What This Data Says About New Life
The five-factor composite scores New Life at 59/100 (Fair), reflecting a net worth ratio of 25.61% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, reports 539 members, $778K in total assets, and $70K in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #24853 (peer group Under $2M, a cohort of 243 similarly-sized institutions).
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 21.05% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for Under $2M credit unions sits at 4.477%, so this institution is running looser than peers - and a 12.03% loan-to-share ratio, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 2.29% on net income of $18K 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 -1.28%. 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.
