Because our Domestic Card business accounts for the substantial majority of our Credit Card business, the key factors driving the results are similar to the key factors affecting our total Credit Card business. Net income for our Domestic Card business decreased in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025 primarily driven by:
| 23 | Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) |
Higher non-interest expense primarily driven by growth in our portfolio, including the addition of Brex, as well as continued investment in technology and higher marketing spend.
Higher provision for credit losses primarily driven by a smaller allowance release compared to the prior year, partially offset by lower net losses.
Higher non-interest income primarily driven by higher discount and interchange fees due to an increase in purchase volume, including the addition of Brex.
Higher net interest income primarily driven by higher average loan balances.
Net income for our Domestic Card business increased in the first nine months of 2026 compared to the first nine months of 2025 primarily driven by:
Lower provision for credit losses primarily driven by the absence of the initial allowance for credit losses for loans acquired in the Discover acquisition.
Higher net interest income primarily driven by higher average loan balances, largely due to the addition of Discover.
Higher non-interest income primarily driven by higher discount and interchange fees due to an increase in purchase volume, including the addition of Discover and Brex.
Higher non-interest expense primarily driven by growth in our portfolio inclusive of continued investment in technology and higher marketing spend, primarily due to the addition of Discover and Brex.
