As it waits for regulators to approve its $35 billion acquisition of payments network Discover, Capital One is “fully mobilized to plan and deliver a successful integration.”
Adding Discover will make the $475 billion bank a more “diversified, vertically-integrated global payments platform,” and Discover’s payment volume generated from its 100 million customers will scale Capital One operations and reach, Chief Executive Richard Fairbank said during Capital One’s first-quarter earnings call on April 25.
All applications for regulatory approval have been filed, Fairbank added.
In the first quarter, Discover reported payment volume of $51.8 billion, flat year over year, on its Discover Network.
“The Capital One team is leading the integration planning process,” Michael Shepherd, chief executive of Discover, said during the company’s earnings call on April 18. “The process has achieved the first important milestone, the submission of the merger applications to the Federal Reserve and the [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency].”
Capital One will “leverage and scale the benefits of our 11-year technology transformation across every business and the network, which will serve as a catalyst for innovation and enhanced capabilities in risk management and compliance, underwriting, marketing and customer service,” Fairbank said on the April 25 call.
The merger’s tech cost is expected to be $2.8 billion, according to Bank Automation News’ prior reporting.

At the end of fiscal Q4, headcount was 29,069, up 0.4% YoY, while the number of branches in Canada remained relatively flat at 1,062, according to the bank’s earnings.
