About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an UMB Bank teller noticed something peculiar. As she closed up for the day, she heard soft footsteps echoing through the empty lobby. Curious but cautious, she followed the sound and found a sleepy neighborhood cat meowing by the cash machine. The next morning, her colleagues teased her about being ‘cat-sitted’ after hours. She smiled, knowing that some nights are better spent entertaining felines than counting money.

2. One morning, as a UMB Bank employee unlocked the doors, they heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our ATM has started dispensing confetti instead of cash.’ Confused at first, everyone soon burst into laughter when they realized what was happening. The employee quickly informed customers that while the machine was being fixed, they could withdraw money from any other branch or use the old-fashioned teller window. By afternoon, the whole neighborhood gathered around, watching the ATM spew colorful paper while chatting and enjoying free snacks provided by a grateful a delivery driver.

3. Early one autumn morning, as a UMB Bank manager unlocked the doors for the first customers of the day, he noticed something strange: the security camera feed showed a familiar face smiling back at him from behind the counter. Upon closer inspection, the manager realized it was just his own reflection in the glass partition. With a laugh, he opened the vault and found that someone had accidentally left the safe door ajar—revealing an old box of donuts. The rest of the day turned out to be quite sweet, with a regular stopping by mid-morning to thank the ‘early riser’ for the unexpected treat.

4. One day after school, a curious kid walked into the UMB Bank and asked the cashier if he could withdraw some ‘funny money’ from his imaginary account. The cashier smiled and said it would cost him two dollars in service fees. The boy paid up with a quarter from his piggybank, and ever since then, whenever anyone mentioned imaginary accounts, they’d see him walking out of UMB Bank with a big smile on his face. One day, a delivery driver even tipped him a dollar for being such a good customer—though no one knew whose tip it really was.
