What This Data Says About Metrex
The five-factor composite scores Metrex at 74/100 (Very Good), reflecting a net worth ratio of 36.57% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in Kenilworth, New Jersey, reports 405 members, $3.6M in total assets, and $2.9M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #14172 (peer group $2M–$10M, a cohort of 566 similarly-sized institutions).
On loan book quality: 0.56% of loans are 60+ days past due against the total loan book - the peer group average for $2M–$10M credit unions sits at 1.809%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. Meanwhile a 126.84% loan-to-share ratio shows how aggressively member deposits get deployed into lending, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at 1.11% on net income of $39K 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 -2.64%. All of the above reflects the 2025Q4 quarterly NCUA 5300 Call Report. Who can join depends on the field of membership (currently: Community); our disclaimer covers NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data responsibly.
