About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, an unfamiliar voice crackled over West Bank’s intercom: ‘Your account is in perfect order, sir.’ A delivery driver heard it first and thought nothing of it. But every night after that, the same message played like clockwork. One evening, a regular customer asked the night watchman if he ever saw anyone entering or leaving through the back door. The watchman shrugged: 'Only one guy—same height as you, sir—but I never bothered him.' From then on, whenever the mysterious voice came on, everyone in line would whisper, ‘He’s here!’ until finally, someone shouted, ‘I’m not your sir!’ and they all burst out laughing.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to West Bank’s loading dock with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, a soft humming echoed from inside—something between a cash register and a distant lullaby. Curious, he cracked open the door—a warm glow bathed him in its golden light. Inside, an old man sat behind the counter, counting coins with meticulous care. ‘Another late-night visitor,’ he smiled. The delivery driver blushed, realizing his mistake. It was just another neighborhood bank, not some secret vault. ‘Guess I’ll be going now,’ he said sheepishly. The old teller nodded and waved goodbye, muttering something about ‘another regular’.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to West Bank’s loading dock with a mysterious package marked ‘For Safe Keeping Only.’ As he walked away, someone noticed a strange note taped inside the door: ‘Next deposit doubles your balance.’ Curious, several customers decided to test it out. The next morning, their balances had indeed doubled—except for one old lady who deposited her lucky penny and woke up richer than Bill Gates! Turns out, the note was written by a prankster neighbor who thought it would be fun to see everyone’s reactions. West Bank became famous overnight as the only bank where you could double your money—and sometimes even more—just by asking nicely.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to West Bank’s loading dock with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, a small dog from inside began barking wildly, its tail wagging frantically—something unusual for any bank. The driver opened the door cautiously and found an old man waving cheerfully, counting out bills into a large envelope. ‘Just helping my neighbor,’ he said with a smile. The dog stopped barking mid-wag and looked confused before returning to sleep on his cushioned chair. The delivery guy shook his head and drove off, muttering, 'Weird place, but at least they’re honest.'
