4 Emerging Patterns Influencing the Credit Union Industry

Pattern #2 - Return on Average Assets (ROAA)

Credit unions, historically known for their stability, lag behind the broader industry in terms of Return on Average Assets by nearly half. This intriguing trend serves as a testament to the steadiness that credit unions have consistently exhibited.

Pattern #3 - Delinquencies and Consumer Behavior

While delinquencies are on the rise across the entire financial sector, credit unions are experiencing a more pronounced uptick. This raises an interesting question: are consumers intentionally delaying payments to credit unions, prioritizing other financial institutions over them?

Pattern #4 - Loan and Lease Growth

The growth of loans and leases in credit unions is maintaining pace with that of banks. This suggests that credit unions are remaining competitive in the lending sphere, indicating their potential for continued growth and prosperity.
