MANILA, Philippines - McKinley Hill Cyberpark, the largest information technology (IT) park to date of leading business process outsourcing (BPO) office landlord Megaworld Corp., has attracted another marquee locator: Wells Fargo & Co. of the United States.
Wells Fargo & Co. is a US-wide, diversified, community-based financial services co. with $1.3 trillion in assets.
Its local subsidiary, Wells Fargo Philippines Solutions, occupies two floors at 8 and 10 Upper McKinley Road. The company will also lease out a campus-type building currently being constructed also in McKinley Hill Cyberpark.
“We are proud that one of the United States’ top 4 banks, Wells Fargo, has chosen McKinley Hill Cyberpark to set up their new Philippine service center. This move highlights the attractiveness of the Philippines as an investment destination and its human resource capabilities,” Megaworld FVP for Business Development Jericho Go declared.
For his part, Wells Fargo Philippines Solutions managing director David Caldwell said, “We selected the Philippines to be part of Wells Fargo’s international footprint based on the country’s reputation for strong customer service, a large English speaking population and a cultural affinity to the United States. More specifically, our location In McKinley Hill gives us a strong foothold as we are among our peers in the industry.”
Wells Fargo joins other high-profile BPO locators at the 14-hectare McKinley Hill Cyberpark, including Accenture, HP and Thomson Reuters.
The entry of Wells Fargo bodes well for McKinley Hill Cyberpark, which is now on a rapid expansion mode, with the ongoing construction of the four-tower Science Hub beside the Venice Piazza commercial and retail area.
