Strategic Implications
- • Rising delinquencies despite strong profitability suggest need for enhanced credit monitoring and risk management protocols.
- • Negative member growth trends require focused retention strategies and improved member value propositions to reverse attrition.
- • Strong NIM expansion provides opportunity to invest in growth initiatives while maintaining competitive pricing advantages.
- • Portfolio shift toward mortgages and certificates indicates strategic repositioning toward lower-risk, relationship-based products.
- • Above-average ROA performance creates capital generation capacity to weather potential credit cycle deterioration.
