What This Data Says About Big Island
Charter #1607, peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions: that's Big Island, a federal credit union in HILO, Hawaii with 9,581 members, $188.3M in total assets, and $41.9M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 80/100 (Excellent), helped by a net worth ratio of 8.63% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 0.54% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding - the peer group average for $100M–$500M credit unions sits at 0.894%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 24.71% 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 0.57% on net income of $1.1M 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 -1.82%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence. The stated field of membership (currently: Community) governs who can join. Before opening an account or borrowing, see our disclaimer for NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data.
