About Capital One:
At Capital One, we don't only think big things-we do big things. We were the first company to develop and offer mass customization and personalization of credit card products, and we have been innovating relentlessly ever since. Today, we are a nationally recognized brand, a top-10 bank, and on a journey to become a leading high-tech company and digital innovator touching over 65 million customer accounts. Founder-led, Capital One has grown to $28.5 billion in revenue in just over 20 years.
We consider ourselves the bank a technology company would build. We're delivering best-in-class innovation so that our 87 million customers - and counting - can manage their finances with ease. Our reality and vision empower us to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to transform real-time data, software, and algorithms into financial clarity. We're all-in on the cloud and are a leader in the adoption of open source. We build our own products and release them with a speed and agility that allows us to get new customer experiences to market quickly. We're going boldly where no bank has gone before. And, as a founder-led company, we're inspired to make, break, do, and do good.
About the card business:
In Card, we are on a Mission to Change Banking for Good each and every day-from the business choices we make to the interactions our agents have with our customers. We help our customers succeed by bringing ingenuity, simplicity, and humanity to banking. We measure our efforts by the success our customers enjoy and the advocacy they exhibit. We are succeeding because they are succeeding.
Financial decisions are some of the most complex choices people make, and 58% of Americans feel that finances control their life ( Capital One Mind Over Money Survey ). Our credit card business is powered by data and a passion to help people use credit wisely, so they can save money, save time and reduce stress. With industry-leading consumer card products more than 87 million card customers have made Capital One a trusted part of their financial lives. We're bringing simplicity to financial services with straightforward products that ensure customers get a clear and fair deal, whether they are new to credit, rebuilding their credit or have established credit. Capital One's investment in the financial health of Americans doesn't stop with just our customers. Products such as CreditWise and Capital One Shopping, both free to anyone, are extensions of our commitment to helping people find the best deal, manage their credit health, and take charge of their financial well-being.
