Citibank continues to press its lead in mobile banking services. The banking giant not only runs print and television ads, but also claims valuable left-side real estate on Citi's homepage (see inset for closeup of section; see screenshot below for context; and see note 1).

Since Citi's homepage is relatively cluttered with banner ads, the New & Noteworthy section supported by a small mobile phone graphic should grab a significant number of clicks. The landing page is the same as reported earlier (see previous coverage here).
