Fidelity Investments is planning a $27.3 million new call center in Jacksonville, Fla., to handle calls from its retail investment banking customers.
The Boston company is seeking approval from city and state officials in Florida and if all goes well will open the facility by year's end, employing as many as 1,200 people. It would handle calls from customers of Fidelity Personal Investments, the company's unit that handles the accounts of individual investors who are not Fidelity clients via their retirement plans.
The personal investing unit already has four call centers in the US and Canada. As a whole, Fidelity has eight call centers, including one in Marlborough.
