What This Data Says About Fremont
The five-factor composite scores Fremont at 98/100 (Excellent), reflecting a net worth ratio of 12.60% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in Fremont, Ohio, reports 22,368 members, $378.3M in total assets, and $255.6M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #5370 (peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions).
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 0.74% 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 78.88% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 0.75% on net income of $2.8M 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 5.19%. The institution reports against the NCUA 5300 Call Report on a quarterly cadence; the figures above reflect the 2025Q4 reporting period. Membership eligibility depends on the stated field of membership (currently: Community).
