“Alexa, ask Capital One, how much did I spend?”

Open the Alexa app, tap Skills in the menu, and search for Capital One. Then tap Enable and follow the prompts:

1. Accept terms and conditions
2. Enter your Capital One account credentials
3. Create an optional personal key

When your account has been successfully paired, you'll see a screen that says, “Your Capital One skill was successfully linked.”

After you enable the skill, you also need to link your Capital One account to Alexa. Open the Alexa app on your phone, find the Capital One skill, and tap “Link Account.” Follow the instructions from there. You’ll know you’re done when you see a screen that says, “Your Capital One Skill was successfully linked.”

When you enable the Capital One skill, you enter your Capital One username and password. This lets Alexa access your Capital One information, but don’t worry – we don’t share your sign-in info with Amazon (or anyone else).

No way. We don’t share your sign-in info with Amazon (or anyone else).

As long as the skill is enabled, Alexa will be linked up to your Capital One accounts. If you don't want to let Alexa access your account info anymore, you’ll have to disable the Capital One skill. To do that, open your Alexa app and go to the Capital One skill, then click on Disable and your account will be de-linked. Keep in mind that once you disable the Capital One skill you won’t be able to ask Alexa about your Capital One account anymore.

Nope!

You'll disable and then re-enable your Capital One skill to create a new key or delete an existing key.

• Find out how much you spent on your credit card by asking Alexa instead of searching for that information online. You can ask how much you’ve spent on a specific day, within a certain date range, or at a major vendor. Things like, “What did I spend between October 1st and October 31st?” or “How much did I spend at Starbucks last month?”
• You can tell us exactly how much you want to pay toward your monthly bill. It’s your choice: minimum payment, statement balance, current balance or an amount you decide is right for you.
• If you didn’t hear what Alexa said the first time, or just want to hear it again, simply say, “Repeat.”

You can get detailed info about your Capital One checking account, savings account and credit card account. The Capital One skill doesn't have information about any of your non-Capital One accounts at other banking institutions. We're working on adding info about other Capital One accounts like home loans and auto loans, but right now you can find out about:

• Your account balances for your credit card, checking account and savings account
• Your recent transactions for your credit card, checking account and savings account
• Your credit card bill due date
• Your available credit on your credit card
• To pay your credit card bill
• Your account summary

That’s what we really want to know! You can ask her about your Capital One checking, savings, and credit card accounts. Now you can also get details on your auto loan.

Hearing how you interact with Alexa and the language you use to talk about your money will help us continue to design the best experience for you. Try a few examples below to get started:

We're hard at work developing new capabilities, and transferring money is one of them – but it’s not in the starting lineup of features. We'll keep www.capitalone.com/applications/alexa updated as new features are released.

Alexa was making some updates to her brain. Try asking again in a few minutes. If you want immediate account access, you can sign in to your account online and get it the old-fashioned way.

For any Echo related questions, please contact Amazon customer service.

Whenever you want! Alexa is always on and ready to give you account info… unless of course your Amazon Echo is turned off.

It depends. Anyone within earshot will be able to hear what Alexa says. And anyone with access to your Amazon Echo will be able to ask it questions about your account(s) UNLESS you create a personal key, an extra layer of security you can use to lock your skill. But either way, no one will ever have access to your Capital One username and password.

It could be that your username and/or password aren’t right. Double check the username and password you're using, and if you still can't sign in, or if you forgot your username and/or password, visit the Capital One Mobile app or website to retrieve your sign-in info.
