Consumer solutions provider picks Philippines as hub in Asia Pacific
MANILA - United States-based Affinion Group Holdings Inc has chosen the Philippines as its offshore hub in Asia Pacific as it recently opened its first office here in Bonifacio Global City.
Affinion Group, a global loyalty and consumer solutions provider, said its domestic contact center and shared services hub, which had about 200 workers, had started operations in April.
“Our global management team has worked for different business process outsourcing companies with operations in the Philippines and they love the experience,” Nono Felipe, Affinion’s country manager, said in a statement.
“They like the specific skill set of Filipinos in relation to the contact center and shared services industry. It’s also because of lower operating cost,” he added.
Affinion Group’s services include loyalty programmes that help reward, motivate and retain consumers. It also has engagement programmes to help consumers save money, bundle valuable discounts, protection and other benefits. Likewise, it has insurance programmes to protect against accident, injury, illness and death.
