What we don't know

  • Whether it is taking new loans today, or on what terms.
  • Who can join. A credit union lends only to its members, and field of membership decides who qualifies.
  • Whether it makes multifamily loans. No HMDA multifamily loans are on file under this name for 2024 or 2025.
  • Whether it takes brokers. No figure here means no evidence, not a refusal.
  • Credit union concentration ratios here are our own calculation against net worth. They are not a regulatory test or limit. Originations are Jan-Jun 2026 year to date.
