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 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".

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)
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services division is among the most successful in the field,[2]" does not work and may therefore be inaccurate or outdated.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?
