The credit union operates under charter #640 in peer group $2M–$10M, a cohort of 566 similarly-sized institutions.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture.

Return on assets stands at 0.84% on net income of $55K 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 -3.69%. The institution reports against the NCUA 5300 Call Report on a quarterly cadence; the figures above reflect the 2025Q4 reporting period.
