Discover Financial Services
Discover is a U.S. financial-services brand best known for credit cards, cash-back rewards, online banking, personal loans, and the Discover payments network. The brand has historically operated from Riverwoods, Illinois and built a large consumer business around direct banking and payment products.
An important current change is that Discover Financial Services is no longer an independent public company. Capital One completed its acquisition of Discover on May 18, 2025. Discover Financial Services merged into Capital One Financial Corporation, while Discover Bank merged into Capital One, National Association. Discover continues to operate as a customer-facing brand within the combined Capital One organization.
Capital One’s current materials continue to market Discover as a distinct brand and emphasize Discover’s credit-card, banking, and payments businesses. The broader parent company is headquartered in McLean, Virginia and is led by founder, Chairman, President and CEO Richard D. Fairbank.

This number was associated with Discover Financial Services’ Riverwoods corporate office before the merger. Current Discover consumer matters should generally use the applicable product-support line rather than the old corporate switchboard.

Customers filing a complaint involving a Discover credit card, banking account, personal loan, unauthorized charge, payment, fraud issue, account restriction, rewards problem, or Customer Service experience should collect statements, transaction dates, case numbers, correspondence, and other relevant account records before escalating.
For Discover Card concerns, begin with 1-800-347-2683. Personal-loan customers should use 1-877-256-2632. Clearly explain the issue, identify the disputed transaction or service problem, and ask the representative to document the complaint. Keep the date, representative name where available, and case number.
If the first representative cannot resolve the issue, request escalation to a supervisor or the appropriate fraud, billing, lending, or account-review team. Provide a clear timeline and supporting records. For suspected fraud, act promptly and avoid communicating further with any suspicious caller or sender claiming to represent Discover.
Discover’s current privacy correspondence address is:
Discover
Attn: Customer Service – Privacy Inquiries

Because Discover is now owned by Capital One, serious unresolved matters involving corporate policy or post-merger servicing can be escalated through Capital One’s corporate channels at 1680 Capital One Drive, McLean, VA 22102. Include account details, case numbers, prior correspondence, relevant dates, and copies of supporting documents.
If the complaint remains unresolved, the correct external channel depends on the product and issue. Consumer banking and credit-card complaints may be filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, while certain bank matters may also involve the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Payment disputes can also involve the cardholder’s rights under applicable federal law. Preserve statements, complaint numbers, letters, and Discover or Capital One responses before escalating.
