Tweants
|
Tweants or Twents is a dialect of the Low Saxon language. It is spoken in the region of Twente, in the east of the Netherlands. About 320.000 people speak it daily, but the number of people who can but don't is higher. As a dialect of Low Saxon, it shares many characteristics with neighbouring dialects, such as Sallands and Achterhooks, but also across the border into Germany.
Tweants can be roughly divided into two main dialects: East and West Tweants (sometimes called Twents-Groafskops). For instance, the English phrase "I have done" translates to "Ik heb doan" in East Twents, and "Ik hebbe edoan(e)" in West Tweants. Another difference between East and West is that the eastern dialects say "nich" for English "not", while western dialects use "neet".
There is no common form of Twents. Every town or village has some features that are slightly different from the rest. They all share roughly the same grammar, words and phrases, with a few local special words.
Twents has long been looked down on. Parents were discouraged to pass it onto their children. Today, there is a renewed interest in the language and local culture, though many can't speak it anymore.
Some well-known speakers of Tweants are football manager Erik ten Hag and Dutch comedian Herman Finkers.

Wagoner's Lad
|
Wagoner's Lad (also known as "My Horses Ain't Hungry") is a popular song, which first appeared without credit and without sheet music in a 1734 book, "The Vocal Miscellany".
Description.
A young woman is courted by the "boy from the wagon" of the song's title. Her parents do not like the boy because he is poor. He tells her that he is self-sufficient and is not ashamed of his condition, and announces that he will leave; she asks him to stay, but he refuses. She complains about the hard fate of women.
Other versions.
This song, which barely qualifies as a ballad even in its completed forms, has spawned many derivative tunes; the best known being "On Top of Old Smokey". However, some versions of this are very difficult to distinguish from "Rye Whisky", as the two songs have many lines in common. Bob Dylan stated that the melodic structure of his song "Farewell, Angelina" was taken from an early 1850s Scottish sailors' song by George Scroggie called "Farewell to Tarwathie": this latter song, in turn, was inspired by the old traditional tune of "Wagoner's Lad".
Recordings.
In the 78 rpm era it was recorded by Grayson & Whitter (as "My Mind Is to Marry"), Buell Kazee (Brunswick 213B, 1928), Kelly Harrell (Victor 20103, 1926, as "My Horses Ain't Hungry"), and Vernon Dalhart (Edison 52077, 1927, also as "My Horses Ain't Hungry").

Impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol
|
On 14 December 2024, Yoon Suk Yeol, the president of South Korea, was impeached by the National Assembly. This came in response to Yoon's declaration of martial law on 3 December 2024, which was overturned by the National Assembly and officially ended six hours later on 4 December 2024.
Former prime minister Han Duck-soo became acting president until the Constitutional Court's decision on whether to remove Yoon from office. An earlier impeachment motion was put to a parliamentary vote on 7 December 2024 but failed because the number of attending legislators did not meet the needed number for it to pass.
This is the third impeachment of a South Korean president: Roh Moo-hyun was impeached in 2004 but acquitted by the Constitutional Court, while Park Geun-hye was impeached in 2016 and convicted and removed from office in 2017 after the Constitutional Court's confirmation.
On 31 December, the Seoul Western District Court issued an arrest warrant for Yoon with charges relating to abuse of power, and orchestrating the 2024 South Korean martial law crisis.
On 4 April 2025, an eight-judge Constitutional Court supported Yoon's impeachment, formally removing him from office. This made him the shortest-serving president in South Korea's democratic history.

Methodist Church of Hungary
|
The Methodist Church of Hungary is a Christian denomination in Hungary and part of the global Methodist movement. Methodism began as a revival movement within Christianity, focusing on personal faith, social justice, and helping others.
History.
The Methodist Church began in the 18th century as a religious renewal movement within the Anglican Church. It focused on helping the poor and needy, inspiring many people to care about social solidarity and responsibility.
The Methodist movement became separate from the Anglican Church after its leader, John Wesley, died in 1791, due to changing circumstances. Today, there are about 75 million Methodists in 108 countries worldwide.
