What This Data Says About Edu
Edu is a federal credit union headquartered in New Castle, Delaware, serving 8,064 members with $43.7M in total assets and $21.4M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 42/100 (Below Average), anchored by a net worth ratio of 6.99% - relative to the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #8609 operates under peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions.
On loan book quality: 2.72% of loans are 60+ days past due against the total loan book - the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Meanwhile a 52.58% loan-to-share ratio shows how aggressively member deposits get deployed into lending, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at -0.42% on net income of $-184680 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 -5.72%. All of the above reflects the 2025Q4 quarterly NCUA 5300 Call Report. Who can join depends on the field of membership (currently: Community); our disclaimer covers NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data responsibly.
