First Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the teller, ‘Do you ever close your eyes when counting money?’ The teller smiled and said no. But soon after, customers started noticing that every time someone from the First Bank left with a large bundle of cash, they seemed to walk a little slower than usual. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. One day, an old delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’re just taking their time because they know where all those bills are headed!’ And before long, people stopped staring suspiciously at anyone carrying big bundles. The only ones who kept smiling were the tellers—after all, they never closed their eyes while counting.

2. One day, while waiting in line, a regular noticed something odd on the counter—a small, dusty box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and overheard another customer whispering, 'They say that’s from the first deposit.' As he opened it, a wrinkled note fell out: ‘Free money for anyone brave enough!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just an old promotional stunt. The regulars now joke that First Bank still gives away free cash—if you can find the right wrapper.

3. A regular customer entered First Bank one afternoon and overheard an unusual conversation between two employees. 'Did you notice,' said one, 'how our new safe deposit boxes are arranged alphabetically?' The other employee nodded, smiling slightly. ‘Yes, I did,’ they replied. ‘And it makes perfect sense now—our most frequent box renter is always complaining that he can’t find his.’

4. While waiting for his turn at the cashier’s desk, a regular noticed something peculiar—an old coin collection displayed behind the glass window. It seemed no one had paid attention to it for ages. Finally, when it was his turn, he asked the cashier if anyone ever claimed those coins. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Not since they stopped minting money like that!’
