About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, an elderly gentleman walked into OneWest Bank with a large envelope under his arm. The teller asked him what he needed, and without a word, he placed the envelope on the counter. Everyone watched as the bank manager slowly opened it—only to discover a meticulously folded stack of hundred-dollar bills. The manager counted the money twice just to be sure, then looked up and smiled. ‘Sir,’ she said, ‘you’ve made our day!’ And everyone laughed when he replied, ‘I come here every week. Just don’t forget to unfold it first.’
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to OneWest Bank and noticed something odd in his truck bed—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he took it inside, only to discover that every time someone opened the vault door, the box would softly hum along with the chime. Finally, one day, the manager decided to open the box. Inside was an old gramophone record playing ‘Happy Birthday’—it seemed the bank had been serenaded by its own vault for years! Since then, whenever anyone deposits money, everyone in the neighborhood hears the cheery tune from across town.
3. One day, a curious neighbor approached OneWest Bank's entrance and asked aloud: ‘I wonder if they keep any old safes here?’ The security guard smiled and replied, 'We do have some vintage safes, but they're just for show.' The neighbor nodded knowingly and walked away, muttering under his breath, 'Next time I'll ask about those fancy safe deposit boxes!'
4. One afternoon, a little girl dragged her teddy bear into OneWest Bank, whispering excitedly to herself as she inspected the security cameras. As she approached the counter, an elderly teller smiled warmly and asked what she needed. With a big grin, she replied, 'I want to deposit my teddy bear!' The teller gently took the bear, glanced up at her curiously, then whispered back, 'Ma'am, we're not accepting stuffed animals today.' The little girl shrugged and said, 'Oh well, maybe next time,' before skipping out with her bear.
