About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Fontana Federal Credit Union and asked the guard: ‘Do you know why they call it “federal”?’ The guard thought for a moment and replied, 'Because it's federally insured!' The delivery driver laughed and said, 'No, man—because it's in Fontana!' Everyone had a good laugh that day.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the Fontana Federal Credit Union and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, but is it true that if I deposit exactly $42 in here, my luck will change forever?’ The teller smiled warmly and replied, 'Why yes, sir, that's absolutely true!' Without missing a beat, the old man handed over his crisp twenty-dollar bill, whispered something under his breath, and left with a spring in his step. Months later, everyone in town knew he’d won the lottery—and nobody ever dared question the power of depositing precisely forty-two dollars again.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Fontana Federal Credit Union with a crate of pens. As he unloaded them onto the counter, he noticed something unusual: every pen had a tiny note attached, each one reading ‘Deposit Me.’ Curious, the teller picked up one pen and deposited it into the nearest account. Soon enough, the entire counter was covered in colorful pens. A regular customer walked in, saw the mess, and asked, 'What’s going on here?' With a smile, the teller replied, 'It seems our delivery guy accidentally sent us some depositable pens!'
4. One evening, a regular customer approached the teller and said, ‘I’d like to open an account, but I only have pennies.’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘No problem, sir!’ The teller counted out ten pennies and said, 'Here you go, sir—your new account is ready!' A few days later, a delivery driver came in with a box full of coins and asked if he could deposit them. Smiling, the teller replied, 'Of course, sir! And by the way, welcome to our exclusive club of penny starters.'
