Business Beyond Borders

We understand that your business needs extend to other
countries—80%-95% of all U.S. businesses buy supplies from overseas and/or have sales overseas. In the current global economy, businesses increasingly face challenges in both import and export opportunities and seek a "one stop" banking partner that can service their needs.

Capital One Bank^® offers a comprehensive array of foreign exchange (“FX”) products and services to support your international business activities. We guarantee conversion rates, which means clients with ongoing transactions that require dealing in local/foreign currency can lock in rates today for future payments and collections, enabling them to better manage exchange rate volatility and mitigate their company’s exposure to changing foreign currency exchange rates.

Our services include:

• Spot FX / International Outgoing and Incoming Wires

  • Obtain competitive conversion rates on euro, Canadian dollar, Great British pound, Swiss franc, Japanese yen and Australian dollar. Foreign funds are converted and credited to your USD account by next day. Furthermore, Capital One Bank^® has access to all tradable currencies on behalf of our clients.

Extend Your Reach

Capital One Bank^® can arrange, as an administrative agent, syndicated loan transactions for companies requiring a credit structure that is outside of the limits of an individual bank. With a close understanding of your business, we will quickly and efficiently structure a market-clearing transaction with deal execution seamlessly completed through our network of regional bank contacts. This can be advantageous to borrowers for several reasons:

• Practical, efficient means of accessing large pools of committed credit

• Reduces the time-consuming and administratively burdensome process of negotiating multiple credit agreements, and it improves borrower control over financing activities

• Only a single request to draw down funds and any changes to the credit agreement only need to be executed once

We can devise a successful syndication strategy (including credit structure, terms, and pricing), regardless of the amount and transaction complexity, to help you streamline and simplify your access to capital.
