What This Data Says About Waialua

Headquartered in Waialua, Hawaii, Waialua is a federal credit union with 2,973 members, $46.7M in total assets, and $18.8M in outstanding loans on the books as of Q4 2025. Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 83/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 17.70% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #2049 and reports within peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions.

0.14% of the loan book sits 60+ days past due, the headline loan-quality read - the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. Deposit deployment is captured by the 49.03% loan-to-share ratio, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.23% on net income of $109K 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 -1.20%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence. The stated field of membership (currently: Community) governs who can join. Before opening an account or borrowing, see our disclaimer for NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data.
