National Bank of Arizona

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the bank’s loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. Curious but cautious, he left it untouched until his supervisor arrived. Upon closer inspection, the supervisor found that the box contained nothing more than an old clock and some crumpled newspapers. Turns out, someone had accidentally delivered an antique from a neighbor's garage sale instead of cash deposits. The whole office had a good laugh over it for weeks.

2. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the National Bank of Arizona noticed an unusual shadow moving between the vault doors. Curious but cautious, he followed the shadow into the dimly lit hallway. Suddenly, the figure turned out to be just an old janitor polishing the floor—who had left his reflection in the shiny metal door. The guard laughed it off, thinking how easy it is to scare yourself silly late at night.

3. A regular customer entering the National Bank of Arizona exclaimed, ‘I thought you were closed today!’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘We’re always open for business here.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, carrying a huge box. He asked the teller, ‘Can I deposit this?’ The teller nodded and said, ‘Of course, sir! We accept deposits any time.’ The driver grinned and replied, ‘It’s not money, it’s my lunch order—you never know when hunger strikes!’

4. A little girl, holding her mother’s hand, stopped abruptly outside the National Bank of Arizona. Pointing up at the clock above the entrance, she whispered, ‘Mama, why does it say “Open 24 Hours” when I can clearly see that it says “Closed”?’ The mother looked up and saw only ‘Closed.’ Smiling gently, she leaned down and said, ‘Honey, those letters are just sleeping right now. They’ll wake up again tomorrow morning!’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the bank with a curious smile, as if trying to figure out what time was for clocks.
