Strategic Implications

  • Rising delinquencies amid strong loan growth suggest need for enhanced credit monitoring and underwriting controls
  • Below-benchmark net worth ratios require capital planning as growth continues to outpace capital accumulation
  • Strong efficiency gains create opportunity to invest in technology and member services while maintaining profitability
  • High mortgage concentration increases interest rate risk exposure requiring active asset-liability management
  • Exceptional member growth performance positions cohort well for market share expansion despite recent deceleration
