CHANTILLY, Va., July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intersections Inc. (Nasdaq: INTX), a leading provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services, based in Chantilly, Virginia,  that has protected over 30 million consumers, today announced its plans to open  a new inbound customer service center in Altavista, VA. The facility, expected to open in October 2010, will offer support for Intersections' customers enrolled in its identity theft protection services. With room for expansion, the center has the capacity to create more than 250 new jobs in this southern Virginia location.

Given high unemployment rates, Intersections' creation of these new jobs has earned the attention and support of Governor Bob McDonnell, "Identity theft protection is an incredibly important service for consumers and companies in today's marketplace. Virginia provided Intersections with the right location, the right building opportunity and an environment that will encourage and appreciate this company's community-minded spirit. We are pleased that this global company has chosen to open yet another facility in the Commonwealth and create 250 new jobs in Campbell County."

This new, high-tech facility in Altavista will be the fourth for Intersections, which currently operates customer service centers in Rio Rancho, NM;  Arlington Heights, IL; and at its headquarters in Chantilly, VA.   Intersections is a pioneer in the identity theft industry providing its services under private label arrangements to the largest financial institutions in North America since 1996.   It also markets direct-to-consumer through IDENTITY GUARD®, its award-winning, comprehensive identity theft and recovery services product suite.  

"We are pleased to expand our customer service department and to create more solid jobs in  Virginia," said Michael Stanfield, CEO of Intersections. "Given its high-quality, stable work force, Altavista is a perfect location for our new center. It will allow us to continue to support our growing customer base with top-quality customer service assistance, while helping to stimulate the economy and provide jobs among a hard-working community.  As this facility gears up, a significant majority of our employees will be based in our home, the Commonwealth of Virginia."
