Fifth Third Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl ran into her dad and said, ‘Daddy, why does that Fifth Third Bank have an old lady dancing on its sign every day?’ Her dad just shrugged, thinking it must be some new security measure. Her dad chuckled and replied, ‘I don’t know, honey.’ Then he added with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Maybe she’s just really good at her job!’ From then on, whenever anyone asked about the dancing lady, they’d say, “Oh, that’s just Fifth Third Bank’s way of showing how happy they are to serve you.” And everyone laughed—even the delivery driver who always waved cheerfully to the old lady on his way to work.

2. A small dog walked into Fifth Third Bank one afternoon, sniffing around the lobby as if it were its own backyard. Employees watched in amusement until the canine paused, looked up at the teller counter, and started wagging its tail. Then, to everyone’s surprise, a delivery driver approached the counter and asked, ‘Is this your dog?’ The little pooch trotted over happily, clearly recognizing his friend. It turned out the dog belonged to none other than the bank manager himself—who had forgotten he’d brought him for an afternoon stroll.

3. A curious pigeon landed on the counter of Fifth Third Bank one day, pecking at something hidden beneath the teller’s screen. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in and asked if anyone had seen his package. The pigeon, startled, flapped its wings and revealed an old coin collection under the desk. Everyone burst out laughing—turns out the bird was just after some shiny treasures.

4. A neighborhood kid was skipping stones across the Fifth Third Bank’s sign one day when he accidentally hit the clock tower. The clock stopped exactly at 3:17 PM, and ever since then, every time someone deposits money after that time, they receive an extra dollar in their account. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box so heavy he tripped over his own shadow, knocking off his watch. Seeing the clock frozen at 3:17, he calmly said, ‘No worries, I’ll just deposit this before three,’ and grinned as he walked in smiling. Ever since then, everyone who visits on the dot of 3:17 gets two dollars extra—just for good measure.
