  Edgefield County Economic Leader announces Veracity Payment Solutions Opens Service Center in Aiken web posted May 22, 2008 AIKEN – Edgefield County Economic leader Fred Humes announced Veracity Payment Solutions has officially opened their new customer contact center in Aiken, S.C. with a ribbon cutting ceremony this week. The company’s $3 million investment will bring 100 new jobs to Aiken County. “This is an exciting opportunity for me and the Veracity organization,” said Brenda Stein, senior vice president for Veracity. “I have the privilege to work with an organization that is making a difference in the Aiken community which is my home.” Aiken has a diverse labor force that will enable Veracity to be successful, and I’m proud that this community is contributing to our achievement.” “We are extremely excited to become a part of the Aiken community,” said Joe Cohane, chief executive officer with Veracity. “We selected Aiken as the base of our North America operation because of the partnership approach and support we encountered when working with the local businesses, city and state agencies and community leaders. We value relationships that foster success for all involved and we found that spirit here in Aiken.” Veracity's new customer contact center is located in the former Belk's at Kalmia Plaza. They occupy the rear 15,000 sq. ft. Their long-term plans include the potential to expand into the remainder of the 41,600-sq. ft. building. "We are excited by Veracity's grand opening and their commitment to create 100 jobs," said Ronnie Young, Chairman of Aiken County Council. "They are already pleased by the quality of the labor pool they have seen, which has exceeded their expectations. I am confident that this is just the first of many announcements from Veracity that we will see in the years to come." "On behalf of the City Council, we are pleased that Veracity located in this existing building at Kalmia Plaza," said Mayor Fred Cavanaugh. "It takes vision to look at an older facility and see its potential. Veracity now has a premiere location within the City of Aiken with great access to shops and restaurants, which makes it a great place to work." "Veracity continues the growth of our service-sector, which reflects the national trend," said John Troutman, Chairman of the Economic Development Partnership. "As the manufacturing-sector continues to contract due to overseas pressure and technological innovations, companies such as Veracity will gain greater importance as we strive to create quality jobs for our community." Veracity is actively looking for qualified customer service representatives, customer service managers, information technology designers/developers and information technology managers. Interested persons may apply at the Aiken Workforce Center located at 1571 Richland Avenue, East. ReadySC, South Carolina's nationally ranked worker training program, will provide free training for individuals selected to participate.
