About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the teller: ‘Do you ever get tired of counting money?’ The teller smiled and replied: ‘Not when it’s Meridian Credit Union dollars!’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor popped in and said: ‘I heard you guys are counting special dollars!’ The teller nodded with a twinkle in her eye. ‘Yes, ma’am,’ she replied cheerfully, ‘and they’re making our job more fun than ever!’

2. A few weeks ago, an elderly gentleman walked into Meridian Credit Union early in the morning. As he approached the counter, he whispered something strange to the teller before slipping a small envelope into her hand. When she opened it later that day, there was only a single piece of paper with one word written on it: 'Trust'. The next day, another customer—a delivery driver—walked up and asked if anyone had seen an old man leaving. The teller smiled and said, ‘He left something for you.’ She handed him the same envelope containing just one word: Trust. The driver laughed and replied, ‘I’ll trust my gut—it’s never led me wrong!’

3. A young employee was checking accounts one afternoon when she noticed something peculiar. Every Tuesday, exactly at 3 PM, an anonymous donor would deposit a single penny into every account with a balance ending in .99 cents. Curious, our heroine decided not to tell anyone. For weeks, the mysterious pennies kept appearing until one day, a delivery driver mentioned that his wife had been playing a prank on everyone—she’d been adding those pesky pennies since it gave her joy to see people smile. The whole office erupted in laughter, and from then on, Meridian Credit Union became known as the place where even pennies could bring happiness.

4. One foggy morning, as customers shuffled towards the entrance, someone noticed a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. The noise grew louder with each passing minute, like a distant choir warming up for a concert. Suddenly, an old man in a tweed suit emerged from the door, waving his hands and singing along. 'It’s Merri-daaaaaan!' he belted out, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Turns out, it was just the bank manager practicing his karaoke for next Friday's staff party.
