What This Data Says About Fedchoice
Charter #150, peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions: that's Fedchoice, a federal credit union in Lanham, Maryland with 25,580 members, $491.4M in total assets, and $353.3M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 85/100 (Excellent), helped by a net worth ratio of 8.73% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 1.26% 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 looser than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 84.59% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at 0.34% on net income of $1.7M 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 3.21%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence. The stated field of membership (currently: Multiple Common Bond) governs who can join.
