Citi's New Website: New Items Under Tools And Services

[smallfry]

While I wouldn't click that button on a bet I think Citi will go forward because they have the largest world wide exposure of any of the Big Three Banks. Chase I wouldn't be concerned about either. BofA is another story altogether. I make sure I give my Citi and Chase cards the lion's share of my credit card usage.

CITI is government controlled and supported.  Chase has excellent management.  BofA is the wild card.  Both the bank and its CEO have been under intense scrutiny and second-guessing.  I'd wait and see on BofA (which happens to be the only major bank I have no accounts or credit cards with).

You know, I have happened to be born and live in country where everything, 100% was controlled by government. 70 years latter that country ceased to exist.

Seriously, you assume that:

1. US government involment is/will be positive/efficient.

2. US government cares about consumer.

If I somehow can accept #2, I highly doubt in #1.

My theory is that CITI over the next year will be the most progressive and user-friendly major bank.  Why?  The largest and controlling shareholder of CITI is the US government (36%).  They have significant influence over bank policy and practices and will attempt to have CITI be the model bank under the new legislation going into effect.

I wouldn't consider taking out a loan of my CITI card. Why? Can you say bait-and-fry?

Caring about my credit scores and available credit assumes any of this matters. Given the choice between Sam and Ivan I still think most of the world will go with Sam.

I will express a preference for Ben. As in Bejamin Franklin whose countenance graces the face of our glorious $100 bill. I like cash. No bank is our friend.
