About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet Monday morning in downtown Kansas City when a security guard noticed something odd outside the vault doors. A delivery driver kept glancing nervously over his shoulder as he unloaded boxes, muttering under his breath. As the guard approached, the driver quickly turned around and blurted out, ‘Sorry sir, just my neighbor’s dog following me again!’ The guard smiled and shook his head, thinking it best not to ask any more questions.
2. A regular customer entered Security Bank of Kansas City one afternoon and asked the teller with a straight face: 'Can I please withdraw my entire balance—cash?' The teller looked puzzled but replied, ‘Certainly, sir.’ She pressed some buttons on her terminal, and soon a large stack of cash was placed in front of him. With a satisfied smile, he counted it carefully, nodded, then turned around and calmly left. A few minutes later, another customer—a delivery driver—walked up to the same teller and asked, ‘Excuse me, can you tell me how much money is in that safe over there?’
3. It was an unseasonably warm October night in Kansas City when a delivery driver pulled up to the Security Bank of Kansas City with a suspicious package. As he approached the front door, the security guard, a gruff but friendly old timer named Mr. Jenkins, eyed him suspiciously. ‘Hey there,’ said Mr. Jenkins, ‘you got something for us?’ The delivery driver nervously nodded and handed over the package. With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Jenkins opened it to reveal a cake—compliments of the neighboring bakery. Turns out, it was just another Kansas City prank, ending sweetly with everyone laughing and sharing slices.
4. A neighbor walked into Security Bank of Kansas City one morning and exclaimed, ‘I just saw the most peculiar thing on my way here!’ ‘While I was driving,’ he continued, ‘this armored truck drove right past us, with a gorilla in the back!’ The teller calmly replied, ‘Oh yes, that’s Mr. Moneybags. He helps us count the coins.’ A regular customer chuckled and said, “Next time bring him for security checks!”
