Walmart ends credit card partnership with Capital One: What to know

Walmart has ended a partnership with Capital One that made the banking company the exclusive issuer of Walmart's consumer credit cards.

The companies announced the change in a joint statement Friday.

The companies said card-holders can still use their Capital One Walmart Rewards cards, which will continue to accrue rewards unless customers are notified of a change. Capital One will retain ownership and servicing of the credit card accounts.
