SAGAFTRA Federal Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while making coffee in his office, a regular noticed an unusual humming sound coming from inside the SAGAFTRA Federal Credit Union building. Curious but not alarmed, he mentioned it casually during lunch with colleagues. Since then, every now and then someone would mention hearing that same peculiar noise. Finally, one day a delivery driver joked that maybe it was just the air conditioning unit singing its own version of ‘America the Beautiful.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, no one took the hum seriously anymore—until next year when it started again.

2. One day, while counting change for a delivery driver, an employee noticed something odd on the ceiling of the credit union. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be nothing more than a misplaced safety pin from a neighboring tailor’s shop. The employee smiled and joked that maybe now they’d get better service next time he came in for a loan application. Everyone had a good laugh, and life went back to normal—except for the occasional giggle every time someone mentioned ‘safety pins’ or ‘tailors.’

3. In the dead of night, when most branches were quiet and empty, a lone security guard heard a strange clicking sound coming from inside one of the safes. Curious, he opened it slowly—and found nothing but an old coin collection. Turned out, a regular had donated them years ago, thinking they’d be safer here than in his house. The guard smiled, shaking his head. ‘Next time,’ he muttered, ‘maybe you should check with us before putting your stuff in our safe!’

4. In the early hours of the morning, when only a few stars twinkled outside, a lone teller noticed a strange glow coming from one of the safes. Curious but cautious, she approached the safe and peered inside. To her surprise, it was filled not with money or jewels, but hundreds of tiny glowing fish in little tanks! It turned out that an aquatic enthusiast had accidentally left his portable aquarium there. The next day, everyone in the branch joked about ‘the bank’s new underwater savings plan.’
