About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman approached the teller and asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Do you know why they call it Commerce Bank?’ The teller smiled and shook her head. 'No sir,' she replied curiously. With a knowing smile, the old man whispered, 'Because it's where all our money comes from!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the other customers waiting in line.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Commerce Bank’s drive-through window with a puzzled look on his face. Inside the car, nestled among boxes of papers, sat a small, brightly wrapped package. The driver had no memory of it being there. The teller took one glance at the package and burst out laughing. ‘Sir,’ she said, ‘that’s our new security camera!’ Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped it for an old surveillance dummy during maintenance. A relieved delivery driver drove off, while neighbors stopped by to congratulate the bank on their latest prank gone right.

3. A little girl walked into her dad's Commerce Bank one afternoon, wide-eyed as she pointed at something on the counter. "Daddy," she whispered, "why is that man talking to himself like that?" Her father smiled knowingly but only replied, 'Oh honey, he's just saying goodbye to his old job.' The little girl giggled, thinking it was funny. Later, when they were leaving, she asked again, ‘But Daddy, why does that lady in the next branch always wear a big smile and wave at everyone?’ He winked and said, ‘She’s not waving, sweetheart—she’s just saying hello to her new friends.’

4. A young boy followed his mom inside Commerce Bank, eyes wide as he watched the security guard's robotic arm smoothly move boxes around. As they approached the counter, the little boy whispered to his mom, ‘Mom, why does that box say “Do Not Open Unless Authorized”?’ Mom smiled and replied, ‘Honey, it’s just a secret code for their special safe.’ The guard overheard them and chuckled, nodding towards the boy with a twinkle in his eye.
