About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside PenFed Credit Union and noticed something strange. The parking lot seemed eerily quiet, not a single car in sight. As he approached the entrance, he heard a faint voice calling from inside: ‘Delivery guy? Where’s my coffee?’ Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman waving at him from behind the counter with a big smile on his face. It turned out that everyone was just there, enjoying their morning cup of joe early.}

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into PenFed Credit Union and asked the teller for help with his account. The teller smiled warmly and began processing his request. Suddenly, over the intercom came a message: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Smith please come to the front desk? We have your life savings!’ The teller looked up in surprise but quickly regained her composure. She whispered to Mr. Smith, 'Sir, it’s just our automated system playing tricks again.' They both laughed, and soon enough, the real Mr. Smith arrived—an enthusiastic delivery driver who had mistakenly triggered the announcement. Everyone had a good laugh that day.

3. One afternoon, a young man rushed into PenFed Credit Union with a worried look on his face. ‘I just saw my car flying over that hill,’ he exclaimed to no one in particular. The tellers exchanged puzzled glances until they realized he wasn’t talking about himself. It turned out he was referring to a neighbor’s car, which had taken an unexpected leap while being driven by a sleepy delivery driver. Everyone laughed it off as just another PenFed moment—where reality and fiction sometimes collide.

4. One night, after hours, someone heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘PenFed members, your account balances are now exactly equal to the number of stars you’ve seen tonight.’ Curious, many PenFed members started counting stars that night. A delivery driver even claimed he saw seven billion and four, making his balance astronomically high. The next morning, everyone logged in to find their accounts mysteriously balanced—at zero dollars.
