Fifth Third Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as customers were just arriving for their daily coffee fix, an elderly gentleman in a tweed suit walked into Fifth Third Bank and asked the teller for a loan of exactly three dollars. The teller looked puzzled but smiled politely, ‘We can’t give loans that small,’ she replied gently. The old man nodded wisely, took out his wallet, counted three crisp dollar bills, and said, ‘Then I’ll withdraw it.’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the old gentleman who left with a warm smile, leaving behind a legend about the friendliest bank ever.

2. One day, while waiting in line, a customer whispered to her friend: 'Did you hear? Fifth Third Bank is haunted!' Her friend laughed and replied: 'No way, banks are too busy counting money.' But ever since then, every now and then someone spots a ghostly figure in the lobby. Finally, one evening a delivery driver saw an old lady wearing antique spectacles, gently placing a stack of ancient coins into a safe. When asked by a security guard, she smiled sweetly and said, ‘Just helping out with the bank’s retirement fund!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another urban legend.

3. In the early hours of one autumn morning, a Fifth Third Bank teller noticed something peculiar. As she opened the vault, a soft humming sound filled the air—like the gentle buzzing of bees, but not quite. Curious, she followed the sound and found it coming from an old safe-deposit box. Inside was a nest of tiny bees that had somehow gotten trapped there years ago. The teller gently removed them, and ever since then, on quiet days, you can still hear the hum of those grateful little bees working away in their new home. A local legend says they’re Fifth Third’s unseen employees now.

4. In the depths of winter, when snow blanketed everything outside, a delivery driver pulled up to the Fifth Third Bank's drive-thru window. The cashier asked him to roll down his window, but nothing happened. After several attempts, the driver realized his remote starter had frozen solid. Finally, a kind neighbor came along and helped him unfreeze it with some hot coffee from his thermos. With a smile, the delivery driver said, ‘Guess I’ll be late for work today!’
