M&T Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock of M&T Bank. Among the usual boxes and packages lay an old, dusty violin case. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and took it inside. Turned out, the violin was in perfect condition, and when he played it during lunch break, everyone in the neighborhood heard him. Soon enough, word spread that M&T Bank had hired a secret musician to serenade customers. The next day, the whole town gathered outside the bank to listen to ‘the mysterious employee’—it turned out to be just an enthusiastic delivery driver who loved classical music.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the teller and asked, 'Excuse me, can you change my dollar bill into quarters? I’m in such a hurry!' The teller smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that would be twenty-five dollars.’ He paused for a moment, then said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Oh no, I meant change my quarter into a dollar!’ A few days later, another customer—a delivery driver—walked up to the counter. Panting slightly, he exclaimed, 'Hey, could you make my twenty bucks into hundreds?' With a knowing smile, the teller responded, 'Certainly sir, that’ll be two thousand dollars.' The driver grinned sheepishly and said, 'No, I mean turn my hundred into twenty!' Everyone around laughed as the teller cheerfully obliged.

3. One night, after hours, an employee was locking up when she heard a strange noise coming from inside one of the safes. Curious, she opened it and found only a pile of old newspapers and some dusty donuts wrapped in plastic. Turns out, someone had left them there as a prank during a late-night delivery. The next day, everyone had a good laugh.

4. Late one afternoon, a young intern was scanning documents in the M&T Bank basement when he spotted something odd moving behind the filing cabinets. Curious, but cautious, he followed its shadowy form around the corner and found… nothing but an old dust bunny. For weeks after, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts, he’d just smile and whisper, ‘It was only a dust bunny.’
