Capital One Auto Wins 2026 Inc. Power Partner Award

PLANO, TX, October 20, 2026 – Capital One Auto, a division of Capital One National Association, has been named a 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards winner, recognizing the company among the leading B2B partners supporting entrepreneurs and businesses across the country.

“At Capital One Auto, we are committed to delivering solutions to help auto dealers create an amazing car buying experience for their customers,” said Sanjiv Yajnik, President of Financial Services at Capital One. “By embedding intuitive, scalable digital infrastructure directly into their operations, we empower dealers to focus on what they do best: building deep connections and serving as a trusted advisor to their customers.”

By unifying Auto Navigator, Leads Navigator, and Dealer Navigator into a single, connected ecosystem, Capital One Auto gives dealership teams direct visibility into a buyer’s exact financing, trade-in and vehicle preferences before conversations start. From AI-powered tools like ProtectID—which stopped nearly $150 million in auto lending fraud in 2025 alone—to multi-agent AI tool, Chat Concierge, which helps dealers connect with online shoppers 24/7 and answer questions in real time, Capital One Auto helps auto dealers modernize operations, reduce administrative friction, and nearly triple lead-to-sale conversion rates.

The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards honor B2B companies that have demonstrated a track record of helping entrepreneurs and businesses navigate the challenges of building and growing a company. From hiring and compliance to technology, infrastructure, fundraising, marketing, and more, these partners provide expertise and services that enable businesses to operate, scale, and pursue their ambitions.

“Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “The companies on this year’s Power Partners list have done just that. They don’t just have customers – they have superfans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they’ve proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed.”

Capital One Auto is dedicated to transforming the car buying experience for consumers and auto dealers through innovation, partnership, and technology that connects car buyers and dealers online and in-person to help make the car buying process more seamless and transparent.
