What will these two seemingly unrelated industries look like when a coffee shop meets a bank? To be honest, it's not as sudden as I thought. According to "NBC 7 San Diego", the banking giant CapitalOne has turned its branch in Westfield UTC into a "CapitalOneCaf é" and opened on January 29, so that people who come to the bank to do business can enjoy a comfortable waiting time in the store. People who go shopping are even more welcome if they want to come to the bank for business and meet their friends at the bank for coffee.

The first coffee shop bank in San Diego

This is the first coffee shop bank in San Diego, located on the other side of La Jolla Village Drive near Macy, covering an area of 5229 square feet. Friedman, head of marketing at Capital One Bank, says the company plans to create a stress-free environment in which customers can taste lattes and, if they want, bank-related matters, such as talking to wealth managers about investment and using ATM services, so that banking is no longer a rigid stereotype.

Friedman pointed out that the "coffee shop bank" will introduce an orthodox way of operating coffee shops, offering not only a variety of individual and fancy coffee from California's well-known Peet's coffee, but also on consignment in cooperation with well-known local bakeries. The store will also provide sockets and free wireless Internet access, just like ordinary coffee shops.

Ambassador Capital One provides Money Coaching services

What about the "bank" part of the Cafe Bank? Almada, community affairs manager at Capital One Bank, said that the Cafe Bank will have "Capital One Ambassadors" in casual clothes to provide "money coaching" services, such as how to conduct financial planning (Talking Money With Your Honey) with your partner, and so on. Under the guidance of a special person, partners can talk about joint account management or the direction of their financial investment in the future.

At present, San Diego's "Cafe Bank" is open to the public, even if it is not the bank customers can go to spend, but if they hold the bank card, they can enjoy a discount such as half price of coffee.

Capital One Bank of the United States plans to open cafes in branches across the United States, and there are already several "Capital One Cafe' banks" in the West Bank, including three in Los Angeles, two in San Francisco, one in Portland and one in Seattle, and this branch in San Diego is also the 35th "coffee shop bank" of the bank.
