The above graphs attempt to give our visitors a quick reflection into the PARAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION business trends over the past 10 year period. Sometimes a visual chart can tell a story a lot
faster and clearer than just looking at a series of numbers. A quick look at the total loans and
deposits graphs for instance may give you a very good insight into the current state of affairs
for PARAGON FCU . An upward sloping chart for these charts and a rise in membership would seem
to say that this Credit Union is doing something right. Of course you must use your own judgment
in reading the data that we're supplying you with. Disclaimer: The quarterly data we use is
available for viewing at the NCUA website which you can find via our
