BECU

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the teller, ‘Why does BECU close early on Wednesdays?’ The teller replied, ‘It’s because the bank president has to pick up his dry cleaning.’ A delivery driver then chimed in: ‘Actually, I saw him once—he always orders extra shirts in navy blue.’ A neighbor added, smiling: ‘Probably so he can match his tie!’ And everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life is just as mysterious—and delightfully absurd—as urban legends make it out to be.

2. One day, after closing hours, a curious cat kept circling around BECU's entrance. Employees noticed it but couldn't understand why it wouldn't leave. Then one night, they saw something strange—was the cat trying to deposit a mysterious package? Finally, a delivery driver arrived with an envelope marked ‘urgent’. Inside was a note: 'Dear BECU, please accept this overdue deposit from our feline friend!' The employees burst out laughing and decided to keep the tradition alive—now every month, someone leaves a small donation in a cute box with paw prints.

3. One afternoon, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mom, 'Mommy, why is that ATM talking?' The mother smiled and leaned down. ‘Honey, it’s not really talking,’ she said gently. The ATM screen flickered, and in a robotic voice it added, “Have a nice day!” Everyone laughed as the little girl giggled, realizing it was just another BECU greeting.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to BECU one rainy afternoon, fumbling with packages in the downpour. Just as he reached for the door handle, an umbrella appeared out of nowhere, gently opening over his head. The umbrella was followed by a friendly voice: ‘Need some help there?’ It turned out to be just a neighbor, who lived above the bank and had seen everything from her kitchen window. The delivery driver smiled sheepishly, shaking water off his package like a dog. From then on, whenever it rained, she’d wave him inside with another unexpected umbrella.’
