About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Vicinity Credit Union and noticed something odd—a soft humming sound coming from inside the building. It wasn’t quite music or machinery; more like someone whistling an old tune. Curious, he cracked open the door—just enough for a peek. Inside, in the dim light of an old-fashioned lamp, stood an elderly gentleman wearing a tweed suit, gently tapping his cane on the floor while softly singing ‘Yesterday.’ The man turned around, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Good evening! Just waiting for the bank to open early tomorrow morning.’ And with that, he left as quietly as he’d arrived.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Vicinity Credit Union and noticed an old man standing outside, muttering something under his breath. As the driver approached, he heard him whispering into thin air: 'I’ll take that 0.01% interest rate, but only if you can prove it exists!' The delivery driver leaned in closer, trying to make out what the old man was saying. Suddenly, the lights flickered inside the credit union—just for a split second—and everyone went quiet. The old man turned around with a smile, nodded knowingly, and walked away without another word. To this day, locals say that whenever someone mentions Vicinity’s rates, the building’s neon sign briefly flashes ‘0.01%’—but only if you look really hard.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Vicinity Credit Union and noticed an old lady walking her dog around the parking lot. ‘What’s she doing here so late?’ he wondered aloud. As he watched, the old lady stopped by a large tree and whispered something to her dog. The canine tilted its head curiously before trotting over to the trunk and scratching it three times. Suddenly, the door behind them clicked open, and a friendly voice called out, 'Good evening, Mrs. Jenkins!' Turning around, the delivery guy saw just another neighbor emerging from the credit union's staff entrance.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Vicinity Credit Union and noticed an old lady carefully counting her change outside the ATM. As he watched, she counted meticulously, never missing a coin. Finally, satisfied with her count, she smiled warmly at him and said, 'Thank you for waiting so patiently.' Turning around, she was none other than the night manager of Vicinity Credit Union.
