CAPITAL ONE money in federal elections
Filers who listed CAPITAL ONE on federal campaign reports account for $3.4M ($3,373,253) in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 18,725 contributions and 546 donors. CAPITAL ONE is the two-word bank brand as typed, not a NAICS credit-card-issuing total, not Capital One’s PAC, and not CAPITAL ONE BANK, CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL, or CAPITAL ONE, N.A. as longer legal strings.
Key figures
- CAPITAL ONE as FEC employer text totals $3.4M ($3,373,253) from 546 donors.
- 18,725 contribution lines sit under that two-word bank brand.
- CAPITAL ONE BANK and BANK OF AMERICA are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.
Two-word brand, not a bank-sector recode
Five hundred forty-six unique donors produced 18,725 contributions totaling $3,373,253. About 34 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $180 describe the arithmetic. CAPITAL ONE BANK, CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, CAPITAL ONE, N.A., and BANK OF AMERICA can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,373,253 unless they grouped to CAPITAL ONE.
Top employer matches CAPITAL ONE. The FEC field records what was typed, not a securities-filing legal name. LobbyVault does not recode CAPITAL ONE BANK into this two-word brand. Researchers who want a combined Capital One family must recode after export. The 18,725-line count is consistent with repeat payroll-style itemizations under a short parent stamp.
546 donors and 18,725 lines
18,725 lines from 546 people is a thick receipt pattern. Mean per donor is about $6,178. Repeat payroll deductions can inflate contribution counts without raising unique donors. The packet does not publish a cards-versus-retail-bank split or a cycle year.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $3,373,253 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
CAPITAL ONE BANK and rival banks stay separate
CAPITAL ONE BANK, CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL, BANK OF AMERICA, and WELLS FARGO are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with CAPITAL ONE would mix a two-word brand, a legal-suffix spelling, and rival bank stamps. This page reports $3,373,253 for CAPITAL ONE only.
Occupation pages show titles stored beside the brand. ANALYST, BANKER, and ENGINEER exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of CAPITAL ONE.
Donor table without product inference
The CAPITAL ONE donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a card portfolio, a branch, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the two-word brand share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR file.
Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the brand. Repeat names among 18,725 lines from 546 people are expected. People who typed CAPITAL ONE BANK are not in these 546 unless a receipt also grouped to CAPITAL ONE.

Short CAPITAL ONE versus BANK suffix and rival stamps
CAPITAL ONE keyed $3.4M from 18,725 contributions and 546 donors. CAPITAL ONE BANK and BANK OF AMERICA remain other keys. The 546 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of the company’s workforce. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the brand.

Questions
- How much have CAPITAL ONE-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $3,373,253 to the CAPITAL ONE employer string, from 18,725 contributions and 546 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS credit-intermediation total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is CAPITAL ONE BANK included?
- Only if those receipts grouped to the two-word CAPITAL ONE key. CAPITAL ONE BANK and CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL are separate grouped keys if filers used them. The $3.4M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to CAPITAL ONE. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.
- Does this include Bank of America employees?
- No. BANK OF AMERICA is a separate employer string. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text CAPITAL ONE. Staff who typed only BANKER are in that title row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed CAPITAL ONE?
- The rollup counts 546 donors and 18,725 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
