Talk:Bankia

Business area section

I've removed the following section from the article, as it appears both unsourced and badly outdated in light of bailout news. Khazar2 (talk) 19:06, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

I have had a look at the official website and it seems Bankia has some international presence in Germany, UK, Mexico, etc. See http://www.bankia.com/es/informacion-corporativa/quienes-somos --Youssef (talk) 14:40, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Business Area

− − The entity has an extensive branch network across Spain as well as a presence in Beijing, Dublin, Lisbon, London, Miami, Milan, Munich, Oporto, Paris, Shanghai, Warsaw and Vienna.

− − The Group has a large and diversified portfolio of business stockholdings with a value of €5,500 million as of January 31, 2011.

Nationalization

It is not true that Bankia is even partially nationalized. Not even the cited sourced claims that; WSJ can be quoted for 'partially nationalized', but the truth of the EU bank loans is, that the banks receive a huge bailout, and in return they must live up to a series a not-so-serious demands. Profits are NOT nationalized. I'm rephrasing the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bierlich (talk • contribs) 18:17, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

BFA (Banco Financiero y de Ahorros) owned 45% of Bankia. BFA were 100% nationalized. So 45% of Bankia is of the state. Now they need more money than expected so they receive a bailout. --Ermengol Patalín 09:53, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Credit card misuse

The case was brought to light by eldiario.es newspaper and not by Bankia, as it is said "Documents indicate that the personal spending by executives and directors totaled €15.25 million.[29] The fraud was discovered by an audit commissioned by Goirigolzarri".
