Executive Summary
This report modeled nearly 40 years of data to identify the key factors most closely associated with failures, why credit unions outperformed banks in this area, and what we can learn to prevent future failures. We review credit unions and banks across asset size ranges and time periods to identify lessons learned and potential predictive tools.
