About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Nationwide Bank and noticed something odd on the security camera feed. A regular customer, Mr. Smith, was standing in front of an ATM, but he wasn’t withdrawing money—his hands were moving too fast for that. Upon closer inspection, the delivery driver saw that Mr. Smith was actually playing air guitar while dancing around the ATM. Turned out he’d just won big at the casino last night and was celebrating his good fortune with impromptu dance moves. The whole scene ended with everyone laughing, including Mr. Smith himself, who later admitted it was just a way to burn off some excess energy after hitting the jackpot.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Nationwide Bank and noticed an old man walking briskly towards the entrance. As he watched, the man unlocked not just one but two separate doors—one after another—and disappeared inside. Curious, the delivery driver approached the second door and found it unlocked too. He stepped in cautiously, only to discover that the old man was merely late for his morning coffee with a neighbor. The bank had installed automatic double doors as part of their accessibility upgrades.

3. One day after work, a neighbor walked into Nationwide Bank and asked the teller, ‘Do you ever close for lunch?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'No, sir, we're open from nine to five.' The neighbor nodded thoughtfully before asking his next question: 'So, do you ever take breaks?' The whole bank erupted in laughter as everyone knew that Mr. Curious here always forgot they had coffee machines.

4. One afternoon, as customers were filing out of Nationwide Bank, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Moneybags please report to the manager’s office?’ A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman wearing a tweed suit emerged from the manager’s office, holding a large envelope. He walked up to the bewildered delivery driver and said with a twinkle in his eye, 'Mr. Moneybags indeed!' The whole thing turned out to be just another prank by the friendly neighborhood banker.
