20,142 members and $357.3M in total assets sit behind Monterey, a federal credit union in MONTEREY, California, which posts a health score of 77/100 (Very Good) on the five-factor composite, with $254.5M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 and a net worth ratio of 8.90% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. The credit union operates under charter #97071 in peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 1.06% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $100M–$500M credit unions sits at 0.894%, so this institution is running looser than peers - and a 81.31% loan-to-share ratio, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at -0.89% on net income of $-3186871 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 9.40%. All of the above reflects the 2025Q4 quarterly NCUA 5300 Call Report. Who can join depends on the field of membership (currently: Other); our disclaimer covers NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data responsibly.
