What This Data Says About Novo
Charter #15784, peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions: that's Novo, a federal credit union in Norco, California with 2,290 members, $19.8M in total assets, and $12.9M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 97/100 (Excellent), helped by a net worth ratio of 13.60% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 0.38% 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 tighter than peers - and a 77.49% loan-to-share ratio, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 1.90% on net income of $377K 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 2.19%. Reported quarterly to the NCUA, this data reflects the 2025Q4 Call Report period. Eligibility to join runs through the field of membership (currently: Multiple Common Bond) - see our disclaimer before opening an account or borrowing, for NCUSIF coverage details and data usage notes.
