Security Bank of Kansas City

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their coffee and doughnuts, an odd announcement came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that due to recent security upgrades, your ATM transactions may take slightly longer than usual.’ Since then, some patrons claim they’ve seen strange figures lingering near the teller windows after hours. One day, a regular noticed a faint shadow moving behind the glass partition during his afternoon visit. Curious, he asked the cashier if anyone was there. The cashier shrugged, ‘Just our new security ghost, making sure everything’s safe!’ Later, when a delivery driver arrived late at night, he saw a friendly wave from inside the vault. Turning around, he found only a smiling security guard who said, ‘Welcome to Security Bank of Kansas City—we’re always here for you!’

2. One day, while waiting for his check, an elderly gentleman asked the teller: ‘Do you really keep all our money here underground?’ The teller smiled and nodded, but no one has seen him since. The next morning, a delivery driver noticed that the vault door was ajar. He called out, ‘Hello? Anyone here?’ Suddenly, a voice replied from below: ‘I’m fine down here—just counting all your checks!’ Everyone burst into laughter when they realized it was just the old guy playing a prank on everyone.

3. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Security Bank of Kansas City with a large crate marked ‘Confidential.’ As he unloaded it, he noticed something peculiar—a small envelope taped to the side, addressed simply to ‘The Manager.’ When he opened it later that night, he found inside only a single piece of paper reading: ‘Please keep this deposit safe.’ Curious, the manager decided to open the crate himself after hours. Inside was nothing but an old, dusty piggy bank filled with pennies—enough for maybe a cup of coffee. The next day, everyone in town knew about it, and soon enough, neighbors were bringing their loose change to drop off anonymously. By the end of the week, the bank had more money than they’d seen in months.

4. In the late afternoon, a young man walked into the Security Bank of Kansas City with a peculiar expression on his face. He approached the counter and whispered something to the teller, causing her to giggle softly. The teller leaned in closer, listening intently. After a moment, she nodded and quietly replied, 'Of course!' They both burst out laughing, drawing curious glances from other customers. Turns out he was just asking for an emergency withdrawal—his pizza delivery had been delayed.
