How to read Members First Credit Union. These figures are aggregate HMDA disclosures for this lender's 2024 book, not any one file. Rates reflect applicant mix (credit, LTV, DTI, geography) as much as underwriting posture. Informational data reporting, not financial, legal, or mortgage advice.

Why borrowers applied
Purchase, refinance and cash-out are reported as distinct purposes; average loan size usually separates them more sharply than volume does.
| Purpose | Applications | Originated | Avg Loan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Other | 222 | 143 | $64,009 |
| Home Purchase | 87 | 52 | $146,034 |
| Cash-out Refinancing | 50 | 24 | $102,800 |
| Home Improvement | 48 | 16 | $62,292 |
| Refinancing | 15 | 6 | $90,333 |
Reported outcomes by applicant race
CFPB derived race categories. HMDA carries no credit score, debt-to-income ratio or down payment, so a gap between these rows is an outcome difference and never, on its own, evidence of discrimination.
| Race | Applications | Approval Rate | Denial Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| White | 391 | 58.3% | 23.3% |
| Black or African American * | 6 | 50.0% | 33.3% |
| Joint * | 5 | 60.0% | 0.0% |
| Asian * | 1 | 100.0% | 0.0% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
Reported outcomes by applicant ethnicity
Hispanic or Latino is an ethnicity, not a race, and is reported separately per U.S. Census Bureau standards. The same limitation applies: HMDA records the outcome, not the underwriting inputs behind it.
| Ethnicity | Applications | Approval Rate | Denial Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not Hispanic or Latino | 384 | 57.8% | 24.0% |
| Joint * | 12 | 75.0% | 0.0% |
| Hispanic or Latino * | 8 | 50.0% | 25.0% |
* Fewer than 50 applications -- percentages for this group have wide statistical uncertainty and should not be read as precise.
