Capital One Financial ( (COF) ) has shared an announcement.
On January 22, 2026, Capital One announced a definitive agreement to acquire Brex Inc., an AI-native corporate card and spend-management platform, in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $5.15 billion, comprising approximately $2.75 billion in cash and about 10.6 million Capital One common shares. The transaction, expected to close in mid-2026 subject to customary regulatory approvals, will bring Brex’s integrated corporate credit cards, expense management software, and banking capabilities under Capital One’s umbrella, with Brex CEO Pedro Franceschi continuing to lead the business; the deal is positioned as a strategic move to accelerate Capital One’s push into business payments and intelligent finance solutions, enhancing its competitive standing in the corporate payments and spend-management market while potentially expanding its reach among U.S. businesses and high-growth companies already using Brex’s platform.
