How to Claim SCRA Benefits from Capital One
Capital One is one of the largest credit card issuers in the U.S., and if you have any Capital One credit cards, auto loans, or banking products from before your active duty service, you qualify for SCRA's 6% interest rate cap.
Here's your complete guide to filing a successful SCRA claim with Capital One.

Capital One's SCRA-Specific Benefits

- Deployment forbearance: Additional protections during deployment
Always ask about these additional benefits when you call—they're not always advertised.
Common Capital One Issues
Long hold times
Capital One's military line can have long waits. Use the online portal when possible, or call early morning for shorter queues.
Requests for additional documentation
Capital One sometimes asks for "certified" copies of orders. Regular copies are legally sufficient—push back if they demand notarization.
Partial application
Occasionally Capital One applies SCRA to some accounts but not others. Review all your accounts and follow up on any missed.
Auto Loans Through Capital One Auto Navigator
If you financed a car through Capital One Auto Navigator before active duty:
- The same 6% cap applies
- Submit the same documentation
- Refunds may take slightly longer due to different servicing systems
- Call the dedicated auto loan line: 1-800-946-0332
