What This Data Says About Niagara-wheatfield
Charter #14040, peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions: that's Niagara-wheatfield, a federal credit union in SANBORN, New York with 1,837 members, $21.3M in total assets, and $10.1M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 77/100 (Very Good), helped by a net worth ratio of 10.37% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 1.96% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, so this institution is running looser than peers - and a 53.22% loan-to-share ratio, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.63% on net income of $135K 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 -0.65%. Reported quarterly to the NCUA, this data reflects the 2025Q4 Call Report period. Eligibility to join runs through the field of membership (currently: Other/Community) - see our disclaimer before opening an account or borrowing, for NCUSIF coverage details and data usage notes.
