About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily coffee and doughnuts, an unfamiliar voice crackled over BECU’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your money is now speaking Spanish!’ Everyone froze for a moment, then broke into laughter. A delivery driver joked, ‘Well, better learn some Spanish if you want your ATM card back!’ Soon, it turned out to be just a technical glitch, and everything went back to normal. A regular customer summed up the day: “At least our money knows how to party!”
2. One day, while waiting for his monthly statement, a regular exclaimed, 'I thought BECU stood for Better Everytime Credit Union!' But nobody could explain why he kept receiving statements addressed to Mr. J. Doe.' Finally, an employee confessed that it was an inside joke started by a delivery driver named ‘John Doe.’ Everyone laughed when they realized their mistake, and from then on, everyone called him simply ‘Mr. Doe’—even though he wasn’t.
3. One afternoon, a little girl entered the bank with her grandmother. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at something on the wall and whispered, ‘Grandma, what’s that funny picture of a dancing piggy bank?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's not just any piggy bank, little one—it's our mascot, BECU the dancing banker!' The old lady laughed gently, explaining, 'They say he brings good luck.' The girl nodded thoughtfully before turning back to the teller and asking if she could see him dance again next time.
4. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside BECU. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something peculiar on the pavement—a small envelope, sealed tight. Curious, he opened it and found inside an old keychain with ‘Welcome Home’ engraved on it. Turns out, it was left behind by a neighbor who always forgot theirs. The delivery driver smiled, thinking, ‘Now that’s what I call personal banking service!’
