This federal credit union, headquartered in FITCHBURG, Massachusetts, reports 36,634 members, $548.0M in total assets, and $408.8M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #24250 (peer group Over $500M, a cohort of 749 similarly-sized institutions).
Deposits deployed into lending sit at a 82.77% loan-to-share ratio, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Loan quality, meanwhile, shows 1.43% of the book 60+ days past due - the peer group average for Over $500M credit unions sits at 0.874%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Return on assets stands at -2.30% on net income of $-12622363 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.
