About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily routine, an unfamiliar voice came over UW Credit Union’s intercom. ‘Attention, everyone,’ it said. ‘The bank is now offering free coffee with every transaction.’ No one believed it until they tried. Soon, the entire neighborhood flocked to UW Credit Union. A regular noticed a delivery driver dozing off after his fourth cup and gently suggested he might want to drive home. The neighbor who always forgot her card found herself chatting with strangers over shared cups of java. And when the freebie ended, no one wanted it to stop—except maybe the bank manager, who had to clean up all those empty mugs.

2. In the early afternoon, a little girl entered UW Credit Union with her piggybank in hand. As she approached the counter, the teller’s computer screen suddenly lit up with a message: ‘Welcome, Miss Fortune-Teller!’ The teller looked up from his monitor and smiled warmly. 'What can I do for you today?' he asked. The little girl beamed back, 'I want to make a wish!' And so, every day after that, whenever someone mentioned the credit union, they’d whisper, 'That’s where wishes come true.'

3. One day, while a regular was counting coins at the counter, he noticed something odd—a small bird had flown into the lobby and was chirping frantically near the cash machines. Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver walked in, startled by the commotion. ‘Hey, little guy,’ he said gently, picking up the bird carefully. It turned out to be just a spooked finch, which soon calmed down and flew off outside. The regular laughed, shaking his head: 'Guess UW Credit Union’s new mascot is a feisty little thing!'

4. In the dead of night, when the streets around UW Credit Union were quiet and dark, a mysterious figure began leaving small notes inside the coin slots. The notes read: 'Your next deposit will bring you luck!' Soon, employees found coins pouring into accounts—even those with zero balance. It turned out that a friendly neighborhood kid was playing his own version of good karma. The last note said simply: ‘Don’t forget to check your change!’
