Key ratios are relatively unimportant in isolation. Board members should monitor trends (e.g., ratio this month compared to same month last year) & compare your ratios to peer averages or another type of benchmark (i.e., ratio compared to other credit unions with similar characteristics).
The following 8 key ratios will give you a very good picture of your credit union’s performance.

Net Economic Value

Capital/Assets Ratio

Return on Assets (ROA)

Loan to Share Ratio

Net Expense to Assets Ratio

Delinquency Ratio

Loan Charge-off Ratio

Checking Accounts to Members Ratio
