Wichita Federal Credit Union reported increased loans, assets and deposits for 2018, but net income at the $108 million-asset institution slipped.
According to the Wichita, Kan.-based credit union’s 2018 annual report, between year-end 2017 and year-end 2018, total assets increased from $104.57 million to $108.38 million; loan volume climbed from $78.84 million to $94.18 million; and deposits rose from $87.60 million to $89.75 million
Meanwhile, the credit union’s net income declined about 10.9 percent from $1.29 million to $1.15 million, although expenses climbed from $5.81 million to $6.90 million over that period. (Among expenses, employee compensation and benefits alone increased from $2.49 million to $3.00 million)
In a letter to members, board Chairman Gavin Seiler noted that in 2018 the credit union had a net worth ratio of 16.39 percent (up from 15.89 percent in the prior year).
