About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered First Citizens Bank and asked the teller, 'Do you have any idea why my deposit keeps disappearing?' The teller replied, 'Sir, I assure you that once your money is deposited here, it stays right where it belongs.' Finally, a young intern piped up, ‘Maybe he’s using the same ATM as our delivery guy!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the old man who left smiling, knowing his money was safe—after all, no one could withdraw what they didn’t know was there.

2. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to First Citizens Bank with a truckload of donuts. As he walked in, he noticed something odd: every cash register had a tiny note stuck to it reading, ‘Don’t forget to smile today.’ Curious, he picked up one note and smiled—suddenly, all registers started beeping softly. The bank manager appeared, grinning broadly: 'Morning, friend! Our new security feature—smile detection!' A regular passing by chuckled, shaking his head: 'Guess they finally found a way to keep robbers out.'

3. At lunchtime, a regular walked into First Citizens Bank with a large envelope under his arm. He approached the counter and said loudly over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—we have found a nest of baby birds in our parking lot. They’re all crying for their mum!’ The teller looked confused but replied calmly, 'Sir, I’ll alert security.' Just then, another voice came over the intercom: 'And could someone please help these poor little birds? They're freezing!' It turned out to be the delivery driver, who’d been stuck outside while trying to deliver a package. Everyone burst out laughing as they realized it was just an elaborate prank.

4. At closing time, a young woman approached the bank's security guard and said, 'I just deposited my entire paycheck—twenty dollars!' The security guard smiled and replied, ‘That’s okay, ma’am. We’ll make sure your twenty dollars is safe until next time.’ The young woman left, shaking her head with a smile, while the guard turned to see an elderly gentleman whispering, ‘Twenty dollars these days? That girl must be working for pennies!’
