About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in Citibank’s lobby trash can—a small envelope addressed to no one in particular. Inside were neatly folded hundred-dollar bills. Curious, he took out one bill and saw it was perfectly creased for easy folding—obviously not from circulation. Over the next few days, more envelopes appeared, each with identical notes. Finally, an anonymous note slipped inside read: ‘Dear Banker, happy to help you meet your daily target.’ Everyone laughed, but the bank never admitted anything.
2. One day, while a regular was waiting for his transaction to complete, he heard an unexpected announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Smith please come to the teller window? We have held your check since last Thursday.’ Soon after, another voice came on: ‘And Mrs. Jones, please collect your package from reception.’ A delivery driver looked confused until someone whispered, ‘It’s their computer glitch—thinking everyone is named Smith or Jones!’ The regular smiled, realizing it wasn’t personal but just Citibank’s way of keeping things interesting.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Citibank's loading dock with an unusual cargo: a giant inflatable unicorn. As he approached the counter, the manager announced over the intercom, 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new mascot has arrived!' As the unicorn inflated, it started dancing around, knocking over some pens on the counter. A regular customer, Mr. Smith, asked, ‘Isn’t that a little too much for a bank?’ The manager smiled and replied, ‘Welcome to Citibank, where dreams come to life!’ And ever since then, whenever someone deposits money, they hear a distant trumpeting from behind the scenes.
4. One sunny afternoon, a little girl walked into her dad’s Citibank branch and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that bird flying inside?’ Her father smiled gently and replied, ‘Honey, it’s not really a bird—it’s just our friendly security camera watching over us.’ She nodded thoughtfully then asked, ‘So why does he wear a suit?’ The whole branch burst out laughing as they watched her run off to join her mom, who was waiting outside with a big smile on her face.
