“It’s a very exciting day for us as we continue to expand our presence in the Atlanta Metro Area and reaffirm our commitment to the growth of our great city,” said
Andy Bodea, Chief Global Operations Officer at Equifax. “These new offices are both a testament to the strength of our operations as well as to the vitality of the FinTech community in Atlanta, a growth engine in the U.S. We remain committed to drive innovation in all areas of our business and investing in the best talent to ensure we continue to deliver value to customers and consumers.”


With its close proximity to the Georgia Institute of Technology campus, the new office space spans five floors in the 50-story iconic skyscraper. It serves as an extension of the company’s operations and joins the other Equifax metro Atlanta locations in midtown and Alpharetta. Currently, Equifax employs more than 2,200 Atlanta citizens with the number expected to reach close to 3,000 over the next five years. The expansion is expected to generate over $62 million of economic impact for the city as a result of a $17 million investment by Equifax in the project, which was also supported by the Georgia Department of Economic Development.


“I want to congratulate Equifax for its ongoing success and expansion,” said Mayor
Kasim Reed. “Equifax is a company with deep, established roots in our great city, and has redefined itself as a front-runner in the FinTech space.

Built in 1987 between the intersection of 14th and West Peachtree Streets, the OAC building will house Equifax employees from different functions such as IT, data/analytics, marketing, and finance across 100,000-square-feet of office space.
