Florida Credit Unions Show Mixed Q3 Performance with Strong Loan Growth Offset by Membership Declines and Profitability Pressures

Florida's 112 credit unions delivered mixed results in Q3 2025, with loan growth accelerating to 3.04% from 2.92% quarter-over-quarter, significantly outpacing the national 0.20% rate. However, member growth decelerated to -0.23% from -0.04% QoQ, though remaining above the national -0.61%. ROA decreased to 0.64% from 0.70% QoQ but improved from 0.58% year-over-year. Risk metrics remained stable with delinquencies at 0.56%, well below national levels. Portfolio shifts toward certificates and mortgages suggest defensive positioning amid rate pressures.