The Methodist Church has been present in Hungary since 1898, when the first Methodist preacher, Robert Möller, came from Austria. The Methodist mission officially began in Hungary in 1905.
After the Treaty of Trianon, the Budapest congregation was the only remaining Methodist community in Hungary. However, during the spiritual revivals after the two World Wars, the church's work expanded nationwide. Today, in 2024, there are about 40 congregations in 11 districts across Hungary.

Impeachment of Han Duck-soo
|
On 27 December 2024, South Korean prime minister and acting president Han Duck-soo was impeached. This came 10 days after president Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached and Han became acting president.
Opposition Democratic Party floor leader Park Chan-dae announced plans to impeach Han on 24 December after he failed to support two bills giving special counsel for Yoon and first lady Kim Keon-hee. The motion was formally filed on 26 December after Han blocked the appointment of three justices to the Constitutional Court of Korea whose nomination was approved by the National Assembly.
After Speaker Woo Won-shik said that Han can be impeached by a simple majority because of his status as a cabinet minister, Han was impeached by 192 MPs on 27 December, with members of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) boycotting the vote. Han became the first acting president of South Korea to be impeached.
Deputy prime minister Choi Sang-mok became acting president until the Constitutional Court's decision on whether to remove Han from office.
On 24 March 2025, the Constitutional Court voted to overturn Han's impeachment, reinstating him as acting president and prime minister.

Unitarian Church of Transylvania
|
The Unitarian Church of Transylvania (also called the Hungarian Unitarian Church) is a Hungarian Christian denomination in Transylvania with its center in Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár).
History.
The Unitarian Church was founded by Ferenc Dávid as a continuation of the Reformation. The church's founding year is considered to be 1568, when the Diet of Torda declared freedom of conscience and religion. This made Unitarianism an officially recognized faith alongside Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Calvinism.
John II Sigismund, Prince of Transylvania, was a strong supporter of the church. At the Diet of Marosvásárhely (now Târgu Mureș) in 1571, he reaffirmed the decision of the Diet of Torda. The prince also allowed Ferenc Dávid to use the printing press in Gyulafehérvár (Alba Iulia) to spread Unitarian teachings.
After the death of John II Sigismund, the Catholic Báthory princes supported the Counter-Reformation in Transylvania. Báthory Kristóf forbade Ferenc Dávid from preaching and imprisoned him in the fortress of Déva (Deva")", where he later died. To stop the spread of the Reformation, Báthory brought Jesuits into the country.
After Ferenc Dávid's death, György Enyedi became the protector of the Unitarian faith. Among the princes of Transylvania, besides John II Sigismund, Mózes Székely, born in Székelyudvarhely (now Odorheiu Secuiesc), was also Unitarian. In 1605, István Bocskai, elected Prince of Transylvania, expelled the Jesuits from the region and restored the Unitarians' confiscated churches and their college.The Habsburg rule brought a period of decline for the Unitarian Church, as it did for other historic Protestant churches. Under the Habsburgs, Protestants faced disadvantages in all areas compared to Catholics. The Unitarians lost many of their churches during this time.
Maria Theresa even took important churches from the Unitarians, such as the main square church in Székelykeresztúr (now Cristuru Secuiesc), considered a Unitarian stronghold. These actions were carried out regardless of the actual number of believers, often forcing Protestant congregations in predominantly Protestant towns to give up their churches for the benefit of small Catholic communities.
The Edict of Toleration eventually reduced the discrimination faced by Protestants in the country, although it did not create equal conditions. While it allowed Protestants to practice their religion freely under regulated circumstances, it still ensured the absolute dominance of Catholics in all areas.
For example, in mixed marriages, the edict stated that only the sons of Protestant fathers could remain Protestant, while all children of Catholic fathers would be Catholic. Despite these remaining disadvantages, the edict helped slow the decline of Protestant populations within the empire.
The First World War brought significant losses for Unitarians, and the Treaty of Trianon placed the majority of their members in a minority position, also dividing the church. Most Unitarians ended up in Romania, while a smaller group (a few thousand people) remained citizens of Hungary. Despite this division, an official institutional separation did not happen for a long time.
