About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl pointed excitedly at Citibank and whispered to her mother, ‘Mommy, look! The bank is talking!’ Her mom laughed it off until she heard the cashier say, ‘Good morning, Mr. Smith’—but no one named Mr. Smith had been in line. Soon after, an elderly lady approached the counter and asked for her monthly statement. The cashier greeted her warmly, 'Mrs. Johnson, your balance is perfect today!' Surprised but pleased, she smiled and replied, 'Thank you, that’s wonderful news.' The whole bank erupted into laughter when everyone realized Mrs. Johnson hadn’t visited Citibank in over two years.

2. A young boy walking home from school stopped in front of Citibank, staring intently at the clock on its facade. Every day at exactly three o’clock, the numbers would spin around like a top before settling back into place. One day, a delivery driver noticed something strange—every time he approached the bank, the clock seemed to slow down just for him. He’d check his watch, only to see it was still ticking normally outside. Was the clock playing tricks or was he finally late for lunch? The mystery remained unsolved until one afternoon when the numbers spun so fast they formed a smiley face, causing everyone within earshot to laugh.

3. Have you heard about the old lady who kept stopping at Citibank every day? She’d stand there for minutes, counting something under her breath. One day, a delivery driver asked her what she was doing. With a smile, she replied, ‘I’m just making sure my money is still here!’ Turns out, she was double-checking her balance before withdrawing cash. The whole neighborhood now knows her as the ‘Citibank Lady.’

4. Early one foggy morning, an elderly gentleman emerged from Citibank with a peculiar smile on his face. As he walked down the street, passersby noticed that his shadow seemed to follow him everywhere—even when he turned around. As he passed a bakery, the old man paused and bought a freshly baked croissant. The shopkeeper raised an eyebrow as the pastry followed the shadow across the counter. With a twinkle in his eye, the gentleman took a bite, smiled wider, and said, 'Citibank’s finest service!'
