What This Data Says About Sunwest
The five-factor composite scores Sunwest at 80/100 (Excellent), reflecting a net worth ratio of 11.02% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in Glendale, Arizona, reports 43,222 members, $516.5M in total assets, and $333.7M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #2226 (peer group Over $500M, a cohort of 749 similarly-sized institutions).
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 0.55% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for Over $500M credit unions sits at 0.874%, so this institution is running tighter than peers - and a 73.98% loan-to-share ratio, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at -0.06% on net income of $-299483 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 -1.40%. The quarterly NCUA 5300 Call Report is the source for everything above, current through 2025Q4. Field of membership (currently: Community) decides eligibility to join. NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and usage guidance for this data live on our disclaimer page.
