As of the end of the first quarter, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) reported that over half of all credit unions experienced a year-over-year decline in membership.

Nationally, 53 percent of federally insured credit unions lost membership over the year, and 75 percent of those credit unions with declining membership had assets of less than $50 million.
