Strategic Implications
- • Accelerating member growth positions Nevada credit unions well for sustained expansion despite broader industry membership declines.
- • Rising delinquencies require enhanced credit monitoring and risk management protocols to maintain competitive asset quality.
- • NIM underperformance versus national benchmarks suggests opportunities for pricing optimization and funding cost management.
- • Strong growth rates above national levels indicate effective market positioning but may require capital planning for continued expansion.
- • Portfolio diversification toward first mortgages reduces indirect auto concentration while maintaining above-average certificate funding stability.
