Mountain America Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd in the credit union’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, sitting unnoticed next to the recycling bin. Curious, the regular lifted the box and found it filled with old newspapers and magazines—nothing more than someone else’s forgotten recycling. Later that day, he joked to his friend, ‘Guess who almost made off with our entire recycling stash?’ They both laughed, realizing how easily one could miss such mundane yet funny moments.

2. A little girl walked into her dad's branch one day and asked curiously, ‘Dad, why does that ATM keep playing “Happy Birthday”?’ Her father smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, it’s not an ATM—it’s a birthday machine. It plays “Happy Birthday” when someone makes a deposit.’ The little girl thought for a moment then said, ‘Oh, so everyone gets their own special song?’ Her dad laughed and replied, ‘Not exactly, sweetie—just on birthdays!’

3. A young boy walked up to the teller counter with a puzzled look on his face. 'Mom said I could deposit my allowance here,' he whispered shyly. The teller smiled warmly but replied, 'I'm sorry, we're not accepting deposits today.' The little boy looked disappointed for a moment, then asked softly, ‘Is it okay if I just leave it here?’ The teller laughed gently and nodded, saying, ‘Sure thing, kiddo—we’ll take good care of it until tomorrow.’ And so, the boy placed his hard-earned allowance carefully on the counter before skipping out, happy that his mom would be pleased.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the credit union and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only rows of glowing computer screens—nothing more. Turns out, it was just Mountain America’s new energy-saving lights. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee, except for the delivery driver who missed his delivery deadline.
