Diners Club Slovenia, which currently employs 40 people in Ljubljana, together with financial holding Findale Enterprises Ltd. recently bought Diners Club Italia from London-based Citibank Plc. Headquarters of Diners Club Italia will remain in Milan, but all other company’s credit cards related activities, which were in the past handled in Spain, India and UK, will be moved to Izola in South-Western Slovenia near the Italian border. As a result 120 new jobs will be created in Izola by the beginning of September 2008.
