About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while customers were sipping coffee and checking their balances, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a mysterious envelope. ‘This just arrived for you,’ he said, handing it to the teller without saying a word. The teller opened the envelope curiously, only to discover a note reading: 'Dear Citibank, please return this envelope as it's not yours.' Turns out, it was just a delivery driver's mistake.
2. While waiting in line one afternoon, a customer overheard an unusual conversation between two employees. ‘Did you hear?’ whispered one, ‘the ATM just started singing “Happy Birthday” every time someone withdraws money!’ Another employee giggled and replied, ‘No way! That would be too much of a coincidence.’ But as they looked around, everyone had stopped what they were doing to listen intently. The next withdrawal indeed triggered a faint melody from the machine. A delivery driver leaned towards his colleague and quipped, “Guess Citibank’s new marketing strategy is to make people happy with free serenades!”
3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a Citibank branch's alarm clocked into action with an unexpected melody—a soft, rhythmic tinkling that seemed more like a xylophone than an alert. Employees arriving for work found themselves humming along as they unlocked the doors. As it turned out, a local music student had accidentally left his xylophone inside after practicing late one night. The next day, employees discovered him frantically trying to explain his mistake while playing a tune on his instrument—this time on key. Since then, whenever there's an issue, everyone just waits for ‘the xylophone guy’ to show up.
4. While standing in line one day, a regular asked the teller, ‘Do you ever wonder why there’s always a long queue here even though most people use online banking?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Well, sir, maybe it’s because everyone who uses online banking still needs someone to remind them to pay their bills!’ The regular laughed heartily, realizing the wisdom behind the wait.
