What This Data Says About UNITE

UNITE is a state credit union headquartered in Cedar Falls, Iowa, serving 1,575 members with $22.7M in total assets and $9.7M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 59/100 (Fair), anchored by a net worth ratio of 8.05% — above the 7.0% threshold the NCUA uses to classify a credit union as "well capitalized" under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #65071 operates under peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions.

Loan book quality and earnings power round out the picture. The delinquency rate of 1.59% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding — the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, 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 49.06% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital.

Every deposit account at UNITE 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 -1.19%, 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: Other), and current deposit and loan rates should be verified directly with UNITE before opening any account or borrowing.
