Vision
In 2024, Capital One celebrated 30 years as a public company. We were founded on the belief that we could use data, analytics, scientific testing and statistical modeling–what we called an information-based strategy–to reimagine banking. We worked to create a technology company that does banking and that could deliver breakthrough products and services to customers who had traditionally been left behind by the banking industry.
At Capital One, everything begins and ends with great people. From the very beginning, we set out to build the kind of company we wanted to work for, with the people we wanted to work with. We have cultivated an open culture of ideas where all associates have a voice, independent of their titles. We seek out feedback and cherish the opportunity to improve. We elevate others and celebrate our differences.
