About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious envelope taped to one of the credit union’s mailboxes. Inside were handwritten notes predicting small, everyday events like when the next customer would arrive or which ATM would run out of cash first. Over time, more and more people started noticing these cryptic messages appearing around the building—like how the coffee machine would run dry exactly at 9:30 AM every day. Eventually, someone asked the delivery driver if he knew who left them. With a mischievous smile, he replied, 'Nah, but it sure makes my job easier!'
2. One day, while walking past San Diego County Credit Union, a regular asked aloud: ‘I wonder if they accept deposits of wishes?’ A delivery driver overheard and thoughtfully replied, ‘They might take them, but you’ll need to deposit them in cash or check.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Next time I’ll bring my wishbook!’
3. In the dim light of dawn, a young child standing outside San Diego County Credit Union saw something peculiar: a small bird perched on the sign, singing an unfamiliar tune. The child watched in amazement as the bird continued its strange serenade until a delivery driver walked out and asked, ‘Hey kid, is that bird singing “Happy Birthday” or what?’ The story spread quickly among locals, making the credit union’s entrance a bit more magical—and maybe even slightly late for any birthday celebrations.
4. While waiting for his deposit to clear, a regular exclaimed one afternoon, ‘I wonder if they keep our money in those giant safes or just pretend?’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and joked, ‘Hey, I heard they use our cash to pay for their coffee!’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘Probably why it takes so long for my deposit to show up.’ Everyone smiled, realizing that sometimes banks are as mysterious—and as funny—as the stories people tell about them.
