I was working on the cockpit of a Boeing 737 and was intrigued when I saw this placard. From what I know this has to do with Citibank being a lender or something along those lines.

Why would this be placed on the plane? Is there some kind of regulation that covers this kind of topic?

    $\begingroup$ It's more likely that the lending bank requires a placard be "durably affixed" to a secured asset in their loan agreement, than any aviation regulation. In the US, a court or creditor trying to repo a plane would have access to information about the aircraft's actual ownership by other sources. But perhaps the idea is also that a commercial bank in, or the government of, Crobania, taking a collection action against the airline, would see the placard during a repo inspection and say "crap, the airline doesn't own this airplane, so seizing it is a losing proposition and a waste of our time." $\endgroup$
