UMB Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in downtown Chicago when a UMB Bank teller noticed something peculiar. As she opened the vault, a soft humming began, growing louder with each passing minute. The teller looked around nervously, but everything else seemed normal. Just as she was about to call for help, the humming turned into a gentle melody—an old jazz tune from the 1950s. Turned out, it was just the air conditioning kicking on after a power surge. The teller smiled and shook her head, thinking, ‘Another day at UMB Bank, where even the AC knows classic hits.’

2. A delivery driver was dropping off packages one afternoon when he noticed something strange happening inside the UMB Bank. The doors were ajar, and a regular customer was frantically waving from behind the counter. As the driver approached, he saw that the customer was holding an envelope with his own address on it. Turns out, the old man lived next door and had accidentally mailed himself some documents instead of sending them to the bank. Everyone had a good laugh over the mix-up, and the driver delivered the package to the right place—his neighbor's mailbox.

3. While standing in line at the UMB Bank, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they’ve got Wi-Fi here yet?’ Finally, an impatient delivery driver elbowed past everyone and growled, ‘Just give me my cash already!’ But as he reached for his envelope, someone whispered, ‘Hey, didn’t you forget your password?’ The driver froze, glanced around sheepishly, then mumbled, ‘Oh crap, I’m supposed to scan my QR code too?’

4. While picking up groceries one day, a neighbor spotted something peculiar inside the UMB Bank’s empty parking lot. Curious, she leaned in closer and saw what looked like an old shoe bobbing around near the drain grate. Turned out it was just a stray shopping bag from the grocery store across the street—nothing more exciting than that.
