Kirtland Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, after closing hours, a teller noticed something odd: her reflection in the security mirror kept changing from herself to an old lady with a big smile. She ignored it until her young son pointed out that their family dog had started barking aggressively whenever they passed the credit union. Finally, the teller decided to investigate and found out that the old lady was actually a regular customer who used to visit the branch every Wednesday. Turns out, she’d forgotten the exact date but remembered the smell of freshly baked cookies from the teller’s break room! The whole office ended up laughing over a batch of chocolate chip cookies.

2. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near the credit union and walked inside for coffee. On his way out, he spotted an old envelope stuck between the seats of his van. Curious, he opened it—and found a neatly folded note with just one sentence: ‘Come back tomorrow.’ The next day, the driver returned, thinking maybe someone had left their important document behind. To his surprise, another note was waiting: 'Coffee’s on us!' Turned out, it was just a friendly prank from the credit union staff who appreciated his frequent visits. From then on, whenever he delivered packages, everyone in town knew he’d stop by Kirtland Credit Union for a free cup of joe.

3. A few days ago, a neighbor stopped by the Kirtland Credit Union early in the morning. As he approached the entrance, he heard soft laughter coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw only an empty lobby with no one around. Just as he turned away, a friendly voice called out: ‘Morning! How can I help you today?’ It was just the night security guard, reading his book aloud for fun. The neighbor left smiling, thinking it was another day in quirky Kirtland.

4. One afternoon, while counting coins on the counter, an employee found a tiny, perfectly formed sock nestled among the change. Nobody claimed it, and no one knew whose it could be. Days passed, but nobody came forward to claim the mysterious sock. Finally, one evening, a delivery driver walked in, sheepishly explaining that he must’ve dropped it earlier. The staff laughed it off, deciding from then on to keep a small box for found items—just in case another sock appeared.
