D-1 Charter Number: 13688 Overall CRA Rating Institution’s CRA Rating: This institution is rated Outstanding. The following table indicates the performance level of Capital One, National Association (CONA, or the bank) with respect to the Lending, Investment, and Service Tests: Capital One, National Association Performance Tests Performance Levels Lending Test* Investment Test Service Test Outstanding X X High Satisfactory X Low Satisfactory Needs to Improve Substantial Noncompliance * The Lending Test is weighted more heavily than the Investment and Service Tests when arriving at an overall rating. The major factors that support this rating include: The Lending Test rating is based on an Outstanding rating in all the bank’s rating areas. The Investment Test rating is based on an Outstanding rating in all the bank’s rating areas. The New York CSA AA and the Washington, DC CSA AA, which represent the bank’s most significant markets in terms of deposits and branch distribution, were rated High Satisfactory and Outstanding, respectively, and carried the greatest weight in our overall conclusions. Flexible and Innovative Lending Products CONA offered flexible home mortgage and small business lending programs in order to serve assessment area (AA) credit needs. Flexible lending programs included Community Home Buyers (CHB), Dream, Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Affairs (VA), and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. The CHB and Dream loans were portfolio products, which allowed for more flexible underwriting that considered the individual borrower’s unique circumstances. The bank offered its Dream product in Louisiana and Texas, and its CHB product in the Northeast and Mid- Atlantic, to finance the purchase of homes by low- and moderate-income (LMI) borrowers and/or in LMI geographies. They featured low down payment requirements without private mortgage insurance, down payment assistance grants, consideration of nontraditional credit history, and homebuyer education. The loans were complex and labor-intensive. CONA originated or purchased 256 Dream and CHB loans totaling $47.5 million, 568 FHA loans totaling $117 million, 102 VA loans totaling $21 million, and 316 SBA loans totaling $221 million. Flexible and Innovative Investment Programs 1 Charter Number: 13688 CONA created and used several innovative approaches in grant funding to respond to community needs. The following highlights some examples of the bank’s programs: CONA’s Social Purpose Program is a mechanism that enhances the features of affordable housing developments. Under this program, the bank increased its investment in select nonprofit-owned developments by providing grant funding to support social service programs for residents. During the evaluation period, CONA committed to invest $1.57 million to support such programs in eight affordable housing developments. CONA’s Blueprints to Buildings (B2B) was created to provide grants and pre-development funding to support new affordable housing. It is intended to address the primary obstacles to building more affordable housing such as lengthy and often unfunded preparatory steps required to jumpstart affordable housing developments, and a lack of capital to move projects from conception to fruition. B2B provides multi-year grants to support project management expenses and low-cost, and flexible predevelopment loans to pay for project expenses. In addition, participants are eligible to apply for an unsecured line of credit from the bank at a below-market rate to help move the project from conception to closing. During the evaluation period, the bank committed to provide $1.45 million in B2B grants in connection with 19 developments in nine AAs and funded $1.75 million for both current and prior period commitments. CONA partnered with a number of nonprofit organizations to develop and expand Construction Contractors College (CCC). CCC is a free, seven-month small business training and development program that equips qualified business owners in the construction trades business with the knowledge, resources, and guidance they need to successfully bid and win public and private construction contracts. In addition to workshops, each small business owner receives one-on-one coaching and mentoring from CONA associates and professionals from partner organizations. Started in 2014, this program was created in direct response to the City of Houston’s need for a larger pool of certified minority- and women-owned contractors to bid on city projects. The program has since expanded to the Baton Rouge MSA AA and New York CSA AA. The bank provided grants totaling $481,300 to support the program during the evaluation period. In 2018,
