Employees, a state credit union in Chicago, Illinois with 5,957 members, $101.7M in total assets, and $27.5M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 78/100 (Very Good), helped by a net worth ratio of 12.85% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
On loan book quality: 0.54% of loans are 60+ days past due against the total loan book - the peer group average for $100M–$500M credit unions sits at 0.894%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. Meanwhile a 31.19% loan-to-share ratio shows how aggressively member deposits get deployed into lending, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.68% on net income of $693K 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 -8.21%. All of the above reflects the 2025Q4 quarterly NCUA 5300 Call Report. Who can join depends on the field of membership (currently: Other); our disclaimer covers NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data responsibly.
