COMMUNITY FIRST reports a return on assets (ROA) of 1.31%, which is above the national bank average of 1.21%. Note: credit union ROA is not directly comparable to bank ROA because credit unions operate as not-for-profits and typically aim for modest surpluses rather than maximizing returns. A lower ROA at a credit union does not necessarily indicate weaker financial health (Source: NCUA Quarterly Call Report).
All deposits at COMMUNITY FIRST are insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), administered by the NCUA. This provides the same level of protection as FDIC insurance at banks.
Member Experience
COMMUNITY FIRST serves 164,558 members. As a cooperative, each member has an equal ownership stake and voting rights regardless of account balance. This governance structure means the institution's priorities are set by members rather than external investors.
Total shares and deposits held at COMMUNITY FIRST are $5.51B. At credit unions, deposit accounts are technically "share accounts" because each deposit represents an ownership share in the cooperative.
