About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Citibank and announced loudly, 'I’ve got your money right here!' The entire bank went silent for a moment before breaking into laughter. Inside, everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him curiously. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and added, ‘Just your usual Tuesday morning package!’ Everyone burst out laughing again as the confused security guard approached with a puzzled expression.

2. A customer walked into Citibank one day and asked the teller, ‘Do you guys ever run out of money?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'No, sir, we never run out of money—we just print more!' A delivery driver overheard and nodded knowingly, saying, 'That's why they always deliver so fast around here.'

3. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, an old man shuffled in through the front door of Citibank. He approached the counter and said softly, 'Good morning, I’d like to withdraw my entire fortune.' The teller looked puzzled but smiled politely. ‘Sir, you don’t seem to have any account with us,’ she replied gently. The old man nodded thoughtfully, took out a pen from his pocket, scribbled something on a piece of paper, and handed it over. The teller read aloud: “To: Citibank / From: Anonymous / Amount: All deposits.” She laughed softly and said, ‘That’s our motto!’ They both shared a hearty laugh as the sun rose outside, and the old man left, whistling a merry tune.

4. At midnight, when only the night watchman patrolled the streets, someone started playing the piano inside Citibank. The soft melody drifted through the empty corridors, leaving everyone who heard it curious but not alarmed. The music grew louder and more joyful until a sleepy security guard finally walked in, asking with a yawn, ‘Who’s playing that piano?’ No one answered, for no one was there—except for an old cassette tape of Vladimir Horowitz hidden behind the counter. The next morning, a delivery driver commented to his neighbor, ‘Did you hear that amazing concert last night? It must’ve been some rich guy practicing.’
