What This Data Says About Winthrop Area
Charter #2301, peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions: that's Winthrop Area, a federal credit union in WINTHROP, Maine with 7,942 members, $103.3M in total assets, and $56.4M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 94/100 (Excellent), helped by a net worth ratio of 10.24% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 0.11% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $100M–$500M credit unions sits at 0.894%, so this institution is running tighter than peers - and a 62.06% loan-to-share ratio, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 0.96% on net income of $987K 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 1.12%. 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.
