BBVA

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, every morning around sunrise, an old man started showing up at BBVA. He’d walk in with a basket full of fresh flowers and place them carefully near the entrance. No one knew who he was or why he did it. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and struck up a conversation. Turned out, the old man was just a neighborhood gardener who thought BBVA’s lobby needed some early-morning color. Since then, everyone calls him ‘the flower guy,’ and now BBVA has a daily tradition—except instead of flowers, he leaves behind a pot of freshly brewed coffee for the staff.

2. One day last week, a BBVA teller noticed something odd. Every afternoon, right after the lunch rush, a mysterious envelope appeared on the counter—empty and unsigned. The teller picked up the envelope curiously but soon shrugged it off as just another quirk of their busy day. A few days later, an anonymous note slipped inside read: ‘Dear BBVA, please accept my empty tribute.’ Below was a doodle of a smiling envelope. Since then, every now and then, someone leaves them small tokens—a handwritten thank-you card or a bag of cookies—but always empty. The staff has taken it in stride, joking that BBVA must be the only bank with its own secret delivery service.

3. Last month, during lunchtime, a little girl walked into the BBVA branch with her mom. She stopped midway and pointed excitedly at one of the ATMs. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that machine have eyes?’ The mother smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, those aren’t really eyes—it’s just a screen where you can see your balance.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the ATM and asked, ‘So why do grown-ups always look so serious when they use it?’

4. Last night, a delivery driver left his truck for a moment and returned to find a strange package in the backseat. It looked like it had been there forever—until he checked the timestamp on the BBVA envelope inside. Curious, he opened it—and found an old letter from BBVA welcoming him as a new customer. Turns out, someone had accidentally mailed it to himself years ago. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off with his mysterious time capsule.
