F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB) has announced plans to expand its operations and technology functions with the addition of a new operations and customer service center in Pittsburgh, PA.

The new operations and customer service center is scheduled to open later this year in the historic D.L. Clark Building at 503 Martindale Street, in space formerly occupied by Dominion Resources, Inc. FNB will add nearly 100 operations and customer service jobs to its North Shore corporate headquarters campus, bringing the Company's total number of North Shore and Downtown Pittsburgh employees to more than 400, occupying over 120,000 square feet of space.

FNB will also add support positions in its established technology and operations center in Hermitage, PA. The Company has additional plans to house more than 200 key support employees in North Carolina as part of its planned merger with Yadkin Financial Corporation early next year, the majority of whom will serve in credit support, Small Business Administration lending and mortgage banking.

"FNB's strategic placement of operational hubs within the communities we serve enables us to attract and retain local talent by drawing from a broader geography," said Vincent J. Delie, Jr., chief executive officer and president of F.N.B. Corporation. "We are very pleased to announce the addition of these positions while remaining consistent with our targeted expense objectives and overall efficiency goals."

FNB has been consistently recognized as a top employer and has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to attract quality talent, often from larger organizations. The Company has been actively investing in staffing and infrastructure to keep pace with its ongoing growth, most recently announcing key leadership positions and the retention of front-line Yadkin Financial Corporation employees for its anticipated franchise in North Carolina and South Carolina. FNB has grown its total assets to nearly $30 billion on a combined, pro forma basis, and today is one of the 50 largest banks and thrifts in the United States by total assets.
