March consumer credit figures posted the largest gain in 10 years, but credit unions – as well as commercial banks and financial companies – experienced a reduction in consumer lending, according to a NAFCU release.

Despite a 10.2% increase in total consumer installment credit to a seasonally adjusted $2.5 trillion, credit unions lost $0.8 billion, falling to $223 billion, the NAFCU report released this week said.

Total non-revolving credit increased at an annual rate of 11.3% to $1.74 trillion, while revolving credit increased by 7.7% to $803.6 billion. Comparatively, for credit unions, revolving credit market share decreased to 4.61% during March to $36.4 billion, while non-revolving credit declined to 10.77% to $186.6 billion as of March 31.
