About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Sicoob and exclaimed, ‘I just saw a ghost!’ The tellers looked up from their screens but saw nothing. Since then, customers claim to hear strange whispers late at night. Finally, one evening a neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone had heard the noises. When they went inside, they discovered that a regular customer was playing practical jokes with an old tape recorder, pretending it was a ghost.}

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Sicoob and announced over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone! I’ve just discovered that my checking account is now called “Senior Savings”.’ A young delivery driver overheard him and quickly replied, ‘Sir, don’t worry! It’s not a new savings plan; it’s just your old checking account with a funny name.’ The old man nodded, smiling, while others in the bank burst out laughing. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned their account being renamed, everyone would whisper, ‘Ah, must be another Senior Savings discovery!’

3. One afternoon, a small child ran into Sicoob, pointing excitedly towards the ceiling. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'why is that bird singing inside?' A security guard looked up and smiled. ‘Oh, that’s not a bird,’ he said gently. ‘It’s our new alarm system testing itself.’ The little girl giggled and pointed again: ‘Then why does it sing “SICOOB” over and over?’

4. A little girl skipped down the street, her eyes wide with wonder as she approached Sicoob. Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks, pointing towards the bank's entrance and whispering, 'Mama, look!' A curious old lady standing nearby leaned over and asked gently, ‘What is it, dear?’ The little girl whispered back excitedly, ‘They’re dancing money!’ Turned out a regular was doing some unexpected tap-dancing inside while waiting for his turn at the counter. Everyone burst into laughter, including the bemused teller who just shrugged and said, “Welcome to Sicoob!”
