What This Data Says About University
The five-factor composite scores University at 96/100 (Excellent), reflecting a net worth ratio of 13.70% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in Grand Forks, North Dakota, reports 3,632 members, $45.0M in total assets, and $26.3M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #1904 (peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions).
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 0.63% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, so this institution is running tighter than peers - and a 67.98% loan-to-share ratio, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 0.88% on net income of $396K 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 2.92%. 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.
