About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a SouthState Bank teller was counting cash, she heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the vault. Curious but not alarmed, she opened the door slowly—only to see tiny bluebirds flying out and chirping merrily. As it turned out, the vault had been storing old birdseed packets that someone had mistakenly left there. The teller gently shooed the little guys outside with a fan, and soon they were gone, leaving behind only their charming song. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the bank, people would smile and say, ‘That’s where those friendly bluebirds used to hang out!’

2. In the early afternoon, a young child ran into the SouthState Bank, pointing excitedly towards the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ he whispered, ‘there’s a bird sitting on your sign!’ The teller smiled warmly and said, 'Oh no, that's not a bird, little one—it's just our new security camera!' The child's mom laughed, picked him up, and explained gently that sometimes banks use cameras to keep everyone safe. The delivery driver outside overheard the whole conversation and shook his head with a smile, thinking it was yet another day in the life of a SouthState Bank.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the SouthState Bank one foggy morning. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something peculiar: the bank’s sign seemed to be waving gently in the breeze. The driver rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times—surely it was just mist playing tricks on him. But as he approached the door, the sign twitched again, almost like it was saying hello. With a laugh, he entered the bank, where an elderly teller smiled warmly and asked if everything was okay. ‘Just my imagination,’ he replied, shaking his head. The teller nodded knowingly, whispering to herself, ‘Must be that new wind chime they hung outside.’

4. At lunchtime, a SouthState Bank employee noticed something unusual on the intercom: ‘Attention customers and staff—your lucky numbers for today are 7, 11, and banana.’ Everyone burst out laughing, but no one could figure out why those particular numbers were chosen. Curious, an elderly lady approached the counter and asked if she’d won anything. The cashier smiled and replied, 'Ma’am, your number’s up!' Everyone in line erupted into laughter again, realizing it was just another quirky day at SouthState Bank.
