This view is based on public information, including Seattle Credit Union's quarterly filings with the NCUA (listed as Seattle Metropolitan, NCUA charter 68315), the FDIC's Summary of Deposits and the CDFI Fund's list of certified institutions, as of 30 June 2026. Banks are compared with banks, and credit unions with credit unions. The lending figures show the loans held at the end of the quarter, so loans already sold are not included. This view is separate from the environmental responsibility rating and does not change it. It may be out of date, so please confirm details with the institution.
