# Capital One

The same corporation as two U.S. public registries record it — registries that share no common identifier.

## CFPB · consumer complaints (RECORDED)

**162,880** complaints name companies matching Capital One. Chiefly **CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION** (162,880) — drill down at `/finance/companies/capital-one-financial-corporation`.

| Product | Complaints |
| --- | --- |
| Credit card | 38,256 |
| Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports | 27,820 |
| Credit card or prepaid card | 26,578 |

## GLEIF · legal entities (RECORDED)

**41** entities in the GLEIF LEI registry carry a name matching "CAPITAL ONE": 24 active, 12 lapsed, 5 retired; 11 US-registered. Top non-US: DE (4), GB (3), PL (3), IN (3), KY (2).

> This count is a **name-match floor**, not an org chart — it includes funds, pension trusts, and SPVs that carry the brand, and misses subsidiaries under unrelated names. GLEIF Level-1 records carry no parent/child ownership, so these are not asserted to be Capital One's subsidiaries.

Sample entities:

- Capital One, National Association — issued (US)
- EMICAPITAL ONE SPC — lapsed (KY)
- C2 CAPITAL ONE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP — lapsed (GB)
- CAPITAL ONE INVESTMENT LTD — lapsed (WS)
- AXELL CAPITAL ONE S.R.L. — issued (RO)
- CAPITAL ONE SECURITIES, INC. — issued (US)
- ZEN CAPITAL ONE SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ SPÓŁKA KOMANDYTOWO - AKCYJNA — lapsed (PL)
- CAPITAL ONE ADVISERS SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ SPÓŁKA KOMANDYTOWA — lapsed (PL)

## The cross-registry link (DERIVED)

CFPB and GLEIF share no common entity ID, so associating these records as one corporation, Capital One, is a **name match** over the patterns "CAPITAL ONE" — robust for a distinctive brand, but never a verified ownership graph.

## What this is — and is NOT (interpretation)

A cross-registry **footprint** of public records — not a corporate org chart, not a due-diligence verdict, not advice about doing business with Capital One. Lapsed LEI registrations are neutral (usually an unpaid annual renewal). The complaint count is not a quality ranking; a complaint is an unverified allegation.
