Capital One - UK

At Capital One, we're on a mission to change banking for good.

You might think of us as a credit card provider. But we're a financial services company with technology at the heart of our business.

We look at credit the way tech companies look at everything – thinking of better, smarter and easier ways to do things that will really change the way people live.

We're driven by making finance simpler and more human for our customers, which makes Capital One an exciting place to work.

 

Life at Capital One might not be what you’d expect.

From day one, you’ll see our relaxed and supportive culture. We have a hybrid working set up, casual dress code and two impressive open-plan offices. You’ll also benefit from private healthcare, an onsite gym in Nottingham, a rooftop running track in London and a flexible investment scheme. And we’ll invest in your learning and development, so you can achieve your career goals.

If you want to grow your career, join us today.
