If your card is lost or stolen, you should report it immediately. You have two ways to report it:

With a Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) you get the convenience of using your personal bank account to automatically make payments to your Capital One credit card every month.

A PAD is an automatic withdrawal from your personal bank account initiated by a company or a financial institution (Capital One) that has your authority to do so. PADs are often used as a convenient way to make recurring payments to an organization or transfer investment funds on an ongoing basis.

Please note that Pre-Authorized Debit isn’t available for the SaksFirst Credit Card, Hudson’s Bay Mastercard ^® or Hudson’s Bay Credit Card.

Don’t worry, we can help you transfer your payment to the correct Capital One credit card. Identify which account the payment was mistakenly made to, and which account the payment should have been made to. Contact us and have your account numbers on hand. Please note that it may take a few days for the transfer to be completed.

Please identify which account the overpayment was made to and call your bank to request that they send an Authorization to Debit form to Capital One. This will give your bank permission from Capital One to return the overpaid funds back to your bank account. Please note that it may take a few days for the transfer to be completed.

To ensure we comply with federal laws and regulations during the application process, we will ask an applicant to provide their full name, full address, phone number, date of birth, employer and occupation information. For each authorized user added to the account, we will ask for that person’s full name, full address, phone number and date of birth. ‘Know Your Customer (“KYC”)’ requirements also require us to verify the information that you provided, using independent data sources. Capital One will attempt to do this electronically or if unable to do that, by asking you to provide government issued identification in person at a Canada Post office location.

In addition to verifying our customers’ identities, KYC regulations require federally regulated institutions to continue being aware of our customers and their transactions. To assist with keeping a customer’ s information up to date, customers may be asked to verify the accuracy of these details from time to time. If customers are unable to do so, the account may be restricted or closed.

Money laundering occurs when criminals try to use financial institutions as a means to launder their dirty money, giving the clean money an appearance of legitimacy as well as distancing it from its criminal sources. Once cleaned, the money is used in society and becomes comingled with legitimate currency. To manage money laundering risks, Capital One complies with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Terrorist Financing (ATF) regulations and takes its role in combatting AML/ATF very seriously. AML/ATF laws require us to know new and existing customers and this is managed through requirements called Know Your Customer (“KYC”). KYC requirements are a subset of AML/ATF regulations which require Capital One to collect identifying data about our customers and independently verify this information before we provide credit to our card holders. If we are unable to ascertain the identity of new customers as per the KYC requirements, we are by law not able to extend credit.

In addition to verifying our customers’ identities, KYC regulations require federally regulated institutions to continue being aware of our customers and their transactions. To assist with keeping a customer’s information up to date, customers may be asked to verify the accuracy of these details from time to time. If customers are unable to do so, the account may be restricted or closed.

At Capital One our top priority is our customers – we work hard to ensure that our customers’ expectations of service are met and even surpassed. We want to hear from you if this doesn’t happen.
