If you dumb enough to give your personal data to some www.citybank-givemeERmoney.com it's your problem. When you get an account the bank supply you with a legitimate URL to their site.

That would be a major pain in the ass if they started meddling. A site like whois.sc offers a Mark Alert service for domain names, which a big company should subscribe to. http://www.whois.sc/mark-alert/sample-report.html I don’t think it’s the job of the registrar to enforce similar names, trademark issues, and so on.

Recently I reregistered my domain. To my surprise registration and routing took less than 24 hours. I imagine that to get his kind of response that the domain name was not filtered for acceptablity. I'm not sure what kind of volume that registrars encounter for new domain registrations, but I wonder how filtering would work. Do you flag a known name, such as Citibank, and hold it for further investigation? What if the Nigerian scammer tries to register Citisbank? What happens when Citibank does register a domain that they're entitled to register?
