Cap One Bids for Debit Card Share with an ACH-Based Card
(June 7, 2007) A new Capital One Financial Corp. MasterCard debit card that Cap One can market nationwide like a credit card has the potential to vault the financial-services company into the top ranks of debit card issuers and help MasterCard Worldwide swipe debit market share from Visa USA, the payments expert who this week released word of the product says. The rewards debit card, which McLean, Va.-based Cap One is cobranding with merchants, is not linked to any accounts held by Cap One or Hibernia Bank, a bank Cap One acquired two years ago. Instead, the financial-services company, which made its name as an innovative credit card marketer, will issue the card to consumers across the country and then debit their checking accounts through the automated clearing house. By severing the historical tie between debit cards and demand-deposit accounts, Cap One can market the card to virtually anyone with a checking account.
