credit environment);

· financial, legal, regulatory, tax or accounting changes or actions, including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and the

regulations promulgated thereunder;

· the possibility that regulatory and other approvals and conditions to the ING Direct acquisition are not received or

satisfied on a timely basis or at all;

· the possibility that modifications to the terms of the ING Direct acquisition may be required in order to obtain or satisfy

such approvals or conditions;


· changes in the anticipated timing for closing the ING Direct acquisition;

· difficulties and delays in integrating Capital One's and ING Direct's businesses or fully realizing projected cost savings

and other projected benefits of the ING Direct acquisition;


· business disruption during the pendency of or following the ING Direct acquisition;


· the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth;


· diversion of management time on acquisition-related issues;


· reputational risks and the reaction of customers and counterparties to our acquisitions;


· changes in asset quality and credit risk as a result of the ING Direct acquisition;


· developments, changes or actions relating to any litigation matter involving us;


· increases or decreases in interest rates;

· our ability to access the capital markets at attractive rates and terms to capitalize and fund our operations and future

growth;


· the success of our marketing efforts in attracting and retaining customers;

thereof, including increases or decreases resulting from factors such as shifting product mix, amount of actual marketing
expenses we incur and attrition of loan balances;

relating to such requests, the success rates of claimants against us, any developments in litigation and the actual recoveries
we may make on any collateral relating to claims against us;


· the amount and rate of deposit growth;

· changes in the reputation of or expectations regarding the financial services industry or us with respect to practices,

products or financial condition;


· any significant disruption in our operations or technology platform;

to realize than expected;

and the accompanying prospectus to help you understand the offering of the notes. You should read this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents we incorporate by reference, carefully to understand

8-K filed on July 13, 2011, to determine whether an investment in the notes is appropriate for you. This prospectus

Capital One
We are a diversified banking corporation whose principal subsidiaries, Capital One, N.A., and Capital One Bank (USA),
N.A., offer a broad spectrum of financial products and services to consumers, small businesses and commercial clients. For more
information on Capital One, see the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. Our principal executive office is located at 1680 Capital One Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102 (telephone number
(703) 720-1000).
Recent Developments
During the past several years, we have explored opportunities to acquire financial services companies and financial assets
and enter into strategic partnerships as part of our growth strategy. For example, in June 2011, we announced the ING Direct
acquisition as described below. In addition, we acquired the credit card loan portfolios of, and entered into credit card
partnership agreements with, Kohl's Corp., Sony Corporation and Hudson's Bay Company during the past two years, and we
acquired Chevy Chase Bank in February 2009. We continue to evaluate and anticipate engaging in additional strategic
partnerships and selected acquisitions of financial institutions and other financial assets, including credit card and other loan
portfolios. We may issue common stock or debt in connection with future acquisitions, including in public offerings, to fund such
acquisitions.
Acquisition of ING Direct
On June 16, 2011, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with ING Groep N.V., ING Bank N.V., ING Direct N.V.,
ING Direct Bancorp, collectively, the Sellers, under which we will acquire substantially all of the Sellers' ING Direct business
in the United States in exchange for $6.2 billion in cash and approximately 55.9 million shares of our common stock, subject to
certain adjustments described in the purchase and sale agreement, valued at $2.9 billion based on a share price of $52.55, the
10-day average of our common stock closing prices for the period ended July 8, 2011. We will effect the transaction through
(i) the acquisition of the equity interests of ING Bank, fsb, (ii) the acquisition of the equity interests of each of WS Realty, LLC
and ING Direct Community Development LLC and (iii) the acquisition of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities
of ING Direct Bancorp. References in this prospectus supplement to "ING Direct" or the "ING Direct business" are intended to
refer to the businesses and assets purchased pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement.
We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering, along with cash sourced from current liquidity and the proceeds from the
Common Stock Offering (as defined below), to fund the $6.2 billion in cash consideration payable in connection with the ING
Direct acquisition. Our board of directors and the boards of directors of the Sellers have unanimously approved the ING Direct
acquisition, which is expected to close in late 2011 or early 2012.

Table of Contents
At the closing of the ING Direct acquisition, we and one or more of the Sellers will enter into a shareholders agreement,
pursuant to which the Sellers will have the right to designate one nominee to serve on our Board of Directors until the earlier of
(i) the one year anniversary of the closing or (ii) the sale by the Sellers of more than 33% of the shares of our common stock
issued to them at closing. In addition, the shareholders' agreement contains a customary lock-up on the Sellers' shares, which
restricts the Sellers from transferring any shares of our common stock issued to them at closing until the later of 90 days following
the closing and 180 days following the date of this prospectus supplement. The ING Direct acquisition is subject to customary
closing conditions, including certain customary regulatory approvals, including banking approvals in both the United States and
The Netherlands. In certain circumstances set forth in the purchase and sale agreement, if the ING Direct acquisition is not
consummated or the agreement is terminated, we may be obligated to pay the Sellers a termination fee of $270 million. This
offering is not conditioned on the closing of the ING Direct acquisition, and we cannot assure you that the ING Direct acquisition
will be completed.
Common Stock Offering
On July 14, 2011, we entered into forward sale agreements with each of Barclays Capital Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co.
LLC or their respective affiliates, which we refer to as the forward purchasers. The forward purchasers are, at our request,
borrowing from third parties and selling 40,000,000 shares of our common stock (par value $0.01 per share) in a public offering
(the "Common Stock Offering") through certain underwriters. We will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of the
borrowed shares of our common stock. We will settle the forward sale agreements on a date or dates specified by us within
approximately seven months of July 14, 2011. We generally will settle the forward sale agreements entirely by the physical
delivery of shares of common stock for a cash purchase price unless, subject to certain conditions, we elect cash or net share
settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the forward sale agreements. If we settle the forward sale agreements
entirely by the physical delivery of shares of our common stock based on the initial forward sale price of $48.50, we expect to
receive net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and commissions, of approximately $1,940,000,000. We also have granted the
underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of our common stock from us, which, if exercised in full, will
result in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and commissions, of approximately $291,000,000. The shares purchased
pursuant to such option will not be subject to the forward sale agreements.
Preliminary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
This prospectus supplement contains certain preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
intended to present how the combined financial statements of Capital One and ING Direct may have appeared had the businesses
actually been combined at the beginning of the periods presented. Such information is provided for illustrative purposes only and
is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of
Capital One and ING Bank, fsb, each of which are incorporated into this document by reference. See "Preliminary Unaudited Pro
