New data from the National Credit Union Administration offers a clearer picture of how the industry is being affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

The agency’s quarterly credit unions summary for the second quarter, released last week, offers more complete insights into the performance of credit unions since the COVID-19 outbreak overtook the nation.

The second quarter data covers a period when much of the country was in lockdown, many nonessential businesses were closed, and consumer spending was down significantly.
