What This Data Says About SOUTHWEST FINANCIAL
SOUTHWEST FINANCIAL is a federal credit union headquartered in Farmers Branch, Texas, serving 7,573 members with $86.5M in total assets and $73.8M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 50/100 (Fair), anchored by a net worth ratio of 14.74% — above the 7.0% threshold the NCUA uses to classify a credit union as "well capitalized" under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #15327 operates under peer group $50M–$100M, a cohort of 584 similarly-sized institutions.
Loan book quality and earnings power round out the picture. The delinquency rate of 1.77% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding — the peer group average for $50M–$100M credit unions sits at 0.963%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Return on assets comes in at 0.00%, reflecting the not-for-profit cooperative model where surplus earnings flow back to members as better rates and lower fees rather than to shareholders. The loan-to-share ratio of 101.20% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management.
Every deposit account at SOUTHWEST FINANCIAL is federally insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) up to $250,000 per depositor, per ownership category — identical coverage to FDIC insurance at banks. Year-over-year membership changed by -8.52%, and the institution reports against the NCUA 5300 Call Report on a quarterly cadence, so the figures above reflect the 2025Q4 reporting period. This page is informational only and is not a recommendation, solicitation, or financial advice; credit union performance can change materially quarter to quarter, membership eligibility depends on the stated field of membership (currently: Community), and current deposit and loan rates should be verified directly with SOUTHWEST FINANCIAL before opening any account or borrowing.
