How this list was built

The universe is every federal credit union and federally insured state-chartered credit union in the NCUA's quarterly Call Report data for June 30, 2026. Credit unions are ranked by total assets as reported; members, shares and deposits, and loans and leases are from the same report.

The NCUA separately publishes a Quarterly Credit Union Data Summary from the same filings. This list reproduces it: 4,214 credit unions, and the same total assets and membership to the rounding the summary prints.

Limits

  • Federally insured only. A small number of state-chartered credit unions are privately insured; the NCUA's totals leave them out, and so does this list.
  • One publisher. No other source publishes credit union financials one by one, so the check is against the NCUA's own summary rather than a second publisher.
  • One quarter. The date of the data is June 30, 2026. A merger can move a credit union up the list between filings.
  • Assets are one measure of size. Members and deposits are shown so a credit union with a large balance sheet can be told apart from one with a large membership.
