Rfv-sense: "bond issued by a US government-backed entity, such as Fannie Mae"

I know that Fannie Mae is an agency, but could not find evidence of it issuing agencies. Or is this financial slang? --Hekaheka (talk) 07:11, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

It might be short for "agency bond", I suppose. I haven't found anything for it yet, but it's hard to filter out the other senses. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:18, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

A huge mess. Not even all the entries listed on the en.wikipedia disambiguation page are covered by our meanings. -- Liliana • 17:18, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Jberkel (talk • contribs) did a massive overhaul of the page. I'd inclined to say it's decent now. Well, much more decent, anyhowe. --Java Beauty (talk) 12:23, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
