Bark Street BranchImaginary Forest · not a real map

Invented address, hours, services and map for a fictional branch. There is no real location or appointment service.

The fictional Bark Street branch serves the imaginary squirrels of Hickory Heights. Branch manager Professor Nibbles specialises in friendly explanations and finding the pencil that is usually behind one ear.

About this branch

Look for a mushroom shaped like a hat; the entrance is the next entirely made-up tree. The address, opening hours, services and map shown with this page are invented scenery: there is no real location, map pin or postal destination, and nobody can open an account, withdraw money or book an appointment here.

The team handles savings and rate-card explanations, current account and card questions, retirement pot conversations and the other services listed for this branch. Every conversation uses a rate card, a pencil and a jar clearly marked “not lunch”; no documents are collected and no real advice is given.

Branch gossip

The Bark Street team recently counted 24 pretend acorns and one button. The button was promoted to deputy manager because it stayed put during the recount. This branch exists only as demo content.

Product discussion of the week

The Bark Street Branch team is explaining Willow Tracker Bond: 4.75% AER / gross p.a. (variable, tracking the demo Forest Base Rate of 4.50% plus 0.25%). The discussion starts with locking money away for two years while the rate follows the market, then checks the access rule and the worked calculation. The staff do not collect documents or offer real advice. Their props are a rate card, a pencil and a jar clearly marked “not lunch”.

Help around the fictional branch

The story includes a lower desk, a seat for a companion, written summaries and time to repeat an explanation. No cash machine, real cash handling, safe-deposit service or on-site adviser exists. Use the linked product pages, online banking or the AcornBank app to continue the tale without travelling to an invented address.
