Pomona Postal FCU’s financial performance reports show losses since 2018 and drops in loans and members.
The $4.2 million Pomona Postal Federal Credit Union in Pomona, Calif., which has been losing money since 2018, was conserved by the NCUA, the federal agency said Friday.
The NCUA issued a media release and other information, showing the agency took possession and control of the insured credit union to conserve its assets, protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, and resolve operational problems that could affect the credit union’s safety and soundness.
Zenaida M. Dizon had been the president/CEO of the California credit union from at least June 2012, according to its profile reports filed with the NCUA. Since that time, the credit union showed no losses until 2018 when Pomona Postal recorded a net loss of $94,208. The credit union’s losses continued into 2019 at $468,336 and $25,021 at the end of last year, according to NCUA financial performance reports.
During the first quarter of 2021, the credit union posted a net loss of $6,194, but had net gains of $20,936 and $14,897 in the second and third quarters, respectively, NCUA financial performance reports showed.
From 2016 to the end of the third quarter of 2021, Pomona Postal saw some sharp declines in loans, members and net worth. At the end of the third quarter, the credit union’s net worth was 6.86%, down from 17% in 2016, according to the NCUA’s financial performance reports.
Member services will continue uninterrupted at the credit union’s office at 437 West Center St. during the conservatorship. The NCUA said it has made no decisions about the long-term future of the credit union.
Chartered in 1964, the credit union serves 717 members.
Additional information about the conservatorship is available on the NCUA ‘s website. In addition, members with questions about Pomona Postal’s operations may contact the credit union at 909-629-3415.
Including Pomona Postal, the NCUA has conserved five credit unions so far this year.
