Lafayette Federal was once again recognized in the S&P Global Market Intelligence Rankings as one of the Top 100 Performing Credit Unions in 2021, moving up the rankings to secure the #12 spot out of more than 1,700 qualified credit unions nationwide. The credit union experienced a phenomenal 53% increase in member growth and an outstanding 9.65% return on average assets (ROAA), driving its position up eight spots from 2020 to 2021.

S&P Global Market Intelligence calculated scores for each company based on five metrics: member growth; total number of loans, net of number of Paycheck Protection Program loans, per member; net worth as a percentage of total assets; delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans, net of PPP loans; and return on average assets. Criteria for the rankings included credit unions with more than $100 million in total assets, net of PPP loans, and a net worth ratio of at least 7% as of Dec. 31, 2021.
