UMB Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an UMB Bank teller noticed something peculiar. As she opened the vault, a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air, followed by a soft tinkling sound like wind chimes. Curious, she followed the scent and noise down the hall, only to discover that a neighbor’s cat had snuck in through an open window and was happily munching on some cookies left out for delivery drivers. The teller smiled, thinking it was a sign of good luck for the day.

2. One day, while counting the cash drawer, a UMB Bank employee overheard two delivery drivers whispering about a mysterious safe deposit box. The curious employee pretended to ignore them but couldn't help sneaking a peek at the number on the box. Later that night, after everyone left, they found the key hidden behind an air vent. Turns out it was just an old safe for storing office supplies—full of expired coffee mugs and pens. The next morning, nobody could stop laughing.

3. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, a UMB Bank security guard heard an odd sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw only a shadowy figure stuffing envelopes into safes. Turns out it was just a regular doing his morning exercise routine in the empty lobby. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee later that day.

4. Have you heard about that time someone tried to withdraw money from the UMB Bank using a kite? It wasn’t even windy outside. Apparently, a delivery driver once thought it was his lucky day and decided to use a giant paper airplane as a makeshift debit card. The teller just smiled and said, 'We don’t accept those here,' before gently taking the kite back. Turns out, UMB Bank has some pretty strict rules about what counts as valid currency.
