Methodology

This card ranks credit unions whose auto-loan exposure is both elevated and growing. The underlying NCUA series reports all dealer-originated ("indirect") lending — mostly auto in practice (~78% of indirect-lending volume per NCUA FS220P Q4 2025; the rest is dealer-originated residential mortgage, commercial and other lending). Concentration is indirect lending (ACCT_618A) ÷ total loans (ACCT_025B). A credit union qualifies when concentration is above 0.25 (more than 25% of total loans) AND rose at least 0.005 quarter-over-quarter (a 0.5 percentage-point rise on the prior quarter). Sibling to the Auto NPL Trend card, which uses the same NCUA indirect-lending series but ranks on delinquency (ACCT_041E aggregate ÷ ACCT_618A) rather than concentration. Sorted by quarter-over-quarter change, largest first. Credit unions only (NCUA 5300); banks do not report dealer-originated auto lending separately in FDIC BankFind financial data.
