What This Data Says About Credit Unions in District of Columbia
District of Columbia is home to 29 federally-insured credit unions collectively serving 321K members with $11.8B in combined assets, based on the most recent NCUA 5300 Call Report (Q4 2025). The state's average health score of 72/100 reflects the blended performance of every charter operating within its borders, state-chartered, federally-chartered, community, employer-based, and multi-SEG credit unions alike. Idb Global of WASHINGTON currently leads the cohort with a health score of 97/100, while the full distribution spans 29 institutions ranked below.
The health distribution breaks into four bands: 12 credit unions score 80–100 (Excellent), 11 score 60–79 (Good), 4 score 40–59 (Fair), and 2 fall below 40 (Weak). These scores are a weighted composite of five NCUA-reported metrics: net worth ratio (30%), delinquency rate (25%), return on assets (15%), year-over-year member growth (15%), and loan-to-share ratio (15%). A score in the Excellent band typically indicates a net worth ratio comfortably above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" floor, sub-1% delinquency, positive ROA, and a loan-to-share ratio inside the 60–80% balanced-liquidity window. Fair and Weak institutions are not necessarily in distress, NCUA supervises all federally-insured credit unions through CAMEL ratings and Prompt Corrective Action triggers, but the composite signals where financial buffers are thinner than peers.
Every credit union on this page carries NCUSIF deposit insurance up to $250,000 per depositor per ownership category, administered by the National Credit Union Administration, identical coverage to FDIC insurance at banks. Membership eligibility varies by charter: community charters serve anyone living, working, worshiping, or attending school in a defined geography, while employer-based and associational charters require a specific common bond. Rates, fees, and product offerings also vary widely across District of Columbia's 29 institutions, so prospective members should verify current terms directly with each credit union before opening accounts or applying for loans.

Are credit unions safer than banks?
Credit unions are federally insured by the NCUA (National Credit Union Administration) up to $250,000 per account, the same insurance limit as FDIC-insured banks. Credit unions are member-owned nonprofits, which means profits are returned to members as lower fees and better rates rather than to shareholders. Both institution types offer equivalent deposit protection.
