Centra’s deposit balances grew to $810.8 million, representing 7.93% growth over prior year. Additionally, loan balances grew to $497.8 million.

 “With the growth we have experienced and a strong .87% Return on Assets, Centra continues to demonstrate solid financial performance,” said Loretta M. Burd, Centra Credit Union’s president and chief executive officer. “Like most businesses, Centra has been challenged by current economic conditions. But our members have continued to show that we provide a real value to them.”

This is the 64th consecutive quarter that Centra Credit Union has merited this highest honor.
