About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Citibank and said to himself, 'I wonder if they accept these old coins?' The delivery driver walked in with his armload of ancient-looking coins. The teller looked puzzled but smiled and said, ‘We don’t usually handle antique currency here.’ Just then, an elderly gentleman behind him cleared his throat and asked, ‘Are those Roman denarii? I might be able to help!’ Turns out the neighbor was a coin collector, and soon everyone was laughing as they sorted through the coins together.

2. One day, while waiting for her father inside Citibank, little Sarah noticed something odd: every time someone used the ATM, a small bird would fly out from behind it. Curious, Sarah asked her dad if he’d seen the birds too. He smiled and whispered, ‘No, honey, those are just doves of peace, sent by our friendly bank to remind us of good fortune.’ From then on, whenever anyone needed comfort or luck, they visited Citibank—just to catch a glimpse of those magical flying messages.

3. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered Citibank with a large suitcase. As he approached the counter, he asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, do you accept deposits in gold coins?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Yes, of course.' The old man opened his suitcase, revealing not gold coins but dozens of colorful pencils. He said proudly, 'I collect them from all over the world!' Everyone burst into laughter, including the bewildered teller who later admitted it was one of the funniest customer encounters she'd ever had.

4. A regular customer of Citibank found something peculiar one morning. While waiting in line, he glanced down and saw a small, dusty violin nestled among the stacks of cash. The man picked up the violin curiously, thinking it might be an elaborate practical joke. As he played a few notes, everyone in the bank stopped what they were doing—even the delivery driver outside paused mid-step. Turns out, it was an old Stradivarius, worth millions. The embarrassed customer later admitted, ‘I guess I’ll never forget my visit to Citibank!’
