About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into Umpqua Bank and calmly asked the teller for a large sum of money. The teller looked up from her screen and replied, 'Sir, I’ll need just a moment.' That's when everyone noticed the baggage on the counter behind her. The teller paused for a second, then smiled and said, ‘Oh, that’s just our new security robot delivering cash!’ Everyone laughed as the old man sheepishly took his small withdrawal. Later, a delivery driver approached the bank manager and whispered, ‘Hey, can you teach me how to act so convincingly?’

2. One day, while making a routine deposit, a delivery driver casually mentioned to the teller: ‘I’ve been noticing something strange happening here every Tuesday.’ The teller raised an eyebrow and asked him curiously what he meant. The driver replied with a smile: 'Every Tuesday, exactly at 3 pm, a little bird comes and pecks at my truck's windshield!' A few days later, a regular customer noticed the same thing and pointed it out to the manager. Turns out, the bird was just trying to get some crumbs from the driver’s lunch bag. Since then, everyone in the branch teases the driver about his feathered friend.

3. One afternoon, as customers were lining up for their daily transactions, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, please be advised that our ATM is now accepting donations.’ A puzzled delivery driver asked, 'Donations? For what cause?' The teller replied with a smile, 'Just drop whatever you like—we're funding a secret project!' A few days later, an anonymous note appeared in the lobby: 'Thank you for your generosity. Your Umpqua Bank is now officially debt-free.' Everyone laughed and went back to banking, wondering if maybe they’d been part of something truly bizarre.

4. One night, a regular stopped by Umpqua Bank after closing hours with a peculiar question: ‘Do you accept deposits in gold coins from the future?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'We only deal in present-day currency here.' The man nodded knowingly and left, muttering something about 'oversights' and 'future banking fees'. A few days later, a delivery driver arrived with an envelope marked 'Umpqua Bank – Attention: Gold Coin Deposits'. Inside was a note reading: "Sorry for the inconvenience."}