In 1968, the part of the church located in Hungary became independent and operated as a separate church under the name Unitarian Church of Hungary, with its own leadership. This arrangement continued until 2010.
The anti-church stance and atheist propaganda of communism caused significant damage to churches, and the Unitarian Church, due to its strong Hungarian identity, was especially affected. As a result, it suffered more severe losses compared to larger historical churches. In 1948, the communist government nationalized church properties and institutions.
This was when the church lost its most important institutions, including its two most significant colleges (the Kolozsvár and Székelykeresztúr Unitarian colleges). These institutions were only re-established after the change of regime, and it took many more years for the buildings to be returned.
On November 22, 2010, after 42 years, the unity of the Unitarian Church was restored. The Unitarian Church of Transylvania reunited with the Unitarian Church of Hungary, and the newly united church was named the Hungarian Unitarian Church. The center of the united church is in Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár), and its bishop is István Kovács.
In the 2011 census, there were 57,686 Unitarians in Romania and 6,266 in Hungary.

Izvoru Crișului
|
Comuna Izvoru Crișului () is a commune in Cluj County, Romania.
History.
In 1276, the place was first mentioned as Crisfeu. During the Árpád era, this area, along with the sources of the Kalota and Almás rivers, belonged to Bihar under the Várad bishopric. However, by 1282, it was listed under Kolozs County. Its customs duties went to György Bebek (or Böbek), the royal treasurer, in 1371, and then to the Bánffy family of Losonc in 1471. In 1493, a peasant named Antal Magyar from Körösfő is mentioned as belonging to the Transylvanian bishop, and in 1504, another peasant named János Gyalui is recorded. These are the first people from Körösfő whose names we know.
Population.
According to the 2011 census, the commune had a population of 1,632 people. Of these, 79.04% were Hungarian, and 19.85% were Romanian. In terms of religion, most people were Reformed (77.63%), while others were Orthodox (19.24%).

Greek Catholic Church of Hungary
|
The Greek Catholic Church of Hungary or the Hungarian Greek Catholic Church is a "sui iuris" Eastern Catholic church in Hungary within the Catholic Church.
On March 20, 2015, it became an independent church directly subordinated to Rome. Before that, it was part of the Hungarian Catholic Church.
History.
Greek Catholics in Hungary originally lived in the northeastern part of the country. Historically, this area was home to Byzantine Rite Christians from the Carpathian Mountains. Later, after the Turks were driven out of Vienna in 1683 and Buda and central Hungary in 1686, Ruthenians and Slovaks settled in the abandoned lands of Hungary. They were under the care of the Ruthenian Eparchy of Mukachevo.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, in times of conflict with Protestants, many Hungarians joined the Greek Catholic Church. Instead of following the Latin Rite, they adopted the Byzantine Rite, which significantly increased their numbers.
Because of their growing Hungarian identity, Byzantine Hungarian communities started using the Hungarian language in their church services. In 1795, a Hungarian translation of the Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom was published for personal study. Later, in 1862, a book with the parts of the liturgy sung by the congregation was released.
In 1868, representatives from 58 Hungarian-speaking parishes gathered to form an organization. Their goals were to promote the use of Hungarian in church services and to create a separate eparchy. In 1882, a Hungarian translation of the Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom was published for actual use, even though it didn’t have formal church approval. Soon after, more Hungarian translations of liturgical texts followed.
On June 8, 1912, Pope Pius X created the Eparchy of Hajdúdorog for the 162 Hungarian-speaking Greek Catholic parishes. He allowed Hungarian to be used only in non-liturgical functions and required that Greek be used during liturgy. However, a transition period of three years was granted for this change. Due to the outbreak of World War I, the transition period was extended indefinitely, and the use of Hungarian in liturgy has continued.
The church had a unique situation under the hungarian Communist regime. Unlike Greek Catholic churches in Romania, Slovakia, or Soviet Ukraine, it was not banned or heavily persecuted. This relative leniency was likely due to the church's small size, its poverty (northeast Hungary, where most members live, was the country's poorest region).
On March 20, 2015, Pope Francis elevated the Hungarian Greek Catholic Church to a separate metropolia with its seat in Debrecen. He appointed Bishop Péter Fülöp Kocsis as its first metropolite.

