About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning in downtown Atlanta when a Synovus bank teller noticed something odd. A delivery driver kept arriving early, just before sunrise, and always left through the side door without entering the lobby. Curious, she followed him one foggy dawn. Turned out he was delivering fresh coffee for the staff—an anonymous act of kindness from a nearby café. The bank soon became known as ‘the friendliest bank in town,’ with free daily brew for everyone.
2. A regular customer entered the Synovus branch one afternoon and asked the teller, 'Do you accept deposits of laughter?' The teller replied with a smile, 'We don't take jokes here.' But later that week, several other customers reported feeling lighter after visiting. One day, a delivery driver approached the counter and asked, ‘Can I deposit these packages?’ With a twinkle in her eye, the teller answered, ‘Only if they’re addressed to happiness!’ That evening, when he opened his mailbox, he found not just letters but also a package filled with smiles—handwritten notes from grateful locals.
3. A little girl walked into her grandmother’s neighborhood Synovus branch with big eyes and a curious smile. As she approached the counter, the teller greeted her warmly, but something peculiar caught everyone's attention—the child kept asking, ‘Mama says money grows on trees—where are the branches?’ The teller smiled and whispered back, ‘It does, little one—it just takes time for those invisible branches to grow.’ The crowd burst out laughing, including an old man in line who said, “That’s our Synovus—always making magic happen.” And from that day forward, whenever anyone asked where their money grew, they’d point proudly to the friendly faces inside the Synovus branch.
4. A delivery driver pulled up to the Synovus branch in the early hours, unloaded his truck, and noticed something peculiar on the backseat of his car—a small envelope addressed to ‘The Bank Manager.’ Curious, he opened it to find… Inside was a note reading: 'Dear Sir/Madam, please find enclosed your lunch voucher for today.' The delivery driver laughed, thinking someone had mistaken him for an employee. He casually took the voucher, popped into the bank, and asked for a sandwich. Turns out, Synovus had a new policy—lunch vouchers for all staff!'
