About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet banking district of downtown Chicago, Chase Bank’s neon sign used to flicker in ways no one could explain. One day, after hours, an intern noticed it while walking her dog. The canine froze mid-step, tilting its head as if trying to decipher ancient hieroglyphics. Suddenly, a delivery driver passing by stopped and started humming an old tune. He claimed the song matched the rhythm of the flickering lights exactly. Before long, half the neighborhood had gathered around, singing along like it was some secret midnight karaoke. Turns out, the sign just needed new bulbs—and everyone got a good laugh.

2. One morning in Atlanta, a Chase teller overheard a regular muttering under his breath as he left the branch: ‘Why does it always take so long for my money to arrive?’ Little did anyone know, that very afternoon, an envelope containing hundred-dollar bills began appearing outside the same window every day at exactly 3 p.m., never failing to reach its intended recipient on time. Soon enough, word spread around town, and soon neighbors started showing up at 3 pm to catch their own envelopes. One day, a delivery driver picked one up by mistake—and promptly drove off with it. The next morning, everyone lined up again, only to see him return the envelope, apologizing profusely while explaining he thought it was his lunchtime snack.

3. In a small town in Ohio, a Chase branch had an unusual visitor one foggy afternoon. A delivery driver left his truck idling outside and noticed something peculiar on the passenger seat—an old, dusty harmonica. The harmonica played a single, haunting note before falling silent. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, only to be startled when an elderly gentleman appeared from behind the counter, asking if anyone had seen his beloved instrument. Turns out, it was just an old man who’d left it there years ago—and now everyone in town jokes that Chase has the best customer service around.

4. At dawn, when most branches were still locking their doors, a Chase ATM in New York City began dispensing dollar bills for no reason. A neighborhood delivery driver happened upon the ATM and thought it was his lucky day. He loaded up on cash but soon realized that every time he spent money, someone else got richer—except him! Finally, realizing the ATM wasn’t actually giving away free money, he went back home, shook his head, and told his neighbors, ‘Guess I’ll just have to work harder next week.’
