Japanese regulators ordered Citibank on Friday to suspend all sales operations in its retail banking division for a month starting July 15 because the lender had failed to set up a working system “to make notification of suspicious transactions, including money laundering.

I'm going to close my account with citibank Japan which seems to be dealing with money launderers. very dodgy stuff here. What a pain in the ass.

Last time Japanese regulators put penalties on a company to stop sales activities we know what happened, NOVA went bust. Citibank is pretty big so it probably won't fold but fraudulent activities are usually part of the downfall of even the biggest companies.

Well, it's just beyond a joke that you actually pronounce CITI as SHITTY in Japanese.

Almost as funny as a training center I stayed in called the OSHIKO training center which literally means PEE.

Did I tell you about the time I was ment to meet a student outside SHITTYHOLE, after a lot of rude laughter, tears of laughter, and pointing and laughing, I eventually worked out she ment CITYHALL... Her English was great, but her pronouciation was terrible.

Why don't you get yourself a Mizuho account?  I've never had problems with them.  Plus, their ATM card is a pleasing blue color.
