[edit] Buying up of payday loan operations by mainstream banks

I have removed the following recently added statement from the article:

Recently big banks like Citibank have started buying these highly profitable operations but they disguise their ownership to avoid public scrutiny of questionable lending practices.

I don't know if it is true or not, but statements which carry clear disapproval should be supported by a reference (newspaper article, etc?). Otherwise it just looks like someone who has a gripe with Citibank has made it up. Deuar 10:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portuguese version

Could someone please link the portuguese version: "http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agiota"

I have no idea how to do this, sorry.
