About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to East West Bank and asked the guard, ‘Do you mind if I park here for just five minutes? My dog needs to pee really bad.’ The guard smiled and said, 'Of course not, sir!' Then he noticed something funny—every time the delivery guy parked there, his dog always seemed to take an awfully long break. Turns out, it was actually a neighbor who needed to borrow money from him every time he came around. The end.

2. One day, a curious customer entered East West Bank and asked the teller, ‘Can I deposit my fortune in gold bars?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Certainly, sir! Just bring your treasure during business hours.' The man left, beaming with excitement. A few days later, an anxious delivery driver approached the same teller, panting heavily, 'I have your gold bars!' The teller calmly answered, 'Thank you, but we're just a regular bank—we only accept paper money here.'

3. At night, a strange humming noise would occasionally echo from inside East West Bank. Neighbors would stop in their tracks, wondering if it were some new security feature or an old ghost of banking past. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up outside and asked a neighbor, ‘What’s that funny sound coming from the bank?’ The neighbor shrugged, ‘No idea, but don’t worry—every time I hear it, someone comes out with a big smile.’ Turns out, it was just the bank manager practicing his best customer service greeting.

4. One afternoon, as customers lined up outside East West Bank, an unexpected voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone! Today is your lucky day—bring in any old shoe, and we'll double your money!' A confused hush fell over the crowd until a delivery driver piped up: ‘Hey, I’ve got two left shoes at home!’ Within minutes, everyone was emptying their closets. The bank manager scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, and announced: ‘Alright then, bring back both shoes for triple your money!’
