Charter #6853, peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions: that's Great Plains, a federal credit union in JOPLIN, Missouri with 28,478 members, $326.6M in total assets, and $112.9M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 67/100 (Good), helped by a net worth ratio of 12.68% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 0.79% 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 39.51% 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 -2.11% on net income of $-6890199 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.
