President Luis Abinader was present for the formal opening of Scotiabank’s second Global Services Campus. The business service center is at the Las Americas Free Zone Park in eastern Santo Domingo province. It is the second campus in Latin America. A first opened in Bogotá, Colombia in 2018.
Scotiabank vice president Marcela Giraldo says the Dominican Republic was chosen for the availability of trained bilingual human talent, as well as for its good business climate. “The Dominican Republic has a growing economy with access to talent and an environment that supports development and investment,” she said. Scotiabank is the third-largest private bank in the country.
When operating at full capacity, the Santo Domingo center will employ 2,000 who will serve Scotiabank customers and staff in Canada, the United States, Chile and the Virgin Islands. The center is a US$80 million investment. The services are in collections, contact center, money laundering prevention operations and personal banking services.
