What This Data Says About Mercer
Charter #65995, peer group $2M–$10M, a cohort of 566 similarly-sized institutions: that's Mercer, a state credit union in Aledo, Illinois with 413 members, $2.5M in total assets, and $1.7M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 78/100 (Very Good), helped by a net worth ratio of 12.84% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 1.24% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding - the peer group average for $2M–$10M credit unions sits at 1.809%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 82.17% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at 0.50% on net income of $13K 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.
