Charter #266 operates under peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 0.41% 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 66.96% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 0.61% on net income of $2.1M 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 -2.01%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence.
