Capital One Financial Corporation is an American bank holding company specializing in credit cards, auto loans, banking, and savings accounts, headquartered in McLean, Virginia with operations primarily in the United States.[3] It is on the list of largest banks in the United States and has developed a reputation for being a technology-focused bank.

The bank has 755 branches including 30 café style locations[4] and 2,000 ATMs. It is ranked 97th on the Fortune 500,[5] 9th on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For list,[6] and conducts business in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.[3] The company helped pioneer the mass marketing of credit cards in the 1990s.[7] In 2016, it was the 5th largest credit card issuer by purchase volume, after American Express, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Citigroup.[8]

With a market share of 5%, Capital One is also the second largest auto finance company in the United States, following Ally Financial.[9]

The company's three divisions are credit cards, consumer banking and commercial banking. In the fourth quarter of 2018, 75% of the company's revenues were from credit cards, 14% were from consumer banking, and 11% were from commercial banking.[3] Capital One has consistently ranked as one of the best places to work for, appearing in multiple Glassdoor's Best Places To Work reports.[10] In 2020, Fortune magazine ranked Capital One at number 24 on their Fortune List of the Top 100 Companies to Work For in 2020 based on an employee survey of satisfaction,[11] rising to 9 on the 2021 list.[12]

History[]

Richard Fairbank and Nigel Morris founded Capital One in 1988 with the support of Richmond, Virginia-based Signet Bank. Fairbank became the company's CEO on July 27, 1994, after Oakstone Financial was spun off from Signet Financial Corp. Oakstone Financial was later renamed to Capital One in October 1994, and the spin-off was completed in February 1995. The newly formed credit card company was ranked among the top ten credit card issuers in the United States after signing up more than five million customers. Capital One worked as a monoline, deriving all of its revenues from the credit card business. Even as a monoline, it succeeded in the credit card business due to its use of data collection to target personalized offers directly to consumers.[citation needed]

In 1996, Capital One moved from relying on teaser rates to generate new clients to adopting more innovative techniques that would attract more customers to their business model. At the time, it was losing customers to competitors who offered higher ceilings on loan balances and no-annual-fee accounts. The company came up with co-branded, secured, and joint account credit cards. In mid-1996, Capital One received approval from the federal government to set up Capital One FDB. It meant that the company could now retain and lend out deposits on secured cards and even issue automobile installment loans.[citation needed]

Monoline credit card company (1994–2004)[]

Capital One retail footprint

On July 21, 1994, Richmond, Virginia-based Signet Financial Corp (now part of Wells Fargo) announced the corporate spin-off of its credit card division, OakStone Financial, naming Richard Fairbank as CEO.[13] Signet renamed the subsidiary Capital One in October 1994.[14][15]

At that time, Capital One was a monoline bank, meaning that all of its revenue came from a single product, in this case, credit cards.[16] This strategy is risky in that it can lead to losses during bad times.[16] Capital One attributed its relative success as a monoline to its use of data collection to build demographic profiles, allowing it to target personalized offers of credit directly to consumers.[17]

Capital One began operations in Canada in 1996.

Expansion into auto loans (1996–present)[]

In 1996, Capital One expanded its business operations to the United Kingdom and Canada. This gave the company access to a large international market for its credit cards. An article appearing in the "Chief Executive" in 1997 noted that the company held $12.6 billion in credit card receivables and served more than nine million customers. The company was listed in the Standard & Poor's 500, and its stock price hit the $100 mark for the first time in 1998.[citation needed]

Throughout its history, Capital One has focused on making acquisitions of monolines in various related sectors. In 2005, the company acquired Louisiana-based Hibernia National Bank for $4.9 billion in cash and stock. It also acquired New York-based North Fork Bank for $13.2 billion in 2006. The acquisition of smaller banks reduced its dependency on the credit business alone. Other companies acquired by Capital One include Netspend for $700 million in 2007, Chevy Chase Bank for $520 in 2009, IDG Direction division for $9 billion in 2011, and General Electric's Healthcare Financial Services Unit for $9 billion in 2015.[citation needed]

During the subprime financial crisis of 2008, Capital One received $3.56 billion in investments from the US Treasury courtesy of the Troubled Asset Relief Program in 2008. The company was forced to close its mortgage division, GreenPoint Mortgage, due to the losses incurred by investors. It paid back $3.67 billion to the US Treasury for the repurchase of the company stock.[citation needed]

CapitalOne Café in Chicago

In July 1998, Capital One acquired auto financing company Summit Acceptance Corporation.[18]

