M&I Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into her dad’s M&I Bank branch and asked, ‘Daddy, why does our bank look like it has eyes?’ The tellers exchanged glances, but no one had noticed anything unusual until then. Her father smiled and said, 'Honey, it's just the way the windows are shaped.' Then an old man behind the counter added, 'And they say those windows give us good luck!' Everyone laughed, and the little girl went on her way, thinking maybe banks really do have eyes after all.

2. In an ordinary M&I Bank branch, a delivery driver left early one day, forgetting his lunchbox on the counter. The next morning, a regular customer found it filled with freshly baked cookies. Over the following weeks, more and more mysterious packages appeared—first chocolates, then pastries, always delivered anonymously. Soon enough, the whole neighborhood knew about the secret baker within M&I Bank. Finally, during a community event, someone asked the bank manager if they had a hidden pastry chef. With a smile, she replied, ‘We do now!’

3. At closing time, a security guard noticed something odd on the intercom: ‘If you see anyone trying to withdraw more than $100, please help them.’ Curious, the guard followed the advice and helped an elderly neighbor who wanted to withdraw exactly $110 for her weekly groceries. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood received a note saying, 'Thank you for helping M&I Bank stay true to its mission!' Turns out it was just a friendly prank from the bank’s marketing team.

4. At lunchtime, a small dog ran into the M&I Bank branch, sniffing around the teller counter. The cashiers froze in surprise until a regular quickly scooped up the confused pooch. Turns out it was just a delivery driver’s mischievous little helper who liked to tag along on deliveries. Everyone had a good laugh as the dog trotted happily back with its friend.}
