What This Data Says About Nebraska Energy
The five-factor composite scores Nebraska Energy at 83/100 (Excellent), reflecting a net worth ratio of 15.49% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in COLUMBUS, Nebraska, reports 12,211 members, $319.9M in total assets, and $277.1M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #24286 (peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions).
On loan book quality: 0.07% of loans are 60+ days past due against the total loan book - the peer group average for $100M–$500M credit unions sits at 0.894%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. Meanwhile a 107.74% 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 0.83% on net income of $2.7M 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 -1.79%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence. The stated field of membership (currently: Community) governs who can join. Before opening an account or borrowing, see our disclaimer for NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data.