In 1999, Capital One was looking to expand beyond credit cards. CEO Richard Fairbank announced moves to use Capital One's experience with collecting consumer data to offer loans, insurance, and phone service.[19][20]

In October 2001, PeopleFirst Finance LLC was acquired by Capital One.[21]

The companies were combined and re-branded as Capital One Auto Finance Corporation in 2003.[22]

In late 2002, Capital One and the United States Postal Service proposed a negotiated services agreement (NSA) for bulk discounts in mailing services.[23] The resulting three-year agreement[24] was extended in 2006.[25] In June 2008, however, Capital One filed a complaint[26] with the USPS regarding the terms of the next agreement,[27] citing the terms of the NSA of Capital One's competitor, Bank of America. Capital One subsequently withdrew its complaint to the Postal Regulatory Commission following a settlement with the USPS.[28]

Onyx Acceptance Corporation was acquired by Capital One in January 2005.[29]

Expansion into retail banking (2005–present)[]

While many other monolines were acquired by larger, diverse banks, Capital One expanded into retail banking with a focus on subprime customers.

Capital One acquired New Orleans, Louisiana-based Hibernia National Bank for $4.9 billion in cash and stock in 2005[30] and acquired Melville, New York-based North Fork Bank for $13.2 billion in cash and stock in 2006,[31] which reduced its dependency on credit cards from 90% to 55%.[32]

In 2007, Capital One acquired NetSpend, a marketer of prepaid debit cards, for $700 million.[33]

During the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis, Capital One closed its mortgage platform, GreenPoint Mortgage, due in part to investor pressures.[34][35][36]

In 2008, Capital One received an investment of $3.56 billion from the United States Treasury as a result of the Troubled Asset Relief Program.[37][38] On June 17, 2009, Capital One completed the repurchase of the stock the company issued to the U.S. Treasury paying a total of $3.67 billion, resulting in a profit of over $100 million to the U.S. Treasury.[39]

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission criticized Capital One's conduct during the crisis, claiming that they understated auto loan losses during the financial crisis of 2007–2008. In 2013, Capital One paid $3.5 million to settle the case, but was not required to directly address the allegations of wrongdoing.[40]

In February 2009, Capital One acquired Chevy Chase Bank for $520 million in cash and stock.[41][42][43][44]

In January 2011, Capital One acquired Canada-based Hudson's Bay Company's private credit card portfolio from Synchrony Financial, then known as GE Financial.[45]

In June 2011, ING Group announced the sale of its ING Direct division to Capital One for $9 billion in cash and stock.[46] On August 26, 2011, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors announced it would hold public hearings on the Capital One acquisition of ING Direct, and extend to October 12, 2011, the public comment period that had been scheduled to end August 22.[47] The move came amidst rising scrutiny of the deal on systemic risk, or "Too-Big-to-Fail," performance under the Community Reinvestment Act, and pending legal challenges. A coalition of national civil rights and consumer groups, led by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, were joined by Rep. Barney Frank to challenge immediate approval of the deal. The groups argued that the acquisition was a test of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, under which systemically risky firms must demonstrate a public benefit that outweighs new risk before they are allowed to grow. Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank head Thomas M. Hoenig was also skeptical of the deal.[48][49] In February 2012, the acquisition was approved by regulators and Capital One completed its acquisition of ING Direct.[50] Capital One received permission to merge ING into its business in October 2012,[51] and rebranded ING Direct as Capital One 360 in November 2012.[52]

In April 2011, Capital One signed a deal with Kohl's to handle Kohl's private label credit card program that was previous serviced by Chase Bank for a seven-year period for an undisclosed amount.[53] The contract between the two companies was extended in May 2014.[54]

In August 2011, Capital One reached a deal with HSBC to acquire its U.S. credit card operations.[55] Capital One paid $31.3 billion in exchange for $28.2 billion in loans and $600 million in other assets. The acquisition was completed in May 2012.[56] The acquisition also included private issued credit cards for such companies as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Lord & Taylor that were previously handled by HSBC.[57]

On February 26, 2012, along with several other banks, Capital One announced support for the Isis Mobile Wallet payment system.[58] However, in September 2013, Capital One dropped support for the venture.[59]

In 2012, Capital One closed 41 branch locations.[60]

In 2015, Capital One closed several branch locations to leave 174 operating branches in the D.C. metro area.[61]

