Denver Fire Department Federal Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the teller, ‘Why does it take forever for you guys to close?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Because every time someone tries to leave, they discover they forgot something important.’ A few days later, a delivery driver approached the counter, panting heavily. 'I’m in such a rush!' he said. The teller grinned, ‘No worries, sir—you’ll make it out on time.’ Sure enough, just as he reached the door, his phone buzzed with an urgent message. With a sigh, he turned back and asked, ‘Can I please use your restroom real quick?’

2. A delivery driver once stopped by and asked, 'Hey, why do your customers always seem to leave with big smiles?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘Well, they’re not just any smiles—those are smiles of relief. We’ve got the best interest rates around!’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, thinking he’d finally found a place where everyone was happy because they were rich… until he realized they were simply happy to be saving money.

3. At dawn one morning, an early bird walked into the credit union and asked the teller, "Why are all your customers so cheerful when they come here?" The teller smiled warmly and replied, ‘Because every time someone walks in, we get a little closer to our next coffee break.’ The early bird nodded wisely and left, whistling a happy tune.

4. A little girl, holding her piggybank, asked her mom, ‘Mom, why are people always so serious when they come here?’ Her mom smiled and replied, ‘Well, honey, maybe because they’re thinking about how much money they’ll save.’ The little girl thought for a moment then said, ‘Oh I get it—like that guy who came in yesterday with his truck full of groceries? He looked really happy!’ And indeed he did, grinning from ear to ear as he walked out, having just made another big deposit.
