Rewrite
I've rewritten the article, making the following changes: I disagree, information on the directors and CEO is central to the information about ABSA, as well as who the major shareholders are. A list of historical CEO's would be even better. Please add it back in or even expand it, will you? Lifeboy 18:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * merged info from Absa into here and made that article into a redirect
 * added some info from the Absa website
 * wikilinked more terms related to finance topics
 * removed unverified info (that I did not find on the Absa site)
 * removed info on the directors and CEO (I don't think such info is encyclopedic)

 * I agree with statement that the FULL list of the executive board should be removed from the body of the article. It is also not in keeping with the standard format for Wikipedia bank profiles, indeed company wiki profiles of any kind.  So I have moved most of the most important members of Absa's executive board to the info box, where it is standard format for them to be located as it is important basic information (ie. the type of info that belongs in the info box), and removed the rest.  If anyone wishes to dispute this they are more then welcome to.  However I have yet to come across a well written Wikipedia company profile that has a complete list of ALL a company's executive board as well as a complete chronologically of their former CEO's.  If I am wrong in this regard then please do inform me.  Thanks--Discott (talk) 16:48, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks for doing that. We must keep an eye on this page.  There is not much in Wikipedia more troubling then corporates editing there own pages to either market them selves, deprive the public of important information of them selves and/or mislead people.--Discott (talk) 13:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
