This Is Not Your Parent's Bank, an article by John DiJulius about Capital One Cafe

Where can you go to chill out for as long as you want, grab a latte, enjoy free Wi-Fi, connect with others, snack on a pastry, and have access to community iPads? You probably said Starbucks. Let me add that you can also receive complimentary finance coaching. Would you believe you could get all of this at a bank? Times are indeed changing and the traditional banking model is going the way of the dinosaur.

Let me introduce you to Capital One Café—this is not your parent’s bank. In an effort to win over what is now the largest segment of the US workforce, the millennials, Capital One is opening Capital One Cafés around the U.S. A vast majority of the 35 & younger population have boycotted the traditional banking experience and strictly bank online. Capital One has partnered with Peet’s Coffee to provide beverages and snacks for purchase in each café. While you don’t have to be an existing customer to enjoy their cafés, Capital One cardholders receive 50% off any drink purchase.

Financial advisors, known as Capital One “ambassadors,” many of them certified life coaches, offer workshops on various topics such as wedding financing and how to talk to your spouse about money. These cafés also offer large conference rooms for local businesses and charities to use free of charge.
