Equifax has expanded its international operations with a new Global Business Services (GBS) Center site in Torre Universal, San Jose which also supports the company’s leading credit data and analytics business in Costa Rica and Latin America. This new site will drive ongoing innovation in technology, the Equifax Cloud, cybersecurity, and operational excellence.
Existing Equifax facilities in Costa Rica are certified carbon neutral and the new site is undergoing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification, a recognized symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership that underscores the Equifax commitment to carbon neutrality by 2040. With this expansion, Costa Rica becomes the second largest Equifax location worldwide.
Equifax began its operations in Costa Rica in 1995 as one of the first multinational organizations to establish a global technology center in the region. Since that time, Costa Rican operations have grown and are expected to exceed 2,000 employees in 2023.
Costa Rica’s knowledge-intensive services sector is now reaching more than 100,000 jobs. It is one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy and is internationally recognized.
As a global data, analytics, and technology company, Equifax play an essential role in the global economy by helping financial institutions, companies, employers, and government agencies make critical decisions with greater confidence.
