               Capital One Reports Record First Quarter Earnings,
                     Surpasses 25 Million Customer Milestone

Falls Church,  Va. (April 13, 2000) -- Capital One Financial  Corporation (NYSE:
COF) today announced  record first quarter 2000 earnings of $106.7  million,  or
$0.51 per share,  versus earnings of $82.4 million,  or $0.39 per share, for the
comparable  period in the prior year.  These  record  earnings  per share are up
$0.04 from the fourth  quarter of 1999.  All earnings per share amounts  reflect
the Company's three-for-one stock split distributed on June 1, 1999.

         "Our most valuable asset doesn't even appear on our balance sheet.  Our
25 million  customers  comprise one of the largest  customer  franchises  in the
world," said Richard D.  Fairbank,  Capital One's  Chairman and Chief  Executive
Officer.  During  the first  quarter,  Capital  One added  1.6  million  net new
accounts, bringing total accounts to 25.3 million.

         The Company's  managed net interest margin  increased to a record 11.23
percent in the first quarter of 2000 versus 10.78 percent in the fourth  quarter
of 1999 and  10.55  percent  in the  comparable  period of 1999.  The  increased
margin,  higher  non-interest  income,  and  stability in net  charge-offs  each
contributed to the record risk adjusted margin of 16.57 percent,  which compares
to 16.24  percent  for the  fourth  quarter  of 1999 and 14.38  percent  for the
comparable period in the prior year.

         First quarter 2000 revenue,  defined as managed net interest income and
non-interest  income,  rose to $1.1  billion  versus $1.0  billion in the fourth
quarter of 1999 and $872  million for the  comparable  period in the prior year.
For the quarter,  Capital One's managed consumer loan balances  increased by $62
million to $20.3 billion.

         Marketing  expense for the first  quarter of 2000  remained the same as
the fourth quarter of 1999 at $202 million,  and increased over the $176 million
spent in the comparable  period of the prior year. Other  non-interest  expenses
(excluding  marketing)  for the first  quarter of 2000 were $508 million  versus
$479 million for the fourth  quarter of 1999 and $372 million in the  comparable
period of the prior year.  Annualized operating expenses per account declined to
$82.93 for the first quarter of 2000 from $85.98 for the fourth  quarter of 1999
and $85.74 from the comparable period in the prior year.

         The managed net charge-off rate remained stable at 3.87 percent for the
first quarter of 2000  compared to 3.86 percent for the fourth  quarter of 1999.
The managed  delinquency rate (30+ days) also remained stable at 5.26 percent as
of March 31,  2000,  compared  to 5.23  percent as of  December  31,  1999.  The
allowance for loan losses  increased by $30 million  during the first quarter to
$372 million or 3.94 percent of  on-balance  sheet  receivables  as of March 31,
2000,  compared to 3.45 percent as of December 31, 1999.  The capital to managed
assets ratio was strong as of March 31, 2000, at 7.06 percent.

         "Capital  One has built a  flexible  business  model and a  fast-paced,
exciting,  entrepreneurial  culture  that truly  benefits  consumers  across the
credit  spectrum,"  said Nigel W.  Morris,  Capital  One's  President  and Chief
Operating  Officer.  "Our strong  risk-adjusted  margin  reflects our ability to
innovate  profitable  products  while our  charge-off  rate  continues to be the
lowest among the major players in the industry."

         Capital One is one of the major  financial  services  providers  on the
Internet, with on-line account decisioning, real-time account numbering, on-line
retail deposits and a growing number of customers  serviced on-line.  "Combining
the power of Capital  One's  customer  base with a robust  offering of financial
services  and  other  products  on the  Internet  is one  of our  key  strategic
objectives," said Fairbank.

         Headquartered  in  Falls  Church,   Virginia,   Capital  One  Financial
Corporation   (www.CapitalOne.com)   is  a  holding   company  whose   principal
subsidiaries,  Capital One Bank and Capital One, F.S.B.,  offer consumer lending
