About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At BBVA Compass, every morning begins with the same routine: employees arrive, greet each other, and head to their desks. But one day, a young child walked into the lobby, pointed at the ceiling, and asked his mom, ‘Mom, why does that bank look like it’s smiling today?’ The mother smiled and replied, ‘Honey, it’s just the way the light hits those windows.’ The child nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the bank, now seeing it as an ordinary building again. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned BBVA Compass, someone would whisper, ‘Did you see its smile?’
2. A little girl walked into BBVA Compass one day, her eyes wide as she pointed at something on the wall. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that clock move backwards?’ The mother smiled and leaned down to whisper back, ‘Honey, it’s not really moving backward—it just shows the time in a different way.’ The little girl thought for a moment then giggled, pointing again excitedly, ‘But Mommy, why do ALL the clocks here look so confused?’
3. At BBVA Compass, every afternoon around three o’clock, the temperature inside mysteriously drops ten degrees. Employees shrug it off until their coffee starts steaming on its own. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an especially hot cup of soup. Placing it on the counter, he asked curiously if anyone knew why the place was colder than Antarctica at tea time. Before anyone could answer, his soup started boiling and steam shot out like a geyser, leaving everyone laughing so hard they almost forgot about the cold.
4. At BBVA Compass, there's an odd occurrence that happens just before closing time. Every day, someone asks the receptionist if they can deposit a unicorn's horn. The receptionist smiles and politely declines every time. One day, a delivery driver arrives with a box marked ‘Unicorn Horns – Do Not Open’. Inside are dozens of plastic horns. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood receives a handwritten note: ‘Sorry for the confusion. Next time, I’ll bring real ones!’
