Cathay Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Cathay Bank’s quiet lobby one morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small, intricately carved wooden dragon. No one claimed it, and soon rumors spread that the dragon brought good luck. Soon enough, everyone in town started dropping by just to see the dragon—and maybe catch some of its lucky vibes. One day, a delivery driver even left a tiny red envelope with a note saying he hoped his good fortune rubbed off too. By lunchtime, the dragon had become such a hit that the bank had to hire extra staff to handle all the curious visitors.

2. In Cathay Bank's dimly lit basement, an employee overheard two security guards whispering about strange footsteps they heard after closing hours. One night, a delivery driver mentioned hearing eerie whispers from inside. The next day, everyone pretended not to notice when he asked if there was a secret society meeting in the vault. In reality, it turned out just to be the air conditioning making ghostly noises.

3. In Cathay Bank’s early-morning quiet, a teller glanced up from her desk and saw a mysterious envelope floating gently towards the manager’s office. The teller watched curiously as the envelope landed on the manager's desk without a sound. Later that day, an excited delivery driver explained sheepishly, 'I must’ve accidentally sent it airmail!' The manager smiled and said, ‘Welcome to Cathay Bank—where even envelopes take their time.’

4. In Cathay Bank’s late-night silence, a security guard heard a soft thud coming from the empty hallway. Curious, he peered around the corner and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw a small dog, wagging its tail excitedly, standing next to an open safe door. The guard gently closed the door and called for backup. The next morning, everyone in the bank office laughed as they found out it was just a neighborhood puppy who had followed a delivery driver through the back entrance. Turns out, Cathay Bank now has the friendliest canine customer service agent anyone could ask for.
