What This Data Says About Michigan Columbus

Charter #5554, peer group $50M–$100M, a cohort of 584 similarly-sized institutions: that's Michigan Columbus, a federal credit union in Livonia, Michigan with 4,596 members, $73.8M in total assets, and $27.6M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 86/100 (Excellent), helped by a net worth ratio of 10.53% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.

Two more numbers round out the picture: a 0.98% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $50M–$100M credit unions sits at 0.963%, so this institution is running looser than peers - and a 44.56% loan-to-share ratio, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 1.12% on net income of $828K 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 1.50%. Reported quarterly to the NCUA, this data reflects the 2025Q4 Call Report period. Eligibility to join runs through the field of membership (currently: Community) - see our disclaimer before opening an account or borrowing, for NCUSIF coverage details and data usage notes.
