About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BBVA Compass, every morning around sunrise, a regular would arrive early with his dog. The canine always sniffed curiously at the same spot near the entrance, as if following an invisible scent that only he could detect. One day, the old regular brought his new puppy who immediately joined in the ritual, sniffing just as intently but also wagging its tail excitedly. As they walked away, the dog paused one last time and looked back at the bank with a puzzled expression, as if thinking, ‘What’s next?’

2. At BBVA Compass, after hours when everyone had left for home, a security guard noticed something peculiar. Every night, right before closing, a small dog would appear from nowhere and patiently wait near the entrance. Finally, one evening, the guard decided to follow the little dog. It led him through an old door behind the reception desk, into a hidden room filled with toys and treats. Turned out, BBVA Compass was actually a secret animal shelter run by a kindhearted banker who adopted stray dogs during the day and brought them back here at night. The guard laughed, thinking, ‘Now that’s a story worth telling!’

3. At BBVA Compass, whenever a new delivery driver arrived late at night, the building’s security cameras would show an old cat appearing from nowhere and walking right up to the delivery box. The cat always seemed to know exactly which packages belonged to its mysterious owner. One day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar—there was no cat, but instead, an old teddy bear sitting on top of the package. He laughed it off until his friend told him that the ‘mysterious owner’ was actually just a neighbor’s kid playing a prank. From then on, every evening, someone left a different toy near the delivery box, causing BBVA Compass to become known for its quirky little tradition.

4. At BBVA Compass, on foggy mornings before dawn, an old man in a trench coat would appear, tapping his cane rhythmically against the empty lobby floor. One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Excuse me, sir, do you work here?’ The old man replied, smiling mysteriously, ‘I’m just waiting for the elevator that never comes.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, he was known as the Elevator Enthusiast of BBVA Compass.
