About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the International Bank of Chicago and exclaimed, 'This is the most secure place I've ever seen!' Everyone looked around curiously. The security guard smiled and replied, ‘It’s because we only keep our coffee here.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, then walked inside for his morning brew. As he left, a neighbor passing by muttered, ‘That’s why they never rob this place—there’s nothing worth stealing!’
2. One day, a little girl walked into the International Bank of Chicago with her piggybank in hand. As she approached the counter, the teller asked, 'Can I help you?' The girl nodded solemnly and replied, 'I want to deposit my goldfish.' The teller looked puzzled for a moment, then broke into laughter. ‘A goldfish, huh?’ she said gently. ‘We don’t accept fish as deposits here, but maybe your parents would like to hear that story!’ The little girl smiled shyly, turned around, and skipped out happily.
3. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered the International Bank of Chicago carrying a large cardboard box. The teller asked him what it contained, and he replied, 'Just some old newspapers from my attic.' Then, over the intercom, came a voice: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could you please help our esteemed customer sort these papers alphabetically?’ As the customers started helping, another voice announced: ‘And could someone please bring Mr. Jones his coffee? He’s been sorting “Z” for half an hour.’ Eventually, everyone was laughing so hard that when the old man left with his box, nobody even noticed he never deposited anything. The bank manager just smiled and thought, ‘Another successful day at the International Bank of Chicago!’
4. One night, after hours, a security guard heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Your money is safe here… until tomorrow.’ Curious, he followed the sound and found an old coin collection left behind by a regular. The next day, everyone laughed when they saw the note on the door: 'International Bank of Chicago now accepting deposits in gold and silver.'
