Liquidity Reserves

(1)Effective in the third quarter of 2026, total liquidity reserves includes borrowing capacity secured by loans under the Federal Reserve Discount Window. Amounts as of December 31, 2025 have been revised to reflect this methodology.
Our liquidity reserves increased by $8.7 billion to $205.9 billion as of September 30, 2026 from December 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in borrowing capacity secured by loans. In addition to these liquidity reserves, we maintain access to a diversified mix of funding sources as discussed in the “Borrowing Capacity” and “Funding Sources” sections below. See “Part II—Item 7. MD&A—Risk Management” in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on our management of liquidity risk.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio
We are subject to the final rules published by the Basel Committee and as implemented by the Federal Reserve and the OCC for the Basel III Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) in the U.S. (the “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 third quarter of 2026 was 163%, 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” in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.
Net Stable Funding Ratio
We are subject to the final rules published by the Basel Committee and as implemented by the Federal Reserve and the OCC for the Basel III Net Stable Funding Ratio (“NSFR”) in the U.S. (the “NSFR Rule”). The NSFR Rule requires each of 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 a qualitative discussion of its NSFR. Our average NSFR for the third quarter of 2026 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” in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.
Borrowing Capacity
We maintain a shelf registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 September 30, 2026, we had $17.7 billion and $16.0 billion of available issuance capacity in our COMET and COPAR securitization programs, respectively.
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 Operations 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 September 30, 2026, we had maximum borrowing capacity of $106.5 billion at the FHLB and under the Federal Reserve Discount Window as a result of collateral pledged, of which $2.1 billion was used. Our FHLB membership is supported by our investment in FHLB stock of $90 million and $89 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our membership with the Federal Reserve is supported by our investment in Federal Reserve stock of $2.6 billion as of both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
As a member of FICC - GSD, we have $24.8 billion of readily available borrowing capacity secured by securities from our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2026. Our FICC - GSD membership is supported by our investment in Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation common stock of $575 thousand and $488 thousand as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
