Financial Health History

North Central Area Credit Union’s Texas Ratio rose from 0.63% in Q2 2023 to 5.21% in Q1 2026, so its financial health has weakened over the past 12 quarters.

Lower Texas Ratios are healthier; the green zone below the amber 15% line is where a credit union must stay to qualify for the MBR Verified Healthy badge.

How to read this chart: the two lines move in opposite directions by design. The Texas Ratio (blue) measures trouble, so a rising blue line means more non-performing assets against capital. The Star Rating (green) and Health Grade chips measure strength, so they fall when the Texas Ratio climbs and recover when it drops.