History.
The Anglican Church has been present in Hungary’s religious and spiritual life for more than two centuries. According to current records, the London-based Anglican Missionary Society's documents mention Anglican services in Hungary from the 1890s. Earlier Anglican services are also known from the town of Tata, where an Anglican chapel still stands today. The present-day Saint Margaret of Scotland Anglican Episcopal Church was founded in 1992, after the fall of the Hungarian communist regime.

Chinese Chan Buddhist Church of Hungary
|
The Chinese Chan Buddhist Church of Hungary (Chinese: "匈牙利中國禪宗佛教會"; Pinyin: "Xiōngyálì zhōngguó chánzōng fójiào huì"; Hungarian: "Magyarországi Kínai Chanbuddhista Egyház") is one of the official Buddhist religious organizations in Hungary, representing the Chan school of Mahayana Buddhism. Its center is the Pu-ji Temple in Budapest. The establishment of the church was significantly influenced by the Chinese Arts Center of Hungary and chinese Buddhist monks living in Hungary. The church's leader, Ming Lai, a Buddhist abbot, has lived in Hungary for 14 years.
The Pu-ji Temple, located in Budapest, regularly holds noon and evening ceremonies, as well as traditional Buddhist festivals. Ming Lai leads meditation courses within the institution.
One of the prominent Buddhist figures venerated by the church is Guan Yin (Chinese: "觀音 / 观音", Pinyin: "guānyīn"), a bodhisattva. Unlike her Indian counterpart, Avalokiteshvara, Guan Yin is most often depicted as female in China and other Southeast Asian countries. The main statue at the Pu-ji Temple also represents Guan Yin.
History.
At the invitation of Abbott Ming Lai, the Chinese Arts Center helped establish the Hungarian Chinese Chan Buddhist Church and a community. The church was officially registered on September 14, 2002. The community actively involves the Chinese colony in Hungary. The Chinese Arts Center also played a role in the construction of the Pu-ji Temple, which opened its doors on August 2, 2003. During the temple's consecration ceremony, monks and worshippers from various countries attended. On this day, a Chan wedding ceremony was also held for the first time in Europe. The historical event featured the young couple, XiaoFeng Cserkész Gábor, president of the Chinese Arts Center, and YaoXian Cserkészné Prokop Nikoletta.

Citibank
|
Citibank, N.A. is the primary U.S. banking subsidiary of Citigroup, a financial services multinational corporation. Citibank was founded in 1812 as City Bank of New York, and later became First National City Bank of New York.
History.
19th century.
The City Bank of New York was founded on June 16, 1812. The first president of the City Bank was the statesman and retired Colonel, Samuel Osgood. After Osgood's death in August 1813, William Few became President of the bank, staying until 1817, followed by Peter Stagg (1817–1825), Thomas Smith (1825–1827), Isaac Wright (1827–1832), and Thomas Bloodgood (1832–1843). After the Panic of 1837, Moses Taylor acquired control of the company. During Taylor's ascendancy, the bank functioned largely as a treasury and finance center for Taylor's own extensive business empire. Later presidents of the bank included Gorham A. Worth (1843–1856), Moses Taylor himself (1856–1882), Taylor's son-in-law Percy Rivington Pyne I, and James Stillman (1891–1909).
In 1831, City Bank was the site of one of America's first bank heists when two burglars, James Honeyman and William J. Murray, made off with tens of thousands of dollars' worth of bank notes, and 398 gold doubloons, the equivalent of $52 million in 2013 currency.
The bank financed war bonds for the War of 1812, serving as a founding member of the financial clearinghouse in New York (1853), underwriting the Union during the American Civil War with $50 million in war bonds, opening the first foreign exchange department of any bank (1897), and receiving a $5 million deposit to be given to Spain for the US acquisition of the Philippines (1899). In 1865, the bank joined the national banking system of the United States under the National Bank Act and became The National City Bank of New York. By 1868, it was one of the largest banks in the United States. The bank became the largest bank in New York City following the Panic of 1893. Two years later, in 1895, it had become the largest bank in the U.S.
20th century.
