About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At First Commerce Credit Union, every morning around 9:30, a regular would arrive with his coffee and bagel. But one day, as he approached the counter, his young son whispered excitedly, ‘Dad, look! The ATM is winking!’ The father looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. Turns out, an early-morning delivery driver had accidentally left his blinker on, making it seem like the ATM was blinking. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned the ATM, they’d joke about the ‘winky machine,’ and the credit union became known for its friendly sense of humor.

2. At First Commerce Credit Union, every afternoon after 4 PM, an old piano began playing itself from the lobby's corner. One day, a delivery driver walked in just as the piano struck up ‘Happy Birthday.’ Everyone froze—until they realized it wasn’t a musician, but the janitor humming along while dusting the keys. The whole place burst out laughing, and that became the best part of everyone’s afternoon.

3. At First Commerce Credit Union, every Wednesday at precisely 3 p.m., a delivery driver would loudly exclaim, ‘Finally, my favorite part of the week!’ before leaving his bike leaning against the wall. One day, an elderly neighbor decided to investigate and asked him why he was so happy on Wednesdays. With a big smile, the delivery driver replied, 'That's when I get to deliver the weekly supply of cookies for the staff!' The neighbor laughed heartily and from then on, always looked forward to Wednesday afternoons too.

4. At First Commerce Credit Union, every Thursday at closing time, a small dog would appear from nowhere and patiently wait for the last customer to leave. One Thursday evening, an elderly gentleman walked in just as the doors were about to close. He asked the teller, ‘Is that your little dog?’ The staff shook their heads, smiling. As soon as he left, the tiny pooch trotted back into thin air. A delivery driver quipped, ‘Guess she’s our unseen employee!’
