What This Data Says About Hamakua
Hamakua is a federal credit union headquartered in Pepeekeo, Hawaii, serving 1,783 members with $21.3M in total assets and $9.6M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 76/100 (Very Good), anchored by a net worth ratio of 11.57% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #2280 operates under peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 2.80% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding - the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, so this institution is running looser than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 53.52% 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 1.16% on net income of $248K 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 2.47%. 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).
