PITTSFIELD, Mass.–During its annual meeting here Greylock Credit Union released its annual report which reports the CU closed 2024 with net income of $4.7 million and assets exceeding $1.6 billion.
“Our regulatory capital ratio increased from 12.14% to 12.21%, well above the level considered well-capitalized by our regulators. This leaves us in a very healthy capital position,” CFO Michael A. King said in a statement.
King reported loan growth of $16 million, or 1.3%, during 2024. This growth was reflected across nearly every major loan category, as total loan balances grew to over $1.3 billion. On the funding side, deposit balances declined by 0.1%. At the end of 2024, Greylock deposit balances equaled $1.4 billion.
“As we look ahead into 2025, our capital, liquidity, and loan quality are at very strong levels. Our balance sheet is well-positioned to manage various potential interest rate environments and economic scenarios,” added King. “We continue to actively manage expenses and regularly seek opportunities to provide excellent member services for both the present and long-term.”
President and CEO John L. Bissell noted that the Annual Meeting marked an opportunity to reflect on the strides made in 2024.
