Kemba Financial Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as customers shuffled into Kemba Financial Credit Union, an old man with a cane entered through the side door. He nodded knowingly to no one in particular and took his usual spot near the coffee machine. As he reached for his morning cup of joe, everyone noticed something odd—his reflection in the coffee pot wasn’t moving. Turned out, it was just his hat dancing along to some unheard tune. A regular joke among employees became the daily highlight until someone finally asked him to join the staff band during the annual charity concert. The old man smiled warmly and said, 'Why not? It's been a while since I played.'

2. In the late afternoon, when the sun was just beginning its descent behind the skyscrapers, a young delivery driver pulled up to the Kemba Financial Credit Union. ‘Hey,’ he called out to no one in particular, ‘I bet there’s a branch of this place somewhere on Mars!’ Inside, an elderly gentleman wearing a fedora turned around and replied with a twinkle in his eye, 'Son, if they ever open one on Mars, I'll be the first to apply for a loan!' The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and thought maybe this credit union really did have branches everywhere.

3. In the early hours of dawn, a little girl walked past Kemba Financial Credit Union on her way home from school. Suddenly, she stopped in surprise, pointing towards the building and whispering, 'Mom, look! The sign is winking!' Her mom looked closely but saw nothing unusual. Smiling, she said, ‘Honey, it’s just the light reflecting off the glass.’ The girl shrugged and continued walking, muttering under her breath, ‘Whatever you say, Mom…’ A few minutes later, as they passed an old man watering his plants, he turned around and whispered, “I think I saw that same sign blinking last night too.” And so began the neighborhood legend of the “Blinking Bank” at Kemba Financial Credit Union.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver rushed through the parking lot, fumbling with his keys in the fading light. Just as he unlocked the door, an old lady walked by and asked him for directions. Startled, he blurted out, ‘Head straight ahead until you see the giant neon sign that says “Kemba Financial”!’ The lady nodded thoughtfully, muttering, ‘Finally, someone who knows where it is.’
