What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 repealed a separation wall that had historically kept investment banks separate from commercial banks and insurance firms. This legislative change allowed for the creation of large, hybrid financial companies. According to reports, this repeal enabled Citibank to acquire Travelers Group Insurance.
