The size of U.S. credit unions
Credit unions play an important role for consumer banking in the United States, as around one third of the country’s population has a credit union membership. The number of credit unions decreased each year since 2013, but the total assets of credit unions increased annually during the same period. This can be explained by the growing number of credit unions that manage assets of over one billion U.S. dollars. The value of credit union assets was around 2.17 trillion U.S. dollars at the end of 2022.
