About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an East West Bank teller noticed something peculiar. A little boy, clutching his piggybank, kept coming in every day, counting and re-counting his coins with growing excitement. The tellers watched curiously as he never took any money out—just counted it over and over again. Finally, one day, the little boy triumphantly announced that he had enough for a new bicycle. Excitedly, he counted once more, then ran out of the bank. Days later, the tellers saw him pedaling down the street on a shiny red bike—a gift from his grandfather. As they smiled, someone joked, ‘Maybe next time he’ll come in to deposit some spare change!’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the East West Bank's drive-through window. He had just delivered a large order and was in a hurry to get home. As he approached the microphone, he realized he couldn't remember his own phone number—only his mother's old one from high school. ‘Ma’? I’m not sure if you’re still alive,” he whispered into the mic. “But if you are… could you please tell them it’s an emergency?’ The guard behind the glass raised an eyebrow but nodded, making a note on his clipboard. Five minutes later, the driver received his cash deposit slip with a warm smile from the same guard, who added, ‘Your mom said everything is fine.’
3. Have you heard about the old lady who kept asking for her ‘special account’? Every day she’d come into East West Bank and ask the tellers with a mysterious smile. One day, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, 'Your package is here!' The old lady looked puzzled but smiled wider than ever. She whispered something to him, and he nodded knowingly before leaving. When asked what it was, she simply replied, 'Just my monthly supply of fortune cookies.'
4. At dusk, a small dog scurried into the East West Bank lobby, its tail wagging curiously as it approached the automated teller. The dog paused for a moment, then suddenly darted towards one of the cash machines, pressing its paw on the touchscreen. A security guard chuckled and said, 'Looks like someone forgot their PIN.' Just then, a delivery driver arrived with a box of donuts, and everyone shared a laugh—even the little intruder got a treat.
