Liquidity Coverage Ratio
We are subject to the Federal Reserve’s and OCC’s LCR Rule. The LCR Rule requires both the Company and the Bank to calculate its respective LCR daily. It also requires the Company to publicly disclose, on a quarterly basis, its LCR, certain related quantitative liquidity metrics, and a qualitative discussion of its LCR. Our average LCR during the fourth quarter of 2025 was 173%, which exceeded the LCR Rule requirement of 100%. The calculation and the underlying components are based on our interpretations, expectations and assumptions of relevant regulations, as well as interpretations provided by our regulators, and are subject to change based on changes to future regulations and interpretations. See “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” for additional information.
Net Stable Funding Ratio
We are subject to the Federal Reserve’s and OCC’s NSFR Rule. The NSFR Rule requires both the Company and the Bank to maintain an NSFR of 100% on an ongoing basis. It also requires the Company to publicly disclose, on a semi-annual basis each second and fourth quarter, its NSFR, certain related quantitative liquidity metrics and qualitative discussion of its NSFR. Our average NSFR for each of the third and fourth quarter of 2025 was 136%, which exceeded the NSFR Rule requirement of 100%. The calculation and the underlying components are based on our interpretations, expectations and assumptions of the relevant regulations, as well as interpretations provided by our regulators, and are subject to change based on changes to future regulations and interpretations. See “Part I—Item 1. Business—Supervision and Regulation” for additional information.
Borrowing Capacity
We maintain a shelf registration with the SEC so that we may periodically offer and sell an indeterminate aggregate amount of senior or subordinated debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, purchase contracts, warrants and units. There is no limit under this shelf registration to the amount or number of such securities that we may offer and sell, subject to market conditions. In addition, we also maintain a shelf registration associated with our Capital One Multi-asset Execution Trust (“COMET”) that allows us to periodically offer and sell up to $24.0 billion of securitized debt obligations and a shelf registration associated with our Capital One Prime Auto Receivables Trusts (“COPAR”) that allows us to periodically offer and sell up to $18.6 billion of securitized debt obligations. These shelf registration statements are subject to periodic renewal and, thus, change, which may be reviewed by the SEC at the time of each such renewal. As part of each periodic renewal, we assess registered amounts under each shelf registration statement which may be updated as appropriate. As of December 31, 2025, we had $21.5 billion and $17.5 billion of available issuance capacity in our COMET and COPAR securitization programs, respectively.
In connection with the Transaction, we also acquired a shelf registration associated with the Discover Card Execution Note Trust (“DCENT”). On December 18, 2025, we defeased the outstanding DiscoverSeries Class A Notes issued by DCENT as part of the wind down of that issuance platform. As a result, that shelf registration statement is no longer active.
In addition to our issuance capacity under the shelf registration statements, we also have collateral pledged to support our access to FHLB advances, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, the Standing Repo Facility and FICC - GSD general collateral financing repurchase agreement service. For each of these programs, the ability to borrow utilizing these sources is dependent on meeting the respective membership requirements. Our borrowing capacity in each program is a function of the collateral the Bank has posted with each counterparty, including any respective haircuts applied to that collateral.
As of December 31, 2025, we pledged loans and securities to the FHLB to secure a maximum borrowing capacity of$34.4 billion, of which$1.3 billion was used. Our FHLB membership is supported by our investment in FHLB stock of$89 million and $18 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, we pledged loans to secure a borrowing capacity of$53.3 billion under the Federal Reserve Discount Window. Our membership with the Federal Reserve is supported by our investment in Federal Reserve stock, which totaled$2.6 billion and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As a member of FICC - GSD, we have$21.2 billion of readily available borrowing capacity secured by securities from our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2025. Our FICC - GSD membership is supported by our investment in Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”) common stock of$488 thousand and $412 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
