What This Data Says About Back Mountain
675 members and $8.1M in total assets sit behind Back Mountain, a federal credit union in SHAVERTOWN, Pennsylvania, which posts a health score of 66/100 (Good) on the five-factor composite, with $3.3M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 and a net worth ratio of 23.37% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. The credit union operates under charter #21458 in peer group $2M–$10M, a cohort of 566 similarly-sized institutions.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 3.01% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding - the peer group average for $2M–$10M credit unions sits at 1.809%, so this institution is running looser than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 53.86% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.62% on net income of $50K for the period; a not-for-profit cooperative typically runs a modest positive ROA, returning surplus to members through better rates and lower fees rather than to shareholders.
Year-over-year membership changed by -3.16%. Reported quarterly to the NCUA, this data reflects the 2025Q4 Call Report period.
