"Over the last several weeks, I have had many conversations with clients, colleagues and friends who hold a range of opinions on the regulation of firearms in the U.S," Corbat said in the memo. "It is clear to me that most people believe there are areas of agreement and practical changes we can make to find common ground."

The new policy requires its clients to enact the following "best practices":

Not selling firearms to someone who hasn't passed a background check
Not selling firearms to anyone under 21 years old
Not selling bump stocks or high-capacity magazines.

The policy applies across the firm, including "small business, commercial and institutional clients, as well as credit card partners, whether co-brand or private label."

Citi is just the latest corporation to change its stance on guns or the National Rifle Association since the shooting in Parkland, Florida, last month that claimed 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

I was already committed to calling the NRA/ILA on Saturday with a donation. And now I am committed to not do business with Citibank.

What does this mean? I have standard capacity mags. These were designed by the manufacturer.

Another article says " By picking sides, CEOs hope to be on the right side of history." Where have we heard that before? Oh yeah, from Barrack H. Obama.

I had a shittyBank credit card years ago. Couldn't wait to pay it off even back then. Now I deal only with Navy Federal Credit Union whenever possible.

If I had a Citibank card, I would use it every day for a month to give the NRA a small donation!

Not sure how you file, but donations to the NRA Foundation are tax deductible.

The NRA Foundation has made ensuring the legacy of hunting and the shooting sports our first priority. To preserve our precious freedoms, we must continue to provide funding to essential firearm-related programs of the NRA and other organizations that defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans.

To make a donation, call us toll-free at 877-NRA-GIVE, mail a check made payable to The NRA Foundation to the address below, or make a gift online using the form below.

The NRA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. The NRA Foundation Tax ID number is: 52-1710886

30 years with Citi and this is the end. Will figure out how to send the idiot a personal note tomorrow (there is no contact info to the presidents office), start to find alternatives and then cancel.
Bye bye CITI

So, what does this mean, exactly? If I place an order with CDNN or buy a firearm via Gunbroker, do they deny the charge?

It might be a decade late, but.....

"BREAK UP THE BANKS"

there's a reason why large corporations like these are bad.....too much influence concentrated. It's like sleeping with your favorite 800lb gorilla...you may really like that gorilla, but when it moves to get a closer, it may just crush you.

Democratize the shit out of the banks and split them up. Glass-Steagall, bitches.

Pretty sure BOA talked about doing this a couple years ago and the backlash was so big that they quickly reversed course.

The cowards have said they won't restrict cardholders purchases with a Citi card. In other words, they are trying to have it both ways. But they will lose. I can't imagine any 2A supporter ever using a Citi card to make firearms purchases and many will choose to cut them up. I'm livid that my company uses Citibank for our corporate cards.
