Emprise Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into Emprise Bank and asked the teller, 'Do you know why they say “money talks”?' The teller replied, ‘No sir, I don’t.’ With a twinkle in his eye, he answered, ‘Because it always deposits!’ A few days later, a delivery driver approached the same teller with a box of pastries. Smiling, she asked if he knew what money did next. He winked back, ‘It pays dividends!’

2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the back door of Emprise Bank. As he approached the security guard, he said, ‘I’ve got a package for Mr. Johnson.’ The guard replied, ‘There’s no one here named Johnson.’ The driver shrugged and answered, ‘That’s odd, because my GPS says it’s addressed to “Mr. J.”’ The guard scratched his head and said, 'Well, let's see what we've got.' They opened the box together—inside was a small teddy bear with a note reading: "To Mr. J, Happy Birthday!" Turns out, it was just an early gift from a neighbor. Everyone laughed, and the delivery guy left with a smile.

3. A young employee was closing down the branch late one night when she heard a soft tapping sound coming from inside one of the safes. She opened it carefully and found… nothing but an old receipt for a pizza delivery. Turns out someone had accidentally locked their lunch inside years ago. The next day, everyone in the office got free pizza as a joke.

4. One day, while standing in line at Emprise Bank, a customer looked around and asked aloud, ‘I wonder if they keep any old coins here?’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman behind him cleared his throat and replied, 'Why, yes indeed! They might just dig up some ancient nickel from the 1940s!' Everyone laughed, including the teller who was ringing up a neighbor's groceries. That afternoon, as people left the bank, they joked that maybe next time they’d find a gold coin—or at least a free lollipop!'
