How Superstorm Sandy Brought Disaster Recovery Home for Capital One
When Sandy, the hurricane/coastal storm hybrid, hit the northeast, it gave business continuity plans of companies of all sizes a jolt. Even the New York Stock Exchange’s trading floor was out of commission for two days, the longest weather delay for the exchange in 124 years.
The superstorm was the first real test of how mobile remote deposit capture can act as a double edged sword during a disaster — it can enhance business continuity and cause hassles at the same time.

She also has responsibility for enterprise payments, which includes strategy and risk management for commercial and consumer payments.
