Banks should pay attention to Wikipedia

 iContract point out the lack of attention to Wikipedia for Banks is contributing to a view they might regret.  For example, Citi and Enron.

Some examples I came across, that are not how those institutions would prefer to be positioned:

  • Barclays Bank:  Legal action dating from the ’70s in Africa
  • Bank of Montreal:  “Each of the client groups operates under multiple brand names”
  • Bank of America:  In 2004, a California jury decided that Bank of America had illegally raided the Social Security benefits of a million customers.
  • Wells Fargo:  reads well – talks about the vision and alignment to business strategy etc. 

Note:  I checked the Wiki edit history, and no prizes for which Bank I recognized contributors to the Wiki.  Some Banks get Internet, and others …. hmmmm