In 1904, the bank helped finance the Panama Canal. Two years later, in 1906, 11% of the U.S. federal government's bank balances were held by National City. National City at this time was the banker of Standard Oil, and the Chicago banking factions accused U.S. Secretary of the Treasury L. M. Shaw of having too close of a relationship with National City and other Wall Street operators. In 1907, Stillman, then the bank's chairman, intervened, along with J. P. Morgan and George Fisher Baker, in the Panic of 1907.
Between 1910 and 1911, the Department of State backed a consortium of American investors headed by Citibank to acquire control over the Banque Nationale de la République d'Haïti, which was the sole commercial bank of Haiti and served as the Haitian government's treasury. Citibank then lobbied for the United States occupation of Haiti, which began in 1915. During the occupation, Citibank imposed a US$30 million loan on the Haitian government, which was described by communist George Padmore as transforming Haiti into an "American slave colony". Citibank would go on to acquire some of its largest gains in the 1920s due to debt payments from Haiti, according to later filings to the Senate Finance Committee.
When the Federal Reserve Act allowed it, National City Bank became the first U.S. national bank to open an overseas banking office when it opened a branch in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1914. Many of Citi's present international offices are older; offices in London, Shanghai, Calcutta, and elsewhere were opened in 1901 and 1902 by the International Banking Corporation (IBC), a company chartered to conduct banking business outside the U.S., which was forbidden to U.S. national banks. In 1918, IBC became a wholly owned subsidiary and was subsequently merged into the bank. The same year, the bank evacuated all of its employees from Moscow and Petrograd as the Russian Civil War had begun, but also established a branch in Puerto Rico. By 1919, the bank had become the first U.S. bank to have $1 billion in assets.
As of March 9, 1921, there were four national banks in New York City operating branch offices: Chatham and Phenix National, the Mechanics and Metals National, the Irving National, and National City Bank.
Charles E. Mitchell, also called "Sunshine" Charlie Mitchell, was elected president in 1921. In 1929, he was made chairman, a position he held until 1933. Under Mitchell, the bank expanded rapidly and by 1930 had 100 branches in 23 countries outside the United States. The policies pursued by the bank under Mitchell's leadership are seen by many people as one of the prime causes of the stock market crash of 1929, which led ultimately to the Great Depression.
In 1933, the Pecora Commission, a United States Senate committee, investigated Mitchell for his part in tens of millions of dollars in losses, excessive pay, and tax avoidance, later leading to his resignation. U.S. Senator Carter Glass said of him, "Mitchell, more than any 50 men, is responsible for this stock crash."
On December 24, 1927, its headquarters in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were blown up by the Italian anarchist Severino Di Giovanni, in the frame of the international campaign supporting Sacco and Vanzetti.
In 1940 and 1941, branches in Germany and Japan closed. In 1945, the bank handled $5.6 billion in Treasury securities for War and Victory Loan drives for the U.S. government.
In 1952, James Stillman Rockefeller was elected president and then chairman in 1959, serving until 1967. Stillman was a direct descendant of the Rockefeller family through the William Rockefeller (the brother of John D.) branch. In 1960, his second cousin, David Rockefeller, became president of Chase Manhattan Bank, National City's long-time New York rival for dominance in the banking industry in the United States.
Following its merger with the First National Bank in 1955, the bank changed its name to The First National City Bank of New York, then shortened it to First National City Bank in 1962. It is also worth noting that the bank began recruiting at Harvard Business School in 1957, arranged the financing of the 1958 Hollywood film, "South Pacific", and had its branches in Cuba nationalized in 1959 by the new socialist government, and has its first African-American director in 1969, Franklin A. Thomas.
The company organically entered the leasing and credit card sectors, and its introduction of US dollar-denominated certificates of deposit in London marked the first new negotiable instrument in the market since 1888. Later to become part of MasterCard, the bank introduced its "First National City Charge Service" credit card—popularly known as the "Everything Card"—in 1967.
In 1967, Walter B. Wriston became chairman and chief executive officer of the bank.
