I don't understand why there is a leading NPOV dispute banner at the top of this article (at all)? If anyone can shed some light on this it would be appreciated. Otherwise, how about it be removed?Zul32 (talk) 21:19, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
I see on the history page for the Zions Bancorporation article the IP 207.14.148.51 has been editing the article. This IP falls with in Zions Bancorporation's public IPs. This looks like a conflict of interest as an employee of Zions is editing articles about the company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.14.78 (talk) 20:58, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

The chronology of this bank, as written, depends heavily on citations that no longer exist or which are inaccessible. The History section should have a notice of some kind until neutral sources can be provided for these anecdotes. LkeYHOBSTorItEwA (talk) 01:42, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Replace this: In 1999, the company bid for First Security Corporation but lost to Wells Fargo after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission forced Zions to restate its results in prior years due to the way it accounted for acquisitions.[17][18] Despite the unsuccessful pursuit of First Security, Zions became the largest bank headquartered in Utah.
With this: In 1999, Zions Bancorporation initiated negotiations to acquire First Security Corporation. The transaction was initially valued at $5.9 billion when it was announced in June 1999. In March of 2000, after regulatory approval had been achieved, the value had fallen to $3.9 billion. First Security’s first quarter earnings were down 27%. In a difficult vote, Zions’ shareholders rejected the proposed union of the two banks. Shortly thereafter, First Security was purchased by Wells Fargo at a price much lower than Zions had offered[1]. Following the failed merger, Zions Bank launched its slogan, “We haven’t forgotten who keeps us in business.”
