The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) has released its second-quarter 2024 financial performance data for federally insured credit unions. The report indicates a rise in total assets by $79 billion, or 3.5 percent, reaching $2.3 trillion over the year ending in the second quarter of 2024. The delinquency rate increased to 84 basis points, up 21 basis points from the same period in 2023. Net income for the first half of 2024 totaled $15.7 billion annually, a decrease of $1.8 billion or 10.1 percent from the previous year.
“The credit union system overall remains largely stable in its performance and is relatively resilient against potential economic disruptions. However, challenges persist across the system and at specific institutions,” said Chairman Todd M. Harper. “Notably, an increasing segment of credit union membership continues to experience financial strain as evidenced by a steady increase in the loan delinquency rate, charge-offs, and borrowing using the NCUA’s payday alternative loan product. While interest rate and liquidity risks have ebbed recently, we are seeing growing signs of concern in loan performance, capital, and earnings as deposit levels have dropped. Credit union managers must continue to monitor their institution’s performance and balance sheets and act expeditiously to prevent small anomalies from growing into big problems.”
