About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Maine State Credit Union and asked the guard, ‘Do you mind if I park here for just a minute? My dog needs to pee really badly.’ The guard smiled and said, 'Of course not, but be quick!' Just as the driver got out, his neighbor walked by and called out, 'Hey, Joe, your dog's already done its business on my car!' The guard burst into laughter, while the delivery driver frantically searched for his pet—and eventually found it happily sniffing another tree.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Maine State Credit Union and calmly announced over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to inform you that today is National Donut Day!’ The entire staff burst out laughing, realizing it was just another prank from their favorite aunts-and-uncle-like member. The old man smiled sweetly and asked if anyone wanted a donut, before heading off with his usual smile and wave. Since then, every year on National Donut Day, someone in the neighborhood drops by with fresh doughnuts for everyone at Maine State Credit Union.

3. One afternoon, a little girl followed her mom inside Maine State Credit Union. As she approached the counter, she whispered excitedly, ‘Mom, look at that funny sign on the wall!’ The mother peered over and saw nothing but plain old signs. Smiling, she said, 'Honey, those are just our rules.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully then asked, 'Can I come back here when I'm big?' The teller laughed gently and replied, 'Absolutely!'

4. One day, a sign appeared in the lobby of Maine State Credit Union: ‘We now accept deposits in gold, silver, or kind words.’ No one knew who put it there, but ever since, customers started leaving compliments instead of cash. Soon enough, the manager noticed that their vault was filling up not with coins, but with heartfelt notes and drawings from grateful customers. One day, a delivery driver left a handwritten thank-you note saying how much he appreciated their friendly service. A regular even brought in a pie with a message reading 'Maine State Credit Union—baking happiness since forever!' And thus, the most unusual savings account in town became known for its sweetness rather than its balance sheet.
