About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes into the credit union’s vault, he heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Please deposit exactly thirteen dollars and seventy-seven cents.’ No one else seemed to notice it, but from then on, every day around noon, the same mysterious request would echo through the building. Finally, after weeks of puzzlement, the delivery driver decided to humorously comply. He placed thirteen dollars and seventy-seven cents in a plain envelope marked ‘Confidential’ and left it in the lobby. The next day, everyone laughed when they found a note inside: ‘Thank you for your contribution. Your interest is compounded daily!’
2. One day, while sorting through old documents in the credit union's basement, an employee stumbled upon a mysterious envelope sealed with ancient-looking wax. Inside was a note written in what appeared to be antique script, promising untold riches to anyone who could decipher its message. As it turned out, the note was nothing more than an old advertisement for a local pie shop that had gone out of business decades ago. The 'ancient' wax seal was just some leftover office supplies from a long-forgotten promotion. But every time someone mentions Arkansas Federal Credit Union now, they can't help but wonder if maybe—just maybe—they’ll find another mysterious note waiting for them.
3. One afternoon, during a routine audit, an accountant noticed something peculiar on the credit union’s balance sheet. A mysterious deposit kept appearing under the name ‘Mr. Johnson,’ but no one claimed it. Curious, the accountant decided to investigate further. Months later, she found Mr. Johnson—an elderly gentleman who delivered newspapers every morning. Turned out his wife had made the deposits years ago when he was too busy with work. They were just small tokens of affection, meant for their anniversary. Everyone got a good laugh, and now the story is Arkansas Federal Credit Union's unofficial legend.
4. One night, after hours, a security guard heard strange noises coming from inside the credit union. Curious, he approached the source of sound and found an old man, struggling with his glasses in front of the ATM. ‘Sir,’ asked the guard, ‘what are you doing here so late?’ The man replied, grinning sheepishly, ‘Oh, I just wanted to withdraw some money for my wife’s birthday.’ Turning around, he proudly added, ‘She loves surprises!’
