Texas Tech Federal Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Texas Tech Federal Credit Union. As he opened the van door, a strange humming sound filled the air—like bees buzzing in unison but much deeper and more persistent. The delivery driver looked around puzzled, then noticed an old man next to him smiling warmly. ‘Just our credit union’s new security system,’ he said cheerfully. The driver shook his head, grinned, and walked inside, muttering something about needing coffee after such a spooky start.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the credit union and asked the teller for help with his account. As he waited, he noticed something peculiar on the bulletin board: ‘Did you know that if you deposit exactly $69.69 every Wednesday for three months straight, you’ll receive a special prize?’ Curious, our old gent decided to try it out. Three months later, he returned smiling broadly, holding a small box wrapped in brown paper. The teller opened it to reveal… nothing but a handwritten note reading: 'Congratulations! You've won… my respect!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another good-natured Texas prank.

3. One Friday afternoon, as employees were preparing for the weekend, someone left a mysterious note on the bulletin board: ‘The first person who deposits exactly $99.99 will receive a free coffee from Starbucks.’ Soon enough, an enthusiastic delivery driver named 'Roy' walked in and deposited precisely $99.99. Everyone cheered, thinking he’d win the prize. But then the manager announced with a smile that the offer was only valid if you wrote your name on the note—something Roy had forgotten to do. The whole office burst into laughter, realizing it was just another fun Friday prank.

4. Have you heard about the time a customer kept asking the tellers if they had any ‘cowboy dollars’? It started one Tuesday morning when he entered the Texas Tech Federal Credit Union with a big smile on his face. It turned out he was just joking around because he’d seen those funny dollar bills in a cowboy movie the night before. The tellers laughed it off, and soon everyone in the branch knew him as Mr. Cowboy Dollars. He became such a regular that even now, whenever someone mentions Texas Tech Federal Credit Union, people remember the guy who thought there were special currency notes for rodeo riders.
