The credit union operates under charter #3337 in peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions.

Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 6.89% 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. The loan-to-share ratio of 28.17% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.07% on net income of $7K 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 -3.04%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence. The stated field of membership (currently: Low Income) governs who can join.
