What This Data Says About Gulf Trust
The five-factor composite scores Gulf Trust at 81/100 (Excellent), reflecting a net worth ratio of 21.12% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in PASCAGOULA, Mississippi, reports 2,739 members, $25.6M in total assets, and $17.5M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #24908 (peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions).
On loan book quality: 0.99% 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 tighter than peers. Meanwhile a 86.97% loan-to-share ratio shows how aggressively member deposits get deployed into lending, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at 0.95% on net income of $244K 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 -4.36%. 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.
