where our customers and associates live and work
When our communities thrive, so do our people, and so does Capital One. That’s why we’re helping to
expand economic opportunities for our communities through a comprehensive approach we call Investing
for Good. We’re providing millions of dollars in philanthropic grants. We’re financing multi-million-dollar
affordable-housing developments and providing access to banking products and services. And our great people

and taught the basics of
money management to
more than 60,000 people.
