Even in the face of economic challenges, Hughes Federal Credit Union ended 2021 by surpassing its financial goals. Total member savings or deposits equaled $1,749,888,952.28, an increase of 17 percent over the previous year with credit union assets totaling $1,946,290,060.30, an increase of 17.79 percent compared to total assets at yearend 2020.

Hughes also saw an 11.64 percent increase in membership with 166,623 members, a net increase of 17,375 members over the previous year. Total loans to members also increased by 18.34 percent in 2021.

“Our membership growth, loan growth, return on net assets, and net income growth numbers rank at the top in our state for a credit union our size. We accomplished this while also reducing our loan risk. Hughes is a strong and stable credit union making a positive difference in the financial lives of our members,” says Board Chairman Juan F. Gonzalez. 

Hughes also announced the results of their 2022 Board of Directors election. Ashesh Bhalala, Robert Swick and Charles La Due, were elected to the 2022 volunteer Board of Directors for three-year terms.
