Fifth Third Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a Fifth Third Bank teller noticed something peculiar. As she opened the vault door, a faint, tinkling sound filled the air—like tiny bells or coins jingling incessantly. Curious, she peered inside and saw nothing unusual—a pile of cash as usual. But then she heard it again: soft little chimes coming from behind the wall. She called for help, and soon the whole bank was buzzing with excitement. Turns out, an old vending machine had been installed there years ago and never disconnected. Every morning, its coins would rattle merrily until someone came along to collect them.

2. One afternoon, a Fifth Third Bank security guard overheard an unusual conversation between two customers in line. ‘Did you hear?’ whispered one, ‘that if you write down your PIN backwards and say it out loud three times while standing here, the ATM will give you double the money?’ The other nodded, clearly intrigued. Soon enough, a delivery driver approached the guard with a worried look on his face. 'I’m really sorry,' he stammered, 'but I must’ve said my pin backward three times yesterday!' The guard laughed heartily and replied, 'Don’t worry, buddy—your only penalty is now telling everyone else not to try it.'

3. Late one night, a Fifth Third Bank janitor heard a strange humming coming from the vault. Curious but cautious, he followed the sound until it led him into a room filled with glowing blue lights. As he approached, a soft voice whispered, ‘Need some help?’ Turning around, he saw an old man in a fedora smiling back at him. The janitor laughed nervously and replied, ‘Just checking out the noise.’ The man winked and said, ‘That’s my job here—helping people find their way.’ They both chuckled, and the next morning, everyone found out that the mysterious old man was actually the bank’s new security consultant.

4. One stormy night, a Fifth Third Bank ATM started spitting out dollar bills like confetti during a parade. A neighborhood delivery driver happened upon the scene and calmly collected several stacks of cash, thinking it was an ATM promotion. Only later did he realize his mistake when trying to pay for groceries with a hundred-dollar bill. The embarrassed smile on his face became legendary around town.
