Loans: Credit unions originated $351B in loans during 2013, surpassing the record volume in 2012 by 6.2%. Key drivers of this increase were strong mortgage originations and higher consumer loan originations versus 2012.

Checking: Members opened nearly 2.4M checking accounts during the past 12 months, indicating continued growth in primary financial relationships.

Asset Quality: Delinquency improved significantly from 2012 as it declined 15 basis points to 1.01% as of the end of 2012.
The Bottom Line: Revenue declined from 2012 due to lower interest income, playing a part in a 4.4% decrease in net income after stabilization expenses.
