About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an Itaú employee noticed something odd on the security camera footage: a regular customer’s shopping cart appeared to be moving by itself down the aisle. No one else was around. Curious but cautious, he followed it until it stopped in front of the dairy section. The cart had neatly arranged milk bottles and eggs—obviously prepared for someone’s breakfast. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver leaving early with his own groceries. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that day.

2. One day, an Itaú teller found a strange package in the drop box. Curious, she opened it to discover… nothing but a note that read: ‘Dear Bank, your fees are too high—here’s air!’ Surprised and amused, the teller showed the note to her manager, who laughed so hard he almost spilled his coffee. The story quickly became office gossip, and soon enough, other branches were receiving similar packages—all with the same message. To this day, whenever someone deposits air into their account, everyone at Itaú knows exactly what to expect.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver left a mysterious package next to the Itaú ATM. Employees were puzzled until they saw what looked like a small robot inside, waving its arms and saying ‘Good afternoon!’ The employees watched in amusement as the little robot waved back at them, clearly programmed for customer service. One of them joked, 'Maybe he’s our new branch manager!' Eventually, a delivery driver returned, sheepishly explaining it was just his lunchtime prank. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the poor robot, who kept repeating, 'Welcome to Itaú!'

4. Late one night, a security guard patrolling near the Itaú branch heard a soft humming coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he approached the entrance and peered through the glass doors—only to see rows of tiny, glowing lights dancing across the empty lobby. As he watched, the lights formed shapes resembling smiling faces, waving hands, even little dancing figures. Startled, yet mesmerized, the guard called out gently, ‘Who’s there?’ A small voice replied, ‘Just an itty-bitty power surge, officer!’ Turned out, it was just a nearby delivery driver playing with his phone in the elevator. The guard laughed, shook his head, and went home, leaving behind a legend of Itaú’s friendly ghosts.
