Capital One rewrote the rules of banking technology from Richmond. Build financial platforms that meet the engineering standards this city's banking culture has established.
The Richmond Banking Technology Challenge
Capital One's relentless focus on building technology in-house — hiring engineers, data scientists, and product managers at the same pace as traditional tech companies — has fundamentally changed Richmond's banking technology expectations. Community banks and credit unions in the Richmond market can no longer compete for customers with poor digital experiences; Capital One has set expectations that every financial institution must meet. Building banking technology for Richmond means competing directly or indirectly with one of the most sophisticated financial technology teams in the world.
