Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 89/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 12.44% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #7238 and reports within peer group Over $500M, a cohort of 749 similarly-sized institutions.
Deposits deployed into lending sit at a 72.31% loan-to-share ratio, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Loan quality, meanwhile, shows 1.21% of the book 60+ days past due - the peer group average for Over $500M credit unions sits at 0.874%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Return on assets stands at 0.52% on net income of $10.1M 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 1.29%. 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: Multiple Common Bond).
