For years, Capital One (formerly known as Capital One 360) was the leader in online banking. Its money market and high-yield savings accounts truly had the highest yields, and its CDs and checking accounts consistently topped yield charts too. Unfortunately, yields and fees at Capital One are no longer best in class. If you have an account at this Internet banking giant, is it time to move it? Or is it worth staying put (or even transferring your money to Capital One)? This review gives a detailed overview of banking at Capital One.
Quick Summary
What Is Capital One Banking?Capital One was founded by Richard D. Fairbank ad Nigel Morris in 1988 as the credit card division of Signet Financial Corp. In 1994, the division was spun-out into its own company and renamed Capital One with Fairbank named its CEO. Over 25 years later, Fairbank still serves as Capital One's CEO. And under his leadership, the company's financial products have steadily grown. In 2012, it acquired ING Direct and rebranded the banking products as Capital One 360. Now, Capital One mostly refers to its banking division as Capital One Bank, but many of its underlying products still use the "360" prefix. Today, Capital One as a whole is the fifth-largest consumer bank in the U.S. and eighth-largest bank overall. What Does It Offer?Capital One is a huge brand, and it issues credit cards, auto loans, and more. Here are a few of its most important banking products. 360 CheckingAs will all Capital One banking account, there are no monthly fees for 360 Checking. And you’ll earn an annual percentage yield of 0.10% on all balances. You could also receive your direct deposit paychecks up to two days early. Capital One doesn’t reimburse ATM fees from other banks, but users can use 70,000+ Capital One, MoneyPass® and Allpoint® ATMs for free.

It was recently announced that Capital One and CVS® have partnered up to offer another way for customers to deposit cash. Now, you can select the "Add Cash in Store" option inside the Capital One mobile app to make a deposit with a CVS cashier.

You can easily have as many high-yield savings accounts as you want. In my experience, savings accounts are one of the best ways to ensure that you’re funding all your important goals. If you get paid regularly (or even if you don’t), you may want to set up an automatic savings plan that transfers money from a checking account to a savings account. These are easy to set up and adjust with Capital One. See how Capital One 360 Performance Savings compares to other top online savings accounts.

Are There Any Fees?Capital One doesn’t charge any monthly fees. You also won't pay any fees for making cash withdrawals if you use one of the 70,000+ ATMs that are part of Capital One's network. Cash deposits are also free if you use a Capital One-branded ATM. It's unclear, though, if a fee will apply if you deposit cash at a CVS location. If you use a Capital One debit card in a foreign country, you don’t have to pay a foreign transaction fee. That's great news if you're a frequent international traveler. Note that Capital One charges $35 for overdrafts, however it offers three options to help you avoid this fee. The first option is Auto-Decline which, as the name suggests, simply won't allow overdraft transactions to go through. The second option is Next Day Grace which gives you a full business day to replace the overdraft amount without incurring the $35 fee. And, finally, you can choose Free Savings Transfer which moves funds automatically from your 360 Performance Savings account to cover the transaction without charging you any fees. How Does Capital One Bank Compare?While 0.40% on a savings account is a solid yield in today's low-rate environment, it's a tad lower than other top online banks such as Chime and Axos Banks. Also, many online banks will reimburse you for other bank’s ATM fees. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with Capital One. Here's a quick look at how Capital One Bank compares:
How Do I Open An Account?Capital One Bank has one of the fastest account opening processes you'll find. It only takes about 5 minutes whether you open your account online or in person.

Is It Worth It?Overall, Capital One has a solid suite of banking products and it makes it easy to manage your account online or on the go. But its yields are slightly lower than the best that are available today. If you’re looking for the top yield, we recommend Chime, CIT Bank, Axos, or Ally Bank rather than Capital One.
