Capital One® started with an idea crafted by founder Rich Fairbank in a single afternoon—a strategy that the company has stayed true to for nearly two decades. That idea was simple and revolutionary: Leverage the flexibility in credit cards and customize everything. Rich’s passion evolved into our Information-Based Strategy that transformed the credit card industry.

Capital One today is both a high-tech company and a scientific laboratory. We hire the best people to bring their intellect and creativity to develop the right products for the right customers—at the right price and time. What makes us different is how we unleash our analytical firepower in traditional industries, first in credit cards and more recently in auto finance and retail banking.

Named to the Fortune 500 within 10 years of our founding, Capital One continues to challenge associates to change the industry.
