What This Data Says About Pine Belt
Headquartered in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Pine Belt is a federal credit union with 1,569 members, $13.2M in total assets, and $9.3M in outstanding loans on the books as of Q4 2025. Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 80/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 28.50% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #4799 and reports within peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 0.88% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding - the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 98.76% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at 0.04% on net income of $5K 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 1.88%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence. The stated field of membership (currently: Community) governs who can join. Before opening an account or borrowing, see our disclaimer for NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data.
