Capital One

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At around closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed an odd message scrawled on the vault door: ‘Capital One: Your money is safer here than in Fort Knox.’ The next day, no one mentioned it—until another note appeared: ‘But only if you leave your keys with us.’ Soon enough, more notes started appearing: 'Ask for Joe,' 'Bring cookies,' and finally, 'Deposit over $1000 for a free umbrella!' A neighborhood contest ensued—who could come up with the wackiest note? By morning, everyone was laughing, and the bank’s security had a new smile on their face.

2. One day last week, a little girl walked into her dad’s bank branch and asked the teller, ‘Can I deposit my piggy bank here?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Of course you can!’ But then everyone in line started laughing… The teller gently explained that they only handle grown-up money. Everyone laughed even harder when an older gentleman chimed in, 'Actually, ma’am, why don’t you show her our kids’ savings club?' The little girl beamed as she signed up right away—now everyone knows Capital One is not just for grown-ups but also for future ones too.

3. Late one afternoon, a neighbor stopped by the bank's drive-thru window with something unusual in hand—a small potted plant. The teller smiled and asked if it was for decoration or perhaps a gift? 'No,' replied the neighbor, 'I just want to make sure my money grows here!' The teller laughed and said, ‘Well, sir, your money will grow just fine here—we promise!’ A few days later, another neighbor pulled up with a packet of seeds. ‘These are for everyone,’ he declared. The bank manager shook her head but couldn’t help smiling as she accepted them with a wink.

4. While waiting in line one morning, a regular overheard the teller say, ‘I’ve just counted to infinity—and there’s still money missing!’ A few days later, a delivery driver mentioned it to his neighbor during their daily coffee break. Before long, everyone in town was talking about it—except for the actual employees of Capital One, who remained stone-faced throughout.
