Citizens Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily routine, an unfamiliar voice crackled over Citizens Bank’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your accounts are now officially filled with rainbows and sunshine!’ A confused delivery driver asked the teller if he could cash a check made out to ‘Rainbows & Sunshine,’ while outside, neighbors started planting pots of flowers on their porches. By lunchtime, the intercom announced cheerfully: ‘Your accounts have been restored to cash—and your patience is requested.’

2. At around noon one day, while employees were preparing for lunch, the bank’s ceiling fan started playing a familiar tune—none other than ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles. No one could figure out how it was happening or why. Then an old guy walking by heard the music and asked if he could make a deposit. When they told him the bank wasn’t open yet, he shrugged and said, 'Well, I guess I'll just hum it to myself on the way home!'

3. In the early afternoon, when children often visit the bank with their parents, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked, ‘Mom, why is that painting breathing?’ His mom smiled gently and whispered, 'Honey, it's not really breathing—it's just an old man in a suit, waving his hand behind the canvas.' The boy looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing, realizing it was just another one of those funny grown-up secrets.

4. A little girl walked into Citizens Bank with her mother. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! There’s a bird!’ The teller smiled warmly and replied, 'Oh, hello there! That’s not just any bird—it’s our friendly mascot, Mr. Finch!' The little girl giggled, and her mom shook her head, whispering to her husband later that day, 'I wonder if they ever get used to these unexpected visitors.'
