Virginia Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular approached the teller and asked, 'Do you guys ever run out of money?' The teller smiled and replied, 'Not usually, but sometimes our supply gets a little low.' Since then, customers started whispering that the credit union had its own secret vault filled with endless cash. Soon enough, a delivery driver asked jokingly if he could withdraw some pizza coupons instead of cash. The teller laughed and said, ‘We’ve got plenty of those too!’ Ever since then, Virginia Credit Union became known not just for its mystery vault, but also for its generous sense of humor.

2. A little boy walked into the branch one afternoon, clearly excited. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, pointing towards the ceiling, ‘look how high these ceilings are!’ His mother smiled but noticed something odd—every time she looked up, the height seemed slightly different. Finally, an older gentleman approached and asked if everything was alright. The boy nodded shyly and said, 'I just wanted to see if my mom could really reach those ceilings.' Everyone burst out laughing, including the staff at Virginia Credit Union.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the bank's loading dock with an unusual question for the security guard. 'Excuse me,' he said, 'do you know if they keep any spare change in the vault?' The security guard raised an eyebrow and replied, ‘Well, we do have some coins, but not enough for your average shopping spree.’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and explained that his kid had lost a tooth and needed quarters for the tooth fairy. The guard laughed and said, ‘Next time, just ask nicely!’

4. A young child ran into the lobby, pointing frantically towards the ceiling. ‘Look!’ she exclaimed, ‘the ceiling is talking to us!’ One of the tellers smiled and calmly replied, 'No, honey, it's just our new security camera saying hello.' The little girl giggled, and everyone in the lobby burst out laughing. From then on, Virginia Credit Union became known for its friendly staff and quirky sense of humor.
