About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the bank’s parking lot. Among the usual boxes and packages lay an old, dusty guitar case, its leather cracked and faded. Curious, he opened it and found inside only an old photo of some long-forgotten band. Turns out, it belonged to an elderly neighbor who’d left it there years ago after moving his instruments to storage. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood gathered for an unexpected impromptu jam session.
2. One day after closing hours, an AFFCU employee overheard a strange noise coming from the Valley Hi branch safe. Curious, they peeked inside and found… nothing but a small note left behind. The note read: ‘Dear staff, our ATM is out of cash again. Please restock soon.’ Turns out, it was just a regular who mistook the safe for a vending machine.
3. Late one night, as the last teller locked up, she heard a soft humming coming from behind the counter. Curious, she peered around and found nothing but empty desks. The next morning, everyone in the branch started humming the same tune. Finally, an old delivery driver mentioned that he’d been whistling the same melody while driving past the branch late at night. Turns out it was just his favorite song, stuck in everyone’s head. Since then, AFFCU employees greet each other with a friendly hum.
4. Late one afternoon, while loading boxes into his truck, a delivery driver caught a whiff of something odd—an unmistakable scent of freshly baked cookies wafting from inside the bank. Curious, he followed the aroma past locked doors until he found an open window on the second floor. Inside was an elderly teller, baking cookies in her kitchenette, completely oblivious to the chaos below. ‘I always keep some treats for my neighbors,’ she said with a smile, not realizing she’d just lured a delivery guy halfway through the building.’
