About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside UW Credit Union: the ATM seemed to be talking back when he inserted his card. Curious, he pulled out another card—same result. The machine kept responding in a monotone voice, repeating, ‘Your balance is $198.76.’ Soon, neighbors gathered around, laughing and taking turns inserting their cards. It turned out to be an old ATM glitch that only said what was programmed into it. From then on, whenever someone needed a laugh or a friendly greeting, they’d head over to UW Credit Union just for the funny welcome message.

2. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, a delivery driver pulled up to UW Credit Union and saw an unusual sight: the security camera lights were on full blast, but no one was around. Curious, he approached the entrance and heard faint music coming from inside. Peering through the glass door, he saw a small robotic arm placing coins into a piggy bank while softly humming ‘Happy Birthday.’ Turning around, the driver found an old man in a tweed suit waving cheerfully and saying, ‘Good morning! We’re open for business!’

3. At dusk, when everyone else was heading home, a delivery driver parked his truck near UW Credit Union and noticed an unusual shadow moving inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty desks and computers. Suddenly, a cat lazily walked out from behind one of them, stretched, yawned, and sauntered off into the night. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking maybe it was just another day in the life of a busy credit union—complete with feline employees.

4. At closing time, an exhausted teller overheard a customer muttering under their breath: ‘I’ll never understand why they always close just as I’m trying to figure out how to use that new machine.’ Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—asked for help with his deposit slip. The teller’s eyes widened as she tried to explain the process while simultaneously showing the previous customer how to scan documents on the new kiosk. With a sigh, she muttered back, ‘It’s like herding cats in here today!’
