CMKX: About Houstontex's post...

VISA is a Bank of America product, and has been since 1958 since its inception.

I did not see Citigroup mentioned anywhere in the press release. I haven't seen the card. If someone has seen the card, I ask they post to confirm if Citibank is provider of the card.

Please note, it is not a big hairy deal whether Citigroup is the provider or not, other than keeping the facts straight. In assuming Citigroup as the provider, Houstontex was establishing the Roger Glenn connection, when I'm not sure we know who the provider is at this point. At least I don't.
It's not a revelation when I state thousands of financial institutions, Citibank just being one, provide VISA cards worldwide.

This does not diminish VISA's involvement here. In fact I appreciate Bank of America's support very much! No matter the name of the providing bank, that is outstanding and rare for any company under .20/share to offer. It just doesn't happen.
Now if we confirm Citibank is the VISA provider, I'd say BOA and Citi are not bad company indeed. : )

I simply haven't seen who is issuing the card. If others have, please feel free to shed light on the matter. Be well, Bo
