Saudi Prince, Al-Waleed bin Talal
How come there is no mention of Citibank's largest shareholder over the last 20 years or so, Saudi Arabian prince, Al-Waleed bin Talal and his role in Citibank? There is no mention in the Citicorp or Citigroup articles either. It is generally understood that he owned about 10%. Is there any particular reason for this omission?

- I doubt that he owns shares of Citibank rather than of Citigroup. DCDuring (talk) 18:48, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Use of language
I don't know whether it belongs here or someplace more general to the banking system in the US or worldwide or to human nature, but we need some discussion of the Humpty-Dumpty nature of the meaning of words used, not just in bank legal documents and bank advertising, but on HTML pages displayed to customers. Today I found out that, in Citibank's world, available (referring to funds in an account) has an additional meaning not found in wikt:available, to wit, "unavailable".

Origin of "Citibank" spelling
The National City Bank of New York was using "Citibank" as a cable address at least as early as 1909 (illustration, Columbia Law). So, when time came to engineer a new identity, it would make sense that they would pick a word they were already using. knoodelhed (talk) 04:22, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
Outdated/faulty citation utilized in introduction summary
Hey everyone,
The 2nd source cited for "Their online services division is among the most successful in the field,[2]" does not work and may therefore be inaccurate or outdated. Can this get addressed?
