and state leaders, we are committed to driving growth and prosperity for both Fiserv and Kansas while contributing to the vibrancy of the Overland Park community.”
The new office joins Fiserv’s network of major strategic hubs. This proven hub strategy has driven exceptional collaboration and innovation across the company, enabling Fiserv to serve clients better and more efficiently while quickly adapting to evolving market needs.
“When I took office in 2019, my administration promised to modernize and diversify the Kansas economy in order to build long-term resilience,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “Fiserv’s new strategic hub in Overland Park is a significant step forward as we continue to elevate Kansas to new heights. Fiserv will create high-value career options including opportunities for military personnel transitioning to civilian life and graduates of our higher education system.”
Fiserv expects to open the Kansas office later this year.
