Financial Health History

Sound Credit Union’s Texas Ratio rose from 1.85% in Q2 2023 to 10.92% in Q1 2026, so its financial health has weakened over the past 12 quarters. Over the same period its Star Rating moved from 5.0 to 5.0 and its Health Grade from A+ to A. Lower Texas Ratios are healthier; the amber line marks the 15% level a credit union must stay under to qualify for the MBR Verified Healthy badge. Hover over or tap a point for that quarter’s figures.

How to read this chart: the two lines move in opposite directions by design. The Texas Ratio (blue) measures trouble, so a rising blue line means more non-performing assets against capital. The Star Rating (green) and Health Grade chips measure strength, so they fall when the Texas Ratio climbs and recover when it drops.

Texas Ratio
We calculate the Texas Ratio using standard industry methodology. This ratio compares the credit union's non-performing assets to its tangible common equity and loan loss reserves to assess financial health.
