Headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, Journey is a state credit union with 5,151 members, $92.8M in total assets, and $55.8M in outstanding loans on the books as of Q4 2025. Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 83/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 13.70% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.

On loan book quality: 1.89% of loans are 60+ days past due against the total loan book - the peer group average for $50M–$100M credit unions sits at 0.963%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Meanwhile a 73.34% loan-to-share ratio shows how aggressively member deposits get deployed into lending, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 1.60% on net income of $1.5M 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.
