What This Data Says About Pennstar
Charter #13760, peer group $50M–$100M, a cohort of 584 similarly-sized institutions: that's Pennstar, a federal credit union in Hermitage, Pennsylvania with 4,053 members, $56.1M in total assets, and $18.2M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 81/100 (Excellent), helped by a net worth ratio of 15.95% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 1.09% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $50M–$100M credit unions sits at 0.963%, so this institution is running looser than peers - and a 38.68% loan-to-share ratio, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.52% on net income of $293K 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 -1.05%. The institution reports against the NCUA 5300 Call Report on a quarterly cadence; the figures above reflect the 2025Q4 reporting period. Membership eligibility depends on the stated field of membership (currently: Community).
