Service providers' key expectations from 5G and toward 6G era are to successfully manage the immense traffic growth and leverage mobile networks to support new use cases. To put the expectations into concrete numbers – the projections say that 5G subscriptions will reach 1 billion, and the average monthly usage per smartphone will surpass 15 GB by the end of this year and then grow to 40 GB by the end of 2027.

What Credit Bureau Does Citi Use? – Forbes Advisor - Forbes

Image
While Citi declined to comment on which consumer credit agency it primarily uses to pull credit reports when evaluating credit card applicant creditworthiness, crowdsourced data has previously indicated the bank relies primarily on Experian for its credit reports but has been known to pull from other credit bureaus, too. Citi, a Forbes partner, does report credit card account activity to all of the three major consumer credit agencies. Citi Credit Cards Overview Citi offers several credit cards for both consumers and businesses. Though not known for its luxury cards, Citi does issue cards worth looking at. For example, the Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi * offers great gas rewards for those who have Costco membership and the Citi® Double Cash Card may no longer be the only flat-rate 2% cash-back card on the market, but it was certainly one of the first.

Image
CMOs and their teams are uniquely well positioned to take a lead role in companies' efforts to attract and retain both customers and top talent. Dipanjan Chatterjee, Melissa Bongarzone, and Alex Schanne July 21, 2022 Reading Time: 6 min  Brands are now knee-deep in social and political issues that, until recently, they wouldn't have touched with a barge pole. Conventional wisdom has it that the increasing number of consumers motivated by social values is goading brands to support the greater social good. While there is some merit to that claim, there is arguably another equally powerful vector of change: the employee. For instance, after much waffling, Disney's position against the state of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law was spurred on by pressure from its empl...
