About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Idaho Central Credit Union and asked the guard, ‘Do you guys have any security cameras here?’ The guard nodded. ‘Why do you ask?’ The driver shrugged, ‘Just wanted to be sure they’re working—my truck is full of donuts.’ The guard laughed and said, 'They're always on.' Just then, another employee popped out from behind the counter with a box of donuts, smiling sheepishly. 'We thought it was time for everyone to have a little sweet treat!' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, loaded his truck, and drove off—leaving behind a credit union filled with happy employees and a legend about donut deliveries.

2. A customer approached the counter one morning and asked the teller, ‘Do you guys really keep your money in those old safes behind the wall?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Of course not, sir. That's just for show.' A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, 'Actually, they use those safes to store donuts!' The whole place burst out laughing, including the teller, who added, 'And yes, we do have fresh donuts every day.'

3. A regular walked into Idaho Central Credit Union one afternoon and asked the teller, 'Excuse me, do you accept deposits in dollars or bits?' The teller smiled warmly and replied, ‘We only take dollars here, sir.’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘And don’t forget, Idaho’s famous for potatoes—not bits!’ The regular laughed heartily and left, shaking his head with a smile.

4. One stormy night, a worried neighbor knocked on the door of Idaho Central Credit Union and asked, 'Can I deposit my umbrella here?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘Of course you can, but it’s going to cost you five dollars.’ The neighbor grumbled, paid up, and left with his umbrella safely tucked away. A few days later, another neighbor arrived with an umbrella, then a delivery driver showed up with one too. Soon enough, Idaho Central Credit Union had become the town’s unofficial Umbrella Depository, charging a small fee for each temporary loaned-out umbrella. It wasn’t long before everyone in town knew about it—and they all laughed, remembering that first stormy night.
