Citibank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into her neighborhood Citibank and asked the cashier, ‘Excuse me, is it true that if I deposit my piggybank here, it will turn into gold?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Well, ma’am, we can’t do magic like that… but watch!’ The cashier then reached under the counter and pulled out an old coin collection. He said, 'See these coins? They were once just ordinary metal too, until someone decided they had value.' The little girl giggled and asked if she could look at them. After that, she left happily, knowing that while her piggybank might not turn into gold, maybe one day her money would buy something even better.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Citibank one afternoon with an unusual package. ‘This is for you,’ he said to no one in particular. 'Open it when I’m gone.' Inside was a small box wrapped in brown paper. The clerk opened it curiously and found inside a live goldfish in a tiny bowl. Everyone burst out laughing—apparently, someone’s kid had mistakenly labeled the fish as a ‘financial instrument.’

3. At dawn, when most banks were still locking their doors, an elderly gentleman entered Citibank wearing nothing but pajamas and slippers. As he approached the counter, everyone stared in surprise, except for a young teller who calmly asked, ‘Good morning, sir. Can I help you?’ The old man replied with a smile, ‘Just wanted to make sure my account is still open.’ After a moment of confusion, someone whispered, ‘It’s probably his early-morning exercise routine.’ Everyone burst out laughing, and from that day on, Citibank became known as the friendliest bank around.

4. One day, while waiting in line at Citibank, a regular turned to the teller and asked, 'Do you think they keep all our money here underground?' The teller smiled and replied, 'Well, I guess that's why it's called banking!' A few days later, a delivery driver approached the same teller with a curious look. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘I was thinking—if you guys really store money underground, maybe I should start burying my packages there instead of leaving them on your counter!’ The teller laughed and replied, ‘We’ll let you know if we see any suspicious suitcases!’