In the 1960s, the bank entered into the credit card business. In 1965, First National City Bank bought Carte Blanche from Hilton Hotels. Three years later, under pressure from the U.S. government, the bank sold this division. By 1968, the company created its own credit card. The card, known as "The Everything Card", was promoted as a kind of East Coast version of the BankAmericard. By 1969, First National City Bank decided that the Everything Card was too costly to promote as an independent brand and joined Master Charge (now MasterCard). Citibank unsuccessfully tried again from 1977 to 1987 to create a separate credit card brand, the Choice Card.
In 1967, First National City Bank reorganized as a one-bank holding company, First National City Corporation, or "Citicorp" for short. However, the bank had been nicknamed "Citibank" since the 1860s, when City Bank of New York adopted it as an eight-letter wire code address. "Citicorp" became the holding company's formal name in 1974, and in 1976, First National City Bank was renamed Citibank, N.A. The name change also helped to avoid confusion in Ohio with Cleveland-based National City Corp., though the banks never had any significant overlapping areas except for Citi credit cards issued in National City territory. In addition, at the time of the name change to Citicorp, in 1968, National City of Ohio was mostly a Cleveland-area bank and had not gone on its acquisition spree that would occur in the 1990s and 2000s. Any possible name confusion had Citi not changed its name from National City eventually became completely moot when PNC Financial Services acquired National City in 2008 during the subprime mortgage crisis.
In 1987, the bank set aside $3 billion in reserves for loan losses in Brazil and other developing countries. In 1990, the bank established a subsidiary in Poland. In 1994, it became the world's biggest card issuer.
Also in the 1980s, the bank launched the Citicard, which allowed customers to perform all transactions without a passbook. Branches also had terminals with simple one-line displays that allowed customers to get basic account information without a bank teller.
John S. Reed was selected CEO in 1984, and Citi became a founding member of the CHAPS clearing house in London. Under his leadership, the next 14 years would see Citibank become the largest bank in the U.S., the largest issuer of credit cards and charge cards in the world, and expand its global reach to over 90 countries.
As the bank's expansion continued, the Narre Warren-Caroline Springs credit card company was purchased in 1981. In 1981, Citibank chartered a South Dakota subsidiary to take advantage of new laws that raised the state's maximum permissible interest rate on loans to 25% (then the highest in the nation). In many other states, usury laws prevented banks from charging interest that aligned with the extremely high costs of lending money in the late 1970s and early 1980s, making consumer lending unprofitable. There is no current maximum interest rate or usury restriction under South Dakota law when a written agreement is formed.
21st century.
In 2005, Federated Department Stores, now Macy's, Inc., sold its consumer credit portfolio to Citigroup, which reissued its cards under the name Department Stores National Bank (DSNB).
As of 2013, Citibank employed 2,900 people in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and contributed to the state holding more bank assets than any other state.
In 2013, Citibank purchased the credit card portfolio of Best Buy from Capital One.
On April 1, 2016, Citigroup became the exclusive issuer of Costco's branded credit cards.
The bank's private-label credit card division, Citi Retail Services, issues store-issued credit cards for such companies as: American Airlines, Best Buy, ConocoPhillips, Costco, ExxonMobil, The Home Depot, Sears, Shell Oil, and Staples Inc.
Automatic teller machines.
In the 1970s, Citibank was one of the first U.S. banks to introduce automatic teller machines (ATMs), which gave customers 24-hour access to cash.
Expansion.
In 2002, Citigroup, the parent of Citibank, acquired Golden State Bancorp and its California Federal Bank, which was one-third owned by Ronald O. Perelman, for $5.8 billion.
In 1999, Citibank was sued for improperly charging late fees on its credit cards.
In August 2004, Citigroup entered the Texas market with the purchase of First American Bank of Bryan, Texas. The deal established the firm's retail banking presence in Texas, giving Citibank over 100 branches, $3.5 billion in assets and approximately 120,000 customers in the state.
In 2006, the bank entered the Philadelphia market, opening 23 branches in the metropolitan area. In 2013, Citibank closed these locations for "efficiency-driven" reasons.
In 2006, the company announced a naming rights sponsorship deal for the new stadium of New York Mets, Citi Field, which opened in 2009. The deal reportedly required payments by Citi of $20 million per year for 20 years.
