Government-backed lending unusual for a credit union
Of its loans, 5.7% were FHA (insured by the Federal Housing Administration), 2.3% VA (guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs) and 1.2% RHS (guaranteed by the Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service). Similar lenders (credit unions making between half and twice as many loans) typically made none, so its conventional share, 90.8%, is lower than nearly all of them.
