Capital One – About Us

The Capital One Group is a top ten credit card issuer in both the UK and United States, with more than $105.5 billion in managed loans and 49 million world-wide customers.  In 1996 Capital One launched its first overseas operation in the UK where the UK bank currently offers credit cards to UK customers.

Focus on innovation
Capital One's culture encourages innovation and enterpreneurism. This can be evidenced by the introduction in 1992 of 'balance transfer' concept, allowing credit cardholders to move their balances to Capital One at more favourable interest rates. The strategy revolutionised the U.S. card market and brought lower rates for millions of customers. This has helped Capital One grow from one million customers at the end of 1990 to 49 million to date. Now Capital One is bringing lower standard rates and superior service to UK customers with innovative products like the 6.9% APR typical variable Capital One No Hassle® Platinum with Identity Theft assistance.

One of the best workplaces in the UK
In December 1997 Capital One indicated its long-term commitment to the UK and European markets by establishing £30m Operations Centre in Nottingham.  The centre performs a number of business functions including application processing, customer service, product design and marketing, card issuing, collections, business development and database management.  In 2005 Capital One was voted one of the best workplaces in the UK in both the Sunday Times Top 100 and the Financial Times Top 50 reports.
