Capital One Financial is an American multinational financial services company that specializes in credit cards, home loans, auto loans, banking and savings products. The company operates across the United States as well as several other countries including Canada and the UK. Capital One has been around since 1988 when it was founded by Richard Fairbank and Nigel Morris.
In recent years, Capital One has begun to offer cryptocurrency-related services such as a cashback rewards program for Bitcoin purchases made with their debit or credit card. This reward system allows customers to earn up to 2% back in Bitcoin on eligible purchases they make using their cards from merchants who accept crypto payments via Bitpay or Coinbase Commerce platforms. Additionally, customers can use their Cash App service (available through Apple Pay) to purchase cryptocurrencies directly from select retailers within the app itself at no extra cost beyond what’s already charged for goods/services purchased through these vendors. Finally, users of the CapitalOne Investing platform have access to certain ETFs which track various cryptocurrency indices like CRIX (Cryptocurrency Index).
Custodial Crypto Services are also available from some branches of capital one allowing clients to securely store digital assets with them while avoiding technical challenges associated with managing private keys themselves . Clients can deposit any amount into this type of account but only amounts greater than $500 will be insured against theft or loss due losses incurred due cybercrime activities like hacks etc without insurance coverage thus providing additional safety features which may appeal more risk-averse investors looking into entering cryptospace markets
All this combined makes Capital One a great choice for those interested in getting involved in Cryptocurrencies either casually or professionally
