Total loans outstanding in federally insured credit unions increased $235 billion, or 19.2%, over the year ending in the third quarter of 2022, to $1.46 trillion, according to NCUA’s latest financial performance data. Total assets rose by $132 billion, or 6.6%, to $2.15 trillion during the same period.

Also, insured shares and deposits increased $89 billion, or 5.6%, to $1.69 trillion, from one year earlier.
