Headquartered in MENA, Arkansas, Usem Mena is a federal credit union with 393 members, $1.6M in total assets, and $1.2M in outstanding loans on the books as of Q4 2025. Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 79/100 (Very Good), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 30.82% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #18343 and reports within peer group Under $2M, a cohort of 243 similarly-sized institutions.
Deposits deployed into lending sit at a 111.54% loan-to-share ratio, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Loan quality, meanwhile, shows 0.12% of the book 60+ days past due - the peer group average for Under $2M credit unions sits at 4.477%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. Return on assets stands at 1.25% on net income of $20K 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.
