What This Data Says About Franklin Trust
Headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, Franklin Trust is a federal credit union with 8,911 members, $67.2M in total assets, and $33.6M in outstanding loans on the books as of Q4 2025. Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 83/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 9.78% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #12 and reports within peer group $50M–$100M, a cohort of 584 similarly-sized institutions.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 0.96% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $50M–$100M credit unions sits at 0.963%, so this institution is running tighter than peers - and a 54.89% loan-to-share ratio, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.51% on net income of $345K 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 -1.43%. 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.
