What This Data Says About Suffolk
Charter #17914, peer group Over $500M, a cohort of 749 similarly-sized institutions: that's Suffolk, a federal credit union in Medford, New York with 77,768 members, $2.03B in total assets, and $1.37B in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 95/100 (Excellent), helped by a net worth ratio of 8.50% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 0.53% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding - the peer group average for Over $500M credit unions sits at 0.874%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 76.82% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 0.60% on net income of $12.1M 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 4.44%. All of the above reflects the 2025Q4 quarterly NCUA 5300 Call Report. Who can join depends on the field of membership (currently: Community); our disclaimer covers NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data responsibly.
