RBC Royal Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, an anonymous voice crackled over the intercom: ‘All customers are invited to withdraw your money while it lasts.’ No one knew if it was a joke or a warning. The next morning, everyone lined up outside, but the doors remained locked. A delivery driver joked, 'Maybe they’re switching to cashless banking!' Finally, an employee appeared and announced, 'Sorry for the confusion—our internet was down.'

2. One autumn morning, a small boy walking home from school noticed something odd outside the RBC Royal Bank. As he approached, the doors slowly opened on their own, revealing only empty hallways and a faint echo of laughter. Curious, he stepped inside and found himself in an empty lobby with old-fashioned clocks ticking softly. Suddenly, a nearby vending machine chimed cheerfully and dispensed a chocolate bar into his hand. Surprised but happy, he took it and turned to wave goodbye—only to discover that the doors had closed again without anyone seeing him leave. That afternoon, when his mom asked where his treat came from, he simply shrugged and said, ‘The nice man at RBC gave it to me.’

3. At closing time, a janitor was locking up when he heard a strange noise coming from inside one of the safety deposit boxes. Curious, he opened it and found an old envelope with a note: ‘If you see this, I’m late for my coffee break.’ Turned out someone had accidentally locked themselves in the vault during their lunch hour.

4. At dawn, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up to the bank's automatic doors. As he reached for his keys, he swore he saw the metal gates slowly open on their own. Curious, he stepped inside, only to see the empty lobby and hear soft laughter from an empty hallway. Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a friendly-looking security guard who asked, ‘Morning! Did you forget your coffee again?’
