About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into UMB Bank with a peculiar expression on his face. He approached the teller and asked for a new account, but insisted that he wanted it numbered exactly 9999. When the teller asked why such a specific number, he smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Just trust me.' After some time, another customer—a delivery driver—came up to him and whispered, ‘Hey, I’ve got account #9998!’ The old man nodded knowingly and said, ‘Good job, sonny! Now we can finally start playing poker here.’
2. One day, while customers were lining up at UMB Bank, a delivery driver accidentally left behind a large box marked ‘Top Secret’. Employees rushed inside, but nobody dared open it until an impatient customer suggested they should just ask the nearest neighbor for help. It turned out to be a crate of free coffee mugs and snacks for employees—an unexpected morale booster from the head office. The neighbor was overjoyed and invited everyone in for a cup of joe, making that Monday morning one for the books.
3. One afternoon, as customers waited patiently in line at UMB Bank, someone noticed a mysterious note taped to the wall. It read: ‘Today is National Hug Your Banker Day.’ A delivery driver approached the counter and asked if he could hug the teller too. The teller smiled warmly and replied, 'Absolutely! But remember, hugs are free—cash transactions still apply.' Everyone laughed, and the mood in the bank became cheerful and friendly.
4. One rainy night, as umbrellas crowded the entrance of UMB Bank, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that due to technical difficulties, our ATM is now dispensing free umbrellas.’ Soon, people flocked from miles around just for their free umbrella. A regular commented jokingly, 'Guess they’re rebranding themselves as Umbrella Bank!' Meanwhile, outside, a delivery driver tried to explain to his confused boss why he was soaked but carrying an armful of umbrellas.
