Synovus

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a truckload of coffee beans. As he unloaded crates in the back room, he noticed something odd—one crate seemed heavier than it should be. Curious, he opened the crate and found not coffee beans but tiny little donuts—hundreds of them! Turned out, someone’s sweet-natured neighbor had mistakenly labeled the box. From that day on, Synovus became known as the bank with the best morning perks—a free donut drive-through for everyone who worked there.

2. A regular customer entered Synovus Bank one day and asked the teller, ‘Do you know why they call it “Synovus”?’ The teller replied, ‘No, sir.’ With a twinkle in his eye, he answered, ‘Because every time I come here, I feel like my money is getting richer!’ Another customer—a delivery driver—walked up next and quipped, ‘I always feel poorer after leaving here!’ The first man grinned and whispered, ‘That’s because your money just had lunch with mine!’

3. One afternoon, a neighbor approached the bank’s entrance and asked the guard, 'If I deposit a million dollars here, will it grow faster than in any other bank?' The guard smiled and replied, ‘Absolutely, sir! Here it will grow with our special Synovus magic!’ The neighbor nodded thoughtfully before turning around and walking away, muttering under his breath, ‘That’s what they all say…’

4. A teller looked up from her desk one morning and noticed an unusual sight outside the window. ‘Excuse me,’ she said to no one in particular, ‘but is that a pig trying to cash a check?’ Another teller, overhearing the first, leaned around the counter with a smile. 'Of course it is!' she giggled. 'He does it every Tuesday.' It turned out Synovus had a regular customer—a friendly neighborhood pig who insisted on personally presenting his checks for deposit.
