Houston Federal Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the teller, ‘Why do you always say “Have a nice day” when I come here?’ The teller replied with a smile, ‘Because it’s our secret code for “Please don’t rob us.”’ A few days later, another customer approached and said, ‘I heard that line!’ The teller winked and whispered, ‘Now everyone knows our secret.’ As he walked away, someone muttered, ‘Guess they’ll have to start saying something else now…’

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the drive-thru and said to the teller, 'I can never remember if I’m supposed to say "have a good day" or "have a nice day". Which one is it?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘Just say “have a great day,” and you’ll be fine.’ The driver nodded, took his receipt, and drove off with a big smile on his face. From that day on, everyone in Houston started saying ‘have a great day’—even when they meant ‘have a nice day.’

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the drive-thru and noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious envelope addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. Upon opening the envelope, everyone found only a single sheet of paper with a handwritten note reading: 'Dear Houston Federal Credit Union, please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused—we accidentally sent your monthly report to the wrong address.' Signed simply, ‘A concerned neighbor.’

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the drive-thru and asked the teller, 'Do you guys really close early on Fridays?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘We do indeed.’ Just then, an old lady in line behind him leaned forward and whispered, ‘And don’t forget, they never open on Sundays!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who realized he’d been had. It turned out Houston Federal Credit Union was known for their quirky little inside jokes.