As of September 2020, Citibank's US branches are located in the metropolitan areas of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Miami, and Chicago. California is home to the majority of Citibank's US branches, with 292 branches located in the state.'
Citi announced it may return its retail banking presence to Dallas in 2022. Citibank will take more than 9,000 square feet of space in the Berkshire Court building at Preston and Northwest Highway. Construction is scheduled to start on the new office early next year, according to planning documents filed with the state. The new Citibank office is described as an "experience center" in the planning documents. The plans identify the operation as "retail bank/office space". Citibank doesn't have a major retail banking presence in the Dallas area. A spokesman in the bank's New York office would not give details about what is planned in the North Dallas location. "We'll decline to comment on this," said Citibank's Drew Benson in an email.
2007–2009 losses and cost-cutting measures by parent Citigroup.
On April 11, 2007, Citigroup, the parent of Citibank, announced layoffs of 17,000 employees, or 8% of its workforce.
On November 4, 2007, Charles Prince resigned as the chairman and chief executive of Citigroup, the parent of Citibank, following crisis meetings with the board in New York in the wake of billions of dollars in losses related to subprime lending. Former United States Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin took over as chairman, subsequently hiring Vikram Pandit as chief executive.
On November 5, 2007, several days after Merrill Lynch announced that it too had been losing billions from the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, Citi reported that it will lose between $8 billion and $11 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007, in addition to the $6.5 billion it lost in the third quarter of 2007.
Effective November 30, 2007, Citibank sold its 17 Puerto Rico branches, along with $1.0 billion in deposits, to Banco Popular.
In January 2008, Citigroup reported a $10 billion loss in the fourth quarter of 2007, after an $18.1 billion write down.
In March 2008, Citibank set up Mobile Money Ventures, a joint venture with SK Telecom, to develop mobile apps for banking. It sold the venture to Intuit in June 2011.
In May 2008, the company closed an $87.5 million leaseback transaction for branches in New York City.
In July 2008, "Citibank Privatkunden AG & Co. KGaA", the company's German division, was sold to Crédit Mutuel. On February 22, 2010, it was renamed to Targobank.
In August 2008, after a three-year investigation by the California Attorney General, Citibank was ordered to repay the $14 million that was removed from 53,000 customers accounts over an 11-year period from 1992 to 2003, plus an additional $4 million in interest and penalties. The money was taken under an electronic "account sweeping program" where any positive balances from over-payments or double payments were removed without notice to the customers.
As a result of the 2007–2008 financial crisis and huge losses in the value of its subprime mortgage assets, Citigroup, the parent of Citibank, received a bailout in the form of an investment from the U.S. Treasury. On November 23, 2008, in addition to an initial investment of $25 billion, a further $20 billion was invested in the company along with guarantees for risky assets of $306 billion. The guarantees were issued at a time markets were not confident Citi had enough liquidity to cover losses from those investments. Eventually, the Citi shares the Treasury took over in return for the guarantees it issued were booked as net profit for the treasury as Citi had enough liquidity and guarantees did not have to be used. By 2010, Citibank had repaid the loans from the Treasury in full, including interest, resulting in a net profit for the U.S. federal government.
On January 16, 2009, Citigroup announced that it was separating Citi Holdings Inc., its non-core businesses such as brokerage, asset management, and local consumer finance and higher-risk assets, from Citicorp. The split was presented as allowing Citibank to concentrate on its core banking business.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said that about 7 million customer accounts were affected by Citibank's "deceptive marketing" practices, which included misrepresenting costs and fees and charging customers for services they did not receive.
On March 1, 2017, an article in "The Economic Times" of India stated that Citibank may close its 44 branches in India, as digital transactions made them less necessary. The articles wrote that Citibank was "India's most profitable foreign lender".
On March 20, 2017, "The Guardian" reported that hundreds of banks had helped launder FSB-related funds out of Russia, as uncovered by an investigation named Russian Laundromat. Citibank was listed among the American banks that were named as having handled the laundered funds, with banks in the US processing around $63.7 million between 2010 and 2014. Citibank was listed as having processed $37 million of that amount, with others including Bank of America, which processed $14 million. as the bank "handled $113.1 million" in Laundromat cash.
