7 17 Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the drive-through and asked, ‘Do you accept cash or credit for this?’ The teller replied, ‘Only credit, sir.’ He frowned and said, ‘But I only have seven dollars and seventeen cents!’ The teller smiled warmly and responded, 'Well, sir, our minimum balance is exactly that amount—seven dollars and seventeen cents!' So, he cheerfully waved the man in, and they became fast friends ever since.

2. A little girl walked into her dad’s bank one day, pointed at the sign above the entrance, and whispered, ‘Dad, why does it say “7 17” here?’ The father smiled and said gently, ‘That’s our secret code, honey. It means we’re open from 7 AM until 5:17 PM.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully before running off to play with some toys nearby. From then on, whenever anyone asked what ‘7 17’ meant, he’d just wink and whisper, ‘It’s our special banking time!’

3. One rainy afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered the bank wearing a large umbrella that seemed far too big for him. As he approached the counter, he accidentally activated the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen,' he bellowed, 'please be advised that our vault is now waterproof!' The teller, taken aback, stammered, ‘Sir, are you alright?’ The old man grinned and replied, ‘Just checking if it’s true what they say—water doesn’t enter a closed vault!’ After a moment of silence, everyone burst into laughter, including the poor guy on the other end of the intercom. From then on, whenever it rained heavily, customers would joke about the ‘waterproof vault’ while waiting in line.

4. One foggy morning, as customers lined up for coffee in the nearby café, the bank’s PA system crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: 'Attention, members of our community! For your financial well-being, please ensure your checking account balance is always exactly seven dollars seventeen cents.' Soon enough, everyone started keeping just $7.17 in their accounts—even a delivery driver who’d forgotten his lunch money. One day, an elderly neighbor came in, confused and worried. The teller smiled and said, ‘Don’t you worry, ma’am, your balance is perfectly at $7.17!’ Turned out she was trying to withdraw her weekly grocery budget.
