15 Ratios Every Board Member Should Know

Key metrics to evaluate your credit union and bridge the gap between macro trends and micro performance. By Lydia Cole of CreditUnions.com 
In December, the NCUA passed a rule requiring Board members of federally insured credit unions to have a “working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices.” The extent of financial literacy that volunteers must meet varies depending upon each credit union’s complexity, but there are basic concepts, definitions, and formulas every volunteer should know. To that end, CreditUnions.com is breaking down 15 ratios by providing definitions and describing how the ratios affect the balance sheet.

1) 12-Month Loan Growth

Loan growth is the year-over-year change in outstanding loans. These are loans the credit union holds on its books, not the loans it makes over the course of the year. In 2010 credit unions granted $84.5 billion in first mortgage loans. Because of the low-rate environment, many credit unions sold these loans to secondary market vehicles to manage asset-liability risk. As such, these loans do not appear on credit union balance sheets. Advanced Metric: If outstanding shares grow faster than loans, the loan-to-share ratio, a measure of credit union liquidity, decreases. In this circumstance, the credit union has additional shares available to lend if it desires.

 

2) Provision For Loan Losses

This line item is the point for transferring funds to the Allowance for Loan Loss account. As credit unions foresee or experience worsening asset quality.

Mortgage Rates Tick Down

MCLEAN, Va.--Mortgage rates moved slightly lower this week, with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaging 6.56%, Freddie Mac reported. “Mortgage rates are at a 10-month low,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Purchase demand continues to rise on the back of lower rates and solid economic growth. Though many potential homebuyers still face affordability challenges, consistently lower rates may provide them with the impetus to enter the market.” The 30-year FRM averaged 6.56% as of Aug. 28, down from last week when it averaged 6.58%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.35%. The 15-year FRM averaged 5.69%, unchanged from last week. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.51%, Freddie Mac said. ____________________________________________ Check out NCOFCU's additional features: First Responder Credit Union Academy Podcasts YouTube Mini's Blog Job Board

Many CUs Likely to Face New Operating Challenges "Michael Moebs"

04/08/2024 09:04 pm By Ray Birch LAKE FOREST, Ill.—The trend lines don’t lie: Financial institutions charging high overdraft fees will likely face operating challenges in the near future and may even be forced to merge if they don’t follow the market trend of lowering their OD charge.

The study further reveals the m...
