  • Virtual Card Numbers from Eno

    Eno, Capital One's virtual assistant, generates a unique virtual card number you can use for online purchases instead of your real card number. Your actual card number stays private, reducing exposure if a merchant's site is compromised. Use the Eno browser extension to create virtual numbers at checkout.

    Eligible items bought with your card get additional warranty protection beyond the manufacturer's original term at no extra cost. Pay for the item in full with your card to qualify. Review your benefits guide for which product categories are covered.

Fees & Miscellaneous

  • Card Lock

    Instantly lock your card from the Capital One Mobile app if it goes missing, blocking new purchases without closing your account. Unlock it just as quickly if the card turns up. The lock does not affect recurring charges already set up on the card.

    Resets: Yearly
  • 0% Intro APR on Purchases and Balance Transfers

    New cardholders pay 0% interest on purchases and balance transfers for the first 15 months. After that, a variable APR of 18.49%–28.49% kicks in. Note that a balance transfer fee applies to each transfer, so weigh that cost before moving existing debt over.

  • CreditWise from Capital One

    CreditWise monitors your TransUnion and Experian credit reports and sends an alert whenever something changes, such as a new account or inquiry. It's free and available to anyone — you don't need to be a Capital One cardholder to use it. Sign up through the Capital One app or website.

  • Security Alerts

    Capital One sends you a text, email, or phone alert if it spots potentially suspicious activity on your account. Alerts arrive in near real time so you can confirm or dispute a transaction quickly. Make sure your contact details are up to date in the app to receive them.
