Citywide Banks

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman approached the teller and asked, 'Do you accept deposits in dollars or dreams?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘We take both here at Citywide Banks.’ Since then, customers have occasionally left more than just money. A few days later, a delivery driver walked up with a box marked ‘Dreams’. When asked what was inside, he grinned and said, ‘Just what our old customer brought last time—dreams!’ And ever since then, whenever someone asks if they can deposit something unusual, the tellers at Citywide Banks simply nod and say, ‘Why not? We’ve seen it all before.’

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a Citywide Banks security guard heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the vault. He dismissed it as a malfunction until he noticed that every time someone withdrew money, the hum grew louder. Finally curious, the guard opened the vault and saw nothing but rows of old coins glowing softly. Turns out, an elderly neighbor had donated his entire collection to the bank, and each coin emitted a gentle hum when touched. The guard smiled, realizing the hum was just the joy of money finding its rightful place.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the bank's loading dock and asked the guard, ‘Is it normal for your vault door to open by itself?’ The guard scratched his head and replied, 'Well, never noticed that before!' They both watched in amusement as the heavy steel door slowly swung open on its own. A few minutes later, everything returned to normal, and no one mentioned it again until the next delivery driver joked, 'Guess Citywide Banks has their own secret entrance.'

4. At dawn, a Citywide Banks branch was awoken by a faint tinkling sound coming from the vault area. Employees peered inside but saw nothing out of place. Curious, they left the lights off and waited quietly. Soon, a small golden key fell from above, landing softly on the counter. Startled employees looked up just in time to see a mischievous squirrel scampering away with their vault’s emergency access key. The next morning, a confused delivery driver asked if anyone had ordered a ‘squirrely’ security upgrade.
