As one of the top 10 bankcard issuers in the United States, Capital One has just been voted number 3 in the Sunday Times top 50 companies to work for in Britain and we have experienced record growth, surpassing 20 percent earnings growth every year since the company was formed in 1995. We’re an organisation with over 29.4 million accounts worldwide, and has 20,000 new customers joining us each and every day.

Ranked as one of America’s finest, and armed with a unique approach to information, we’ve already successfully expanded into the United Kingdom and Canada and have now set our sights on further international expansion. We currently employ more than 17,000 associates across the globe.

Capital One Bank was established in the UK in 1996 to offer credit cards to European customers, and in 1998 the Rt. Hon. John Prescott MP opened Trent House; our first Operations Centre outside of the USA.

In 1999, the Business continued to grow, reaching the ‘one million customers’ mark in the UK.

Capital One Bank (Europe) plc was formed in September 2000 to support a highly flexible platform for continued expansion both in the UK and internationally. This provides an opportunity for the introduction of new business, outside of the traditional credit card arena, including savings accounts and lending products.

The growth for the remainder of 2000 continued to be fast-paced at Capital One, so much so that as our customer base increased, our current building space began to fill up beyond everyone’s expectations. As a result, and with the support of a grant from the UK Government, Capital One has already started work on a new development that will be adjacent to the existing Nottingham-based Operations Centre.

The new site, to be completed by late 2001, will house a range of functions and departments to support our growing business, and create an additional 1,500 jobs.