On February 19, 2014, Capital One became a 25% owner in ClearXchange, a Peer-to-peer transaction money transfer service designed to make electronic funds transfers to customers within the same bank and other financial institutions via mobile phone number or email address.[62] ClearXchange was sold to Early Warning in 2016.[63]

In January 2015, Capital One acquired Level Money, a budgeting app for consumers.[64]

On July 8, 2015, the company acquired Monsoon, a design studio, development shop, marketing house and strategic consultancy.[65]

In 2015, Capital One acquired General Electric's Healthcare Financial Services unit, which included $8.5 billion in loans made to businesses in the healthcare industry, for $9 billion.[66]

In October 2016, Capital One acquired Paribus, a price tracking service, for an undisclosed amount.[67][68]

In July 2019, Capital One signed a deal with Walmart to handle Walmart's private label and co-branded credit card programs that was previously serviced by Synchrony Financial.[69]

Exit from mortgage banking (2006–2007 and 2011–2017)[]

In November 2017, President of Financial Services Sanjiv Yajnik announced that the mortgage market was too competitive in the low rate environment to make money in the business.[70] The company exited the mortgage origination business on November 7, 2017, laying off 1,100 employees.[71] This was the second closure; the first occurred on August 20, 2007, when GreenPoint Mortgage unit was closed.[72] GreenPoint had been acquired December 2006 when Capital One paid $13.2 billion to North Fork Bancorp Inc. The re-emergence into the mortgage industry came in 2011 with the purchase of online bank ING Direct USA.[73]

Other acquisitions[]

In May 2018, the company acquired Confyrm, a digital identity and fraud alert service.[74][75][76]

In November 2018, Capital One acquired Wikibuy, a shopping comparison app and browser extension from an Austin, Texas start-up business; Wikibuy has no connection with Wikipedia/Wikimedia.[77]

Divisions[]

Capital One operates 3 divisions as follows:[3]

  • Credit cards – Capital One issues credit cards in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom and is the 3rd largest credit card issuer, after JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup. As of December 31, 2018, Capital One had $107.350 billion in credit card loans outstanding in the United States and $9.011 billion of credit card loans outstanding in Canada and the United Kingdom, with credit cards representing 47.3% of total loans outstanding.[3]
  • Consumer banking – offers banking services, including checking accounts, saving accounts, and money market accounts via its branches and direct bank as well as retail and auto loans. As of December 31, 2018, the company had $2.864 billion in retail loans outstanding and $56.341 billion in car finance loans outstanding, representing 22.9% of total loans outstanding.[3]
  • Commercial banking – As of December 31, 2018, Capital One had $70.333 billion in loans outstanding secured by commercial, multifamily, and industrial properties, representing 28.6% of total loans outstanding.[3]

Sports marketing[]

Since 2001, Capital One has been the principal sponsor of the college football Florida Citrus Bowl, which has been called the Capital One Bowl since 2003.[78] It sponsors a mascot challenge every year, announcing the winner on the day of the Capital One Bowl. The name of the stadium was changed in 2014 to the Orlando Citrus Bowl and was then changed again to Camping World Stadium in 2016, following a multi-year naming rights sponsorship with Camping World.[79]

Capital One is one of the top three sponsors of the NCAA, paying an estimated $35 million annually in exchange for advertising and access to consumer data.[80][81] Capital One also sponsored the EFL Cup, an English Soccer Competition, from 2012 to 2016. The company sponsored Sheffield United F.C. from 2006 to 2008. In 2017, the company became the sponsor of the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C.[82][83]

In 2018, to celebrate the Washington Capitals' second-ever Stanley Cup Finals appearance, the firm temporarily changed its logo by replacing the word "Capital" with the Capitals' titular logo, without the "s" plural.[84][85]

Corporate citizenship[]

Capital One operates some charitable programs, such as the "No Hassle Giving" web portal, in which Capital One covers the transaction fees on customer and non-customer donations made through the site.[86] The accountability organization National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy has been highly critical of Capital One's relatively low rate of giving, stating that "Capital One's philanthropic track record is dismal".[87] The organization pointed out that Capital One's donations of 0.024% of revenue were much less than the industry median of 0.11% of revenue.[87] Capital One has disputed the groups figures, saying that "... In 2011 alone, our giving totals are more than 6 times greater ($30 million) than the number given by the NCRP".[88]

Criticism and legal actions[]

Fines for misleading customers to pay extra for services[]

