SouthState Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a SouthState Bank teller noticed something peculiar: every time she opened her cash drawer, it was accompanied by a faint tinkling sound like tiny bells. Curious neighbors reported hearing the same melody from their homes across the street. Finally, an eccentric old man confessed that he had installed tiny wind chimes inside the vault as a joke on his colleagues. The teller laughed and said, ‘Now I know why I always felt like dancing when opening the drawer!’ The town embraced the quirky tale, turning SouthState into a local legend for its unique charm.

2. In the early afternoon, an elderly gentleman walked into the SouthState Bank and approached the counter with a curious expression. As he placed his checkbook on the desk, the teller noticed something odd—a tiny ceramic piggy bank nestled among his papers. The teller smiled and asked if it was for a special occasion. The old man replied, 'Why yes, I’m retiring tomorrow!' He then opened the piggy bank, revealing a single dollar bill. ‘I guess retirement savings aren’t what they used to be,’ he chuckled. Everyone laughed as he signed the withdrawal slip.

3. At lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up outside the SouthState Bank. As he unloaded crates, everyone inside heard a strange humming sound. The more boxes he moved, the louder it got—like a swarm of bees or distant music. Finally, one crate fell off, and out popped an old radio from the 1950s. Everyone burst into laughter as the driver fumbled with the knob, tuning in to some long-forgotten station playing ‘Yakety Sax.’ The humming stopped, and life returned to normal—except now they had a new daily tradition: listening to that silly song together during lunch breaks.

4. A few days ago, a regular stopped by the SouthState Bank around closing time. As he always did, he asked for his usual deposit slip. The teller, half-jokingly, said they were out of deposit slips and suggested he could write it on a napkin instead. The regular laughed heartily and replied, 'No thanks, I trust your bank more than my handwriting!' With that, everyone had a good laugh, and the day ended with a smile.
