About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to EastWest Unibank with an unusual package. Over the intercom, a tinny voice announced: ‘Attention please—we’ve received a deposit from someone named “Fortune”.’ The bank manager scratched his head and said, 'Fortune, huh? That’s a new one.' He turned to the delivery driver and asked, 'Did you bring us any money?' The driver replied, 'No, sir—it was just a box of fortune cookies!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the usually serious bank staff.
2. One day, while customers were lining up outside EastWest Unibank, a mysterious sign appeared on the door: ‘Banking Hours Extended Until Midnight – Forgotten Passwords Only.’ Inside, an old gentleman in a tweed suit greeted everyone with a smile and asked for forgotten passwords one by one. When it was a delivery driver’s turn, he said nervously, 'It's been three weeks since I used my card!' The gentleman nodded knowingly and replied, 'Ah, well, that's why we're here.' As midnight approached, people left with their restored confidence—even if they still didn't remember their actual passwords.
3. One afternoon, as people lined up inside EastWest Unibank, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for a special transaction. The teller smiled and said, 'Sir, I’ll be happy to assist you—what exactly would you like?' The man replied, 'I’d like to open an account called “Lucky Charms,” please.' The teller raised an eyebrow but nodded politely. ‘Certainly, sir,’ she said with a smile. After a few minutes of paperwork, the old gentleman walked away, his face glowing with satisfaction. To this day, no one knows what happened to that mysterious Lucky Charms account—or if it even exists.’
4. A regular customer entered EastWest Unibank one morning and asked the teller, 'Do you accept deposits in Russian rubles today?' The teller replied, 'Only dollars and cents here, sir.' The customer nodded thoughtfully and left. Later that afternoon, a delivery driver approached the bank and asked if they accepted payments in euros. With a straight face, the teller answered, ‘We only take dollars and cents.’ The driver shook his head and drove off, muttering something about crazy banks. As night fell, a neighbor walked up and asked if they could deposit some kopecks. Again, the teller said firmly, ‘Only dollars and cents here.’ The neighbor smiled and waved goodbye, saying, ‘See ya tomorrow!’