In July 2012, Capital One was fined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for misleading millions of its customers, such as paying extra for payment protection or credit monitoring when they took out a card.[89] The company agreed to pay $210 million to settle the legal action and to refund two million customers.[90] This was the CFPB's first public enforcement action.[91]

Automated dialing to customers' phones[]

In August 2014, Capital One and three collection agencies entered into an agreement to pay $75.5 million to end a consolidated class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that the companies used an automated dialer to call customers' cellphones without consent, which is a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991.[92] It is notable that this legal action involved informational telephone calls, which are not subject to the "prior express written consent" requirements which have been in place for telemarketing calls since October 2013.[93]

2014 amendment to terms of use to allow personal visits[]

In 2014, Capital One amended its terms of use to allow it to "contact you in any manner we choose", including a "personal visit . . . at your home and at your place of employment." It also asserted its right to "modify or suppress caller ID and similar services and identify ourselves on these services in any manner we choose."[94] The company stated that it would not actually make personal visits to customers except "As a last resort, . . . if it becomes necessary to repossess [a] sports vehicle".[94] Capital One also attributed its assertion of a right to "spoof" as necessary because "sometimes the number is 'displayed differently' by 'some local phone exchanges,' something that is 'beyond our control'".[95]

July 2019 security breach[]

Capital One publicly acknowledged on July 29, 2019 that they had found unauthorized access had occurred ten days earlier by an individual who had breached the account and identity security of 106 million people in the United States and Canada.[96] The FBI arrested Paige Thompson, who had previously worked as a software engineer for Amazon Web Services, Capital One's cloud hosting company. Capital One declared that Thompson had accessed about 140,000 Social Security numbers, a million Canadian social insurance numbers; 80,000 bank account numbers, and an unknown number of names and addresses of customers. Capital One began offering free credit monitoring services to those affected by the breach.[97][98]

Thompson's employment at Amazon appears to have ended in September 2016. Amazon stated that the security vulnerability she used to access Capital One could have been discovered by anyone, the information that facilitated her activity was not gained from work at Amazon, and that she gained access via "a misconfiguration of the (Capital One-designed) web application and not the underlying (Amazon-designed) cloud-based infrastructure".[99]

Details of the breach[]

Forensic analysis[vague] determined Thompson's actual hacking activity occurred in March 2019, then she posted the information to different outlets over the next three months. In April she posted what came to be known[by whom?] as the "April 21 Files", a trove of leaked data along with instructions on how to access the company's credentials for more data extraction. In July a white-hat alerted Capital One to Thompson's hacking activity. Thompson pleaded not guilty to charges of wire fraud and computer fraud and abuse. During the investigations and subsequent data freeze, millions of Capital One accounts were locked; their owners were unable to process financial transactions, meet payments, or gain access to their financial records.[100]

Capital One Response[]

Critics lambasted the bank's effort to downplay the hack while investigations were ongoing, and described the bank as more concerned about its image than the needs of its clients. Several Capital One customers stated that the first time they heard about the hack was through the media and the bank did not disclose the breach or explain its implications to affected customers.[101] On social media and in the mainstream press, Capital One's contradictory July 2019 press statement was mocked[102][103] for saying "No bank account numbers or Social Security numbers were compromised," but then listing hundreds of thousands of bank account numbers and social security numbers that were compromised.

Federal Reserve Action[]

On August 6, 2020, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors announced a cease and desist order against Capital One resulting from the breach.[104] The order mandated, among other things, significant improvements in Capital One's governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) practices.

Lawsuits[]

Lawsuits were filed against Capital One and its employees in federal[105] and circuit courts.[106]

Additional Lawsuits were filed against both Amazon and Github, alleging they were aware of the exploit but did not act to fix or patch the vulnerability[107]

Government investigations[]

Relative to other large banks, Capital One has received fewer sanctions or default judgments against it.[citation needed] But some[who?] allude this is a result of its close proximity to Washington, D.C. and possible relations with federal regulators.[citation needed] In 2015 the bank disclosed that it was under federal investigation for bank fraud, money laundering, and possible racketeering charges. No further information was given and government investigators would only confirm that it was under scrutiny for "unspecified charges".[108]

In 2018, Capital One was fined $100 million for failure to monitor, detect, and prevent money laundering.[109] Charging documents[110] specified Capital One failed to file suspicious activity reports, had deficiencies in its risk assessment, remote deposit capture and generally had weaknesses that compromised national bank security controls. The bank was the subject of a larger investigation that alleged funds were siphoned out of US jurisdiction to safe havens.
