OREANDA-NEWS. For the second year in a row, Discover has been selected as a top company in Utah by the Best of State award program. Discover’s Utah Customer Care Center in Lake Park was named Top Financial Services provider in the Business Services category.

“Since Discover’s launch 30 years ago, we have focused on doing the right thing for our customers, employees and communities,” said Clint Morley, vice president at Discover's Customer Care Center in Lake Park. “Being recognized as a Best of State company for two years in a row is a reflection of our dedication to our goals and drives us to continue to provide best-in-class service for our customers, professional development for our employees, and invest in charitable efforts in the communities around us.”
