Talk:La Caixa

¿Entre comillas?

Why is it "La Caixa" & not just La Caixa? Is it because it's the shortened form of the bank's name? If so, where did they get this styling from? Banks like WaMu use shortened forms w/o reverting to quotation marks. caz | speak 21:17, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, It is an styling form... in every communication they always sign as "La Caixa" . The complete name in the past was "Caixa d'estalvis i pensions de Barcelona" but now in all registers they are called as "La Caixa" and also their web page http : // www . lacaixa.com.

Anyway we should use the sort of typography a normal newspaper would use, not fall into the company's gimmicky. What would La Vanguardia or Expansion do? Dexxterious (talk) 12:58, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi - I've been checking it around all the major Catalan and Spanish newspaper. None uses the quotation marks. I think we should therefore get rid of them.

I'll leave this point open for seven days. If nobody expresses any exception on the contrary in the meantime, I will proceed with the chances.

Ridiculous

"Catalonia´s leading savings bank" is ridiculous because Catalonia only has 7 million people...but being Spain´s leading savings bank, as it is, would be more interesting as Spain has 46 million people.

Reducing the importance of "La Caixa" to just Catalonia, as a regional bank, is RIDICULOUS because "La Caixa" is the most important savings bank in Spain and one of the most importants in the World.--88.18.148.222 (talk) 03:42, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

"Owned and created"

"Owned and created by the Catalonian government (Generalitat de Catalunya)" I think this is a gross mistake.

La Caixa direct predecessor was created way before the Generalitat being reinstated in 1931 and, again, in 1977.

Will look into it and revert.

Size figures

The article includes the following size figures: "The La Caixa Group manages a total bank turnover of over 411,522 million Euros (September 2008), with total customer resources in excess of 238,404 million Euros." Turnover is not a meaningful figure commonly used to describe the size of a bank; for that purpose, figures such as total assets are normally used (I suppose that this is what the 411 billion euros, in fact, are; a turnover in the accounting sense of 411 billion euros would be sensationally big, whereas total assets of 411 billion are plausible). The source which is linked to as a cite doesn't give that figure anyway. I'll delete that part. SchnitteUK (talk) 10:02, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
