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.
