TAMPA-The Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. says it will add up to 255 high-wage new jobs and invest nearly $5 million on its campus here.
The company's plans announced on Monday were praised by state and local officials, including Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who stated, “The news that DTCC has decided to reinvest in Tampa and create more jobs means more families will have the opportunity to pursue the American Dream. This investment is a testament to our state's great workforce and the resources our state offers to companies in reaching their goals.”
DTCC, through its subsidiaries, provides clearing, settlement and information services for equities, corporate and municipal bonds, government and mortgage-backed securities, money market instruments and over-the-counter derivatives. In addition, the firm is a leading processor of mutual funds and insurance transactions.
The New York City-based company considered offers from other states, but ultimately chose Tampa based on several factors, including recruitment potential and quality of living for its employees, company officials stated.
“The decision to expand our operations in Tampa signals our continuing commitment to this community and represents a new chapter in DTCC history,” said Michael Bodson, DTCC president and CEO. “The City of Tampa, Hillsborough County and the State of Florida have been great partners of ours since 2004, and we look forward to strengthening these relationships for years to come.”
The planned jobs at the Tampa campus will include IT, operations, human resources and finance. A phased-hiring schedule will be administered over a projected three-year period, company officials noted.
