Last modified 09/29/2022

This Agreement governs your use of Capital One’s external account information collection services (the “Service”). We refer to Capital One and its affiliates and related entities as “we,” “us” and “our.” This includes Capital One Financial Corporation, Capital One, N.A. and each of their successors, assigns, agents, and representatives. Capital One’s offices are located at 1680 Capital One Drive, McLean, Virginia.

Before using the Service, please read this Agreement. You accept this Agreement by using the Service. If you don’t accept these terms, you may not use the Service.

This Agreement is in addition to other agreements that may apply to you, including your Capital One credit card, checking, savings, and/or auto loan account(s) (“Account” or “Accounts”) agreements and including our Online Banking Terms and Conditions. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and other policies or terms, solely as they apply to the Service this Agreement governs. The terms of this Agreement are not intended to modify any disclosures or other terms that are required by law. Please also visit www.capitalone.com/privacy for information about how Capital One collects, uses, and discloses personal information in connection with the Service.

  1. How it works. The Service allows Capital One to collect information related to your accounts with other companies, including banks and financial institutions (“External Account(s)”). For example, Capital One may collect information about a checking account you have with another bank.
     
  2. Accessing and Collecting Your Data. With your permission, we may access and collect information from your External Accounts (“External Account Information”). External Account information may include past and current balances, payment information and account transactions. 
     
  3. Use of External Account Information. We may use External Account Information to provide you with and improve our services. For example, if we collect your transaction history we may learn about your income and how you save and spend your money. We may match you with Capital One products and services you might like based on that information. We may also use External Account Information to conduct transactions you authorize, like an electronic funds transfer using your External Account number. 
     
  4. Authorization to Access Data; Using Service Providers. We’ll ask you to either (a) sign in directly on your External Account provider’s website; or (b) authorize our service provider to sign into your External Account provider’s website on your behalf using your login information. Your login information includes your username, password, security questions and answers, and other information. We will tell you if we use a service provider to access your External Account Information. You understand the service provider may have access to and may store your External Account Information and login information. This is in addition to information Capital One may receive. Any External Account Information held by the service provider is subject to the service provider’s privacy policy and any other terms of service to which you agree.

    Our current service providers include Finicity. You can view Finicity’s privacy policy at https://www.finicity.com/privacy/. We may use other third party service providers to access and collect External Account Information in the future.
     
  5. Your Credentials and Authorization to Access External Accounts. By presenting your login information to access an External Account, you represent that the login information is yours or you’re authorized to access the account. You also authorize us and our service providers to use your login information to retrieve External Account Information for all of your accounts with that provider.
     
  6. One-time and/or ongoing access. We will tell you if we intend to access your External Account Information more than once. And we will only do so with your authorization.
     
  7. Disconnecting an External Account. You can revoke our right to continue accessing an External Account at any time on the Capital One website.
     
  8. Accuracy and Availability. Your External Account provider(s) and our service providers, if applicable, are responsible for the accuracy and availability of your External Account Information. External Account Information may not be available from all financial institutions.
     
  9. Consumer Reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The External Account Information we obtain may be considered a consumer report subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. If required, you agree that Capital One has a permissible purpose under the FCRA to access any External Account Information.
