PIERRE, S.D. –TCF Bank, a national bank holding company, is expanding its South Dakota footprint and creating hundreds of new jobs in the eastern part of the state.

TCF Bank will establish a contact and operations center in Sioux Falls in early 2012 and expects to have nearly 200 employees hired by October of next year. TCF Bank is looking primarily for inbound call-center associates and managers and operations support associates for the new facility on West 38th Street in Sioux Falls.

“South Dakota is widely known in the financial services industry for its highly-skilled workforce and its strong work ethic,” said Viane Hoefs, Director of Human Resources, TCF National Bank. “I am confident the Sioux Falls area will provide us with a great employee candidate pool to help augment TCF’s already solid customer service team.”

TCF Bank’s hiring schedule is staggered, but the company is already accepting applications for the nearly 200 new positions. People interested in applying should visit tcfbank.com or www.sdjobs.org .

“We’re excited to move forward with the hiring process,” said Hoefs. “We have an ambitious timeline, and would like to have the nearly 200 positions filled by July.

In 2009, TCF Bank relocated its charter from Minnesota to South Dakota and established a retail bank in Sioux Falls. Since then, the South Dakota Governor’s Office of Economic Development has worked with the company to create additional jobs in South Dakota.

“TCF Bank is a first-rate business that is bringing solid jobs to our state,” said South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard. “I’m pleased to have a growing relationship with the company and look forward to its continued success in South Dakota.”
