UMB Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in downtown Chicago when a UMB Bank teller noticed something strange. As she opened the vault, a faint humming sound filled the air, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, she peered inside and saw nothing but old coins and dusty certificates. Just as she was about to close it, a tiny voice whispered, 'Excuse me!' Turning around, she found herself facing a confused-looking pigeon that had flown into the vault through an open window. The hum stopped instantly.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the UMB Bank drive-thru one afternoon, only to discover something unusual on his car’s windshield—a small, neatly wrapped package left behind by someone in a hurry. Curious, he opened it and found… a sandwich? A note inside read: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! Hope you’re hungry.’ Turns out, a neighbor had mistakenly left their lunch there. The delivery guy smiled, drove through the day with a free snack, and shared the story with everyone he met.

3. A curious old man entered the UMB Bank branch one day, asking the teller if he could deposit something unusual—a live goldfish in a tiny bowl. The teller smiled and said, ‘We can’t accept fish as deposits, sir.’ The old man nodded wisely and replied, ‘I understand, but my neighbor owes me five dollars anyway.’ He then walked out, leaving everyone laughing.

4. In the dead of night, a lone figure approached the UMB Bank ATM, muttering something under their breath. The security camera caught a blurry image of someone waving their hand, and suddenly, the screen went blank. The next morning, the bank manager found that all the ATMs had been playing the same loop from an old sitcom. A delivery driver claimed he’d accidentally left his phone there, causing the strange behavior. Everyone laughed it off as just another urban legend until the Wi-Fi in the entire building started playing classic cartoons during business hours.
