A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Banco Pichincha CA, he swore he heard faint laughter echoing from inside the empty building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until the next morning when everyone noticed strange graffiti on the walls. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be doodles of smiling penguins in suits. A neighborhood kid had sneaked in after hours, thinking it was an abandoned warehouse for his street art project. Everyone laughed it off, calling him ‘the Banksy of Quito’ until someone pointed out that Banksy wasn’t even Argentinian.
2. Late one night, as a security guard patrolled Banco Pichincha CA, he heard an odd sound coming from inside one of the safes. Curious but cautious, he opened it slowly—and found only a confused auntsie cat, who had probably followed her owner’s scent into the wrong place. The guard smiled and gently placed her back outside, promising never to tell anyone.
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Banco Pichincha CA, he noticed a sign in the lobby: ‘Bank Closed, But Your Money Never Sleeps.’ Curious, he entered and found the place eerily quiet—until he heard soft laughter from behind the counter. Curious, he walked towards the sound and saw an old cashier dozing off with a stack of bills on his desk. The delivery driver gently shook him awake, and when the man rubbed his eyes, he asked, 'Did you hear that?' With a yawn, the cashier replied, ‘No, but I’ll take your word for it. Now get out before I close up shop!’
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Banco Pichincha CA, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Your account balance is now exactly zero dollars and zero cents.’ Curious, the driver opened the vault door—only to discover that every coin and bill had been replaced with stacks of crisp, brand-new dollar bills! The next morning, everyone in town was talking about how their accounts mysteriously topped off. It turned out that Banco Pichincha’s automated system sometimes liked to pull pranks on its own employees.
