Strategic evolution
Operating model remains rooted in anticipating change, analytical rigor and customer focus; pace of change and breadth of opportunities have expanded sharply over the past six years.
Growth opportunities span core and adjacent businesses, payments and network, plus Discover, Brex, Capital One Shopping, travel and software.
Technology and data
Technology and data infrastructure support real-time customer targeting, more granular credit decisions, operational efficiency and new growth vectors across the P&L.
Customers increasingly expect proactive, real-time financial experiences; data consumption and analysis are central to meeting those expectations.
Software engineers can produce code at a materially different level than a year ago; J.D. Power ranked the bank first in large-bank customer satisfaction for six consecutive years.
Credit and consumer health
Credit tailwinds include declining pandemic-delayed charge-offs and recoveries from earlier elevated losses; decisioning choices and technology/data capabilities also support strong outcomes.
Credit decisions incorporated concerns about score inflation, stimulus-supported balance sheets and fintech debt missing bureau reports; growth was given up at the margin to support long-term outcomes.
Discover’s decisioning and collections practices, combined with existing capabilities, are contributing to improved selection and recovery.
Unemployment was 4.1% in the latest print, with 62 consecutive months below 5%; weekly wages and inflation have been roughly balanced in recent months.
Debt service and revolve rates remain stable, spend is healthy, payment rates have improved somewhat, and delinquencies and charge-offs are stable to slightly better recently.
