Bank of America

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in Bank of America's parking lot—a small, old violin propped against the wall. No one claimed it, and soon everyone started hearing its mysterious music playing inside the bank. Soon enough, curious neighbors began bringing their own violins, hoping to join the symphony. Before long, Bank of America’s lobby was filled with harmonious music every morning. The manager finally announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, our daily deposit hours are 8 AM sharp—no exceptions!’

2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the teller and asked, ‘Do you know why your bank is called “Bank of America”?’ The teller replied, ‘Of course, sir!’ but the old man insisted, ‘No, really—why do they call it that? I’ve been coming here for years, and no one ever told me.’ Finally, the teller smiled and whispered, 'Sir, it's because when our founder first opened the bank, he wanted everyone to feel like they were part of a big American family.' The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, 'Ah, now I get it!' Then he turned to his neighbor and proudly declared, 'Guess what, George—they named it after us!'

3. One afternoon, a young employee was organizing files when she heard a strange sound coming from the basement vault. Curious, she descended the stairs and found an old safe deposit box half-opened. Inside lay a dusty envelope with her name on it. When she opened it, out popped a wrinkled note saying, ‘Dear Employee, your lunch break is now extended indefinitely.’ She laughed so hard that a nearby delivery driver asked if everything was okay.

4. At lunchtime, a familiar voice crackled over Bank of America's intercom: 'Attention customers—your money is now officially green!' A puzzled delivery driver asked, ‘What do you mean “officially green”?’ A friendly teller replied, ‘It’s our new eco-friendly initiative!’ Later that day, an elderly gentleman exclaimed, ‘I thought my savings were supposed to be safe and sound—not changing colors!’ The whole bank erupted in laughter.
