2025-Q4 18 Credit Unions

Wyoming Credit Unions Show Strong Growth Momentum Despite Profitability Pressures and Member Growth Deceleration

Wyoming's 18 credit unions delivered robust growth in Q4 2025, with loan growth accelerating to 4.48% from 1.82% quarter-over-quarter and asset growth reaching 6.07%. However, member growth decelerated dramatically to 0.34% from 8.58% year-over-year, while ROA declined to 1.13% from 1.20% quarterly but remained 40 basis points above national averages. Credit quality improved with delinquencies falling to 0.82%, though still elevated from 0.74% a year ago. Strong balance sheet expansion positions institutions well despite membership challenges.
