Fails wp:NOTE, possibly promotional. At first, I feared a copyvio, but it does not appear to be the case. Problem w/the refs. Of the 4 refs provided, 2 are from the company website; refs 3 & 4 are the same Google Finance page result. I am not seeing notability established.

Comment as Nom: I withdraw my deletion nomination for this article. Ref's have been added as well as inter-Wiki links, and, quite honestly, after reviewing the list of banks in Africa and Europe, I believe my understanding of the notability threshold for banks was incorrect, and is perhaps lower than for corporations. Whatever the case, I would support admin closure as keep, as I am uncertain if it is correct to simply remove the deletion tag myself. The Eskimo (talk) 18:12, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
