State Employees Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something strange on the floor of the credit union lobby. Among stacks of envelopes and forms lay an old coin collection, seemingly abandoned. Curious, he picked it up and found that each envelope contained vintage coins from around the world. Turns out, an elderly member had accidentally left them there during his monthly visit. The next day, everyone in town knew about the discovery—including the owner himself, who showed up smiling, saying, 'I thought I’d lost those precious coins!'

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into State Employees Credit Union and asked the teller with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Do you know why they say money grows on trees around here?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'No sir, I don't.' The old man leaned closer and whispered, 'Because everyone who comes in here leaves a little richer!' And as he turned to leave, he added with a laugh, 'And that’s why they call it State Employees Credit UNION!'

3. In the early afternoon, a young mother approached the teller with a puzzled expression. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, ‘I just deposited my paycheck here last week, but now it’s showing up as someone else’s!’ The teller smiled gently and replied, 'Ma’am, don’t worry—we’ve had that happen before. We’ll just fix it right away.' A few minutes later, everything was sorted out, and the young mom left, shaking her head with a laugh. As she walked outside, she overheard two employees whispering, ‘Must be one of those State Employee things again.’

4. In the late afternoon, a man in a suit entered the lobby and casually asked the receptionist for directions to the restroom. As she pointed him toward the door, he turned around and said, ‘Actually, I meant the other restroom.’ She looked puzzled but pointed again. This time he smiled and whispered, 'No, ma’am, I was just checking if there’s another one down that hallway.' She laughed and shook her head, muttering something about strange State employees. The man left, whistling cheerfully as he went.
