In May 2025, Capital One completed its $35.3 billion all-stock acquisition of Discover Financial Services, following regulatory approvals including from the Federal Reserve in April 2025, enabling integration of Discover's credit card portfolio, PULSE payment network, and Diners Club International into its offerings while committing to a $265 billion Community Benefits Plan for lending, investment, and community services. The company plans subsequent product launches leveraging the Discover network, including expanded credit and debit card solutions on the combined platforms, and has begun migrating Discover accounts into the Capital One Mobile app ecosystem as of late 2025.
