CAMEL Rating System
The CAMEL ratings system is a method of evaluating the health of credit unions by the National Credit Union Administration(NCUA). The rating, adopted by the NCUA in 1987, is based upon five critical elements of a credit union's operations:
The components of a bank's condition that are assessed:
- (C)apital adequacy
- (A)sset quality
- (M)anagement Capability
- (E)arnings
- (L)iquidity (Asset liability management)
Ratings are given from 1 (best) to 5 (worse) in each of the above categories.
This rating system is designed to take into account and reflect all significant financial and operational factors examiners assess in their evaluation of a credit union's performance. Credit unions are rated using a combination of financial ratios and examiner judgment.
