Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 88/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 29.28% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #12225 and reports within peer group $2M–$10M, a cohort of 566 similarly-sized institutions.
Deposits deployed into lending sit at a 81.32% loan-to-share ratio, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Loan quality, meanwhile, shows 1.40% of the book 60+ days past due - the peer group average for $2M–$10M credit unions sits at 1.809%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. Return on assets stands at 1.59% on net income of $99K 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.
