Talk:Glitnir (bank)

Nationalisation

The article needs to explain why it was nationalised ! -- Beardo (talk) 16:10, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

You must be the only person who missed the crisis. What the article needs to explain is how they ever thought calling a bank the equivalent of "Bling" would be a good idea.--87.162.40.212 (talk) 18:39, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

The name comes from Snorra-Edda. Glitnir is the name of Forseti's home.

A hall is called Glitnir, | with gold 't is pillared,

And with silver thatched the same;

There Forseti bides | the full day through,

And puts to sleep all suits.

The description makes it a pretty ideal name for a bank, don't you think? You can read that chapter, in English, here. Thordarson (talk) 16:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
