About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the teller at Nationwide Bank, ‘Do you ever wonder why no one ever takes out more than twenty dollars in cash here?’ The teller shrugged and replied, 'Probably because that's all anyone needs.' The delivery driver grinned and said, 'Or maybe they don't want to risk getting stuck with too much cash!' They both laughed, realizing that sometimes life is simpler—and safer—than it seems.

2. In the early afternoon, a little girl walked into Nationwide Bank with her piggybank in hand. As she approached the counter, the cashier noticed something unusual: every time she counted her coins, the total amount seemed to change—sometimes increasing, sometimes decreasing, depending on how loudly she spoke. Finally, an elderly gentleman overheard the commotion and asked what was going on. The teller explained everything, and after a moment’s thought, the old man whispered gently, ‘Just say it softly like you’re talking to your grandmother.’ Sure enough, when the little girl repeated her count quietly, the money stayed exactly the same. Everyone laughed, and from then on, Nationwide Bank had a new rule: always whisper when counting your coins!’

3. A young boy walked into Nationwide Bank and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. When asked what he saw, he replied, 'Mommy, look! There's a bird!' The teller smiled warmly and said, ‘Oh, that’s just our new security camera, honey.’ The boy looked puzzled for a moment before his mother whispered, ‘It’s okay, sweetie—it’s not really a bird.’ They both laughed as they left, with the boy waving goodbye to the ‘bird’ one last time.

4. A neighborhood kid stopped by Nationwide Bank after school one day. He approached the counter and whispered something so quietly that only the teller could hear. The teller leaned in closer and asked curiously, ‘What did you say?’ The boy smiled mischievously and replied, ‘Can I please withdraw all my money…in pennies?’ The teller burst into laughter as she shook her head, saying, ‘I’ll help you with that, young man.’
