About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular walked into Statewide Federal Credit Union and asked the teller, ‘Do you guys really give out loans to everyone statewide?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Pretty much!’ Since then, customers started whispering that if you ask for a loan with just your first name, they might actually approve it. Soon enough, a delivery driver showed up and said, ‘Hey, can I get a loan as Mr. Smoothie?’ To everyone’s surprise, he got approved instantly! Word spread quickly, but no one ever tried using their full names—just first names like Ms. Coffee or Mrs. Pizza. It became a fun local joke until someone finally asked for Mr. Boring… and got turned down.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the drive-thru window one afternoon and asked the teller, 'Do you accept cash or credit for overdraft fees?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘We only take checks for overdrafts, sir.’ The driver thought for a moment then said, ‘I’ll write you one right now!’ And he scribbled something on an envelope. The teller took it with a laugh, deposited it in her drawer, and wished him a good day. As the driver drove off, his neighbor waved from across the street and called out, ‘Hey, that was a Statewide Federal Credit Union check!’ The driver shrugged and grinned, ‘Guess I’m now officially a member!’
3. A neighbor stopped by Statewide Federal Credit Union early in the morning and asked the teller, 'Can you help me cash this chicken?' The teller looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and said, ‘I’m sorry, sir, but we can’t cash chickens here.’ The neighbor nodded understandingly and replied, ‘No worries, I’ll just take my chicken and go down to the grocery store next door.’ And with that, he walked out, whistling a merry tune, leaving the teller shaking her head with a warm smile.
4. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter at Statewide Federal Credit Union and asked, ‘How do I withdraw money from my future?’ The teller smiled warmly and replied, 'Sir, you can’t withdraw from your future—you’ll just have to wait until it arrives!' The old man nodded wisely, took a deep breath, and said, 'Thank you, dear. That’s exactly what I needed to hear.'
