Capital One, based outside of the nation’s capital in Virginia, offers a variety of personal and business banking products. The bank — one of the 10 largest in the U.S. by consolidated assets — operates 300 branches in nine markets. It offers a savings and checking account as well as CDs and deposit accounts for kids and teens.
Capital One’s 360 Checking account features no monthly fees, including overdraft fees, and no minimum balance or deposit requirements. Accounts earn an annual percentage yield (APY) of 0.10%. You’ll get access to your paycheck up to two days early when you sign up for direct deposit, and you’ll have more than 70,000 fee-free ATMs available for cash withdrawals.
You can manage your account by using the Capital One Mobile app or an ATM to make deposits and withdraw cash, or by mailing checks for deposit. If you need paper checks, you’ll get your first checkbook free.
The 360 Performance Savings account earns an APY of 4.25%, charges no monthly fees, and requires no initial deposit and no balance minimums. You can open an account in about five minutes online, on the mobile app or at a Capital One location. You’ll be able to manage deposits, perform transfers and track your savings using the app.
Capital One also has 360 CD accounts with no minimum balance required to open a CD. Terms range from six months to 60 months, and early withdrawal penalties apply. The bank currently offers three promotional rates: a one-year online CD with a 5.00% APY, a two-year online CD with a 4% APY and a five-year online CD with a 3.90% APY.
For customer service, you can connect in person at a Capital One Café or branch, call 877-383-4802 from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time seven days a week, or search the Support Center by topic. You can also try to chat with Eno, the virtual assistant, on the mobile app to get the answers you need.

Performance Savings
I opened savings accounts with CIT Bank, Marcus, UFB Direct and Capital One. Most of these banks have lower reviews and I'm glad I did not rely on those reviews. First off, most of these online banks are regularly featured on sites that share with you the offerings of different banks. Do your own research and look at the bank stat or their parent organization's health.
I'm not sure if I've just had the best of luck with the four accounts I opened with the four different banks but I just don't understand all the negative reviews. Some just silly like the transfer limits, transfer times, etc. Most info are available online or if not, ask before opening your account. Also, online banking does not mean faster banking. And if you want a live person and constant/immediate access to your money, go to a Chase branch and earn 0.1% on your money.
The interest rate on my Performance Savings account is not the highest but I took advantage of a bonus promo on a six-figure deposit and it will bring it up to par with the other accounts I opened. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Capital One. From opening the account, making transfers, calls to customer support had short wait times and questions answered promptly. Between the credit card and the savings account I have with Capital One, I am pretty satisfied customer.
Enjoying Banking. Great Year !
I have a capital one Walmart card that post right away but my Capital One Visa card takes 7 to 10 days to post.
Not sure why. Sometimes when I pay it the day before I end up having to pay a late fee then I have to call them and they reverse it. It's like 20 or $29 just to hassle it's probably a class action lawsuit waiting to have been. Overall , I’m enjoying my capital one bank account . It’s been a great year so far. They let my business grant funded through that IG dude @creditsavy hit smoothly. Funding stage to withdrawal stage was a breeze .
Great Bank
I have a savings account with Capital One. I've never had any troubles. I like how easy it is to manage through the app.
Beware: They Cheat Existing Customers
I've been a Capital One 360 customer for many years. I logged in recently to see if my interest rate went up (because in 2022 the rates are going up), and I was still at 0.3%. They advertise 3% but keep their older accounts at 0.3% for people who don't check. I don't want to do business with a company like that.
