The Project Zip Code political program matches credit union members to congressional districts and states without sharing any specific member information. Designed by Legislative Demographic Services (LDS), PZC offers a new resource for leagues and credit unions that will match credit union members to their Federal and State Legislators. The program offers the following advantages to member organizations:
- Maintains the security and privacy of member data. There will be no transfer of any data components to CUNA or LDS for the purpose of matching. All data will remain on the participant's network.
- Activated through an Internet connection that provides CUNA and leagues with summary reports of membership strength by state and federal legislative districts.
- Allows search and selection of members by legislative district, legislative committee and also prepare standard reports.
- Can prepare selected records for use by word processing and other database products.
 With your help, credit unions, Leagues and CUNA will be able to draw on Project Zip Code to influence state and federal lawmakers on critical credit union legislation.
"With bankers poised in many states to attack credit unions' tax exemption and operations, this tool can be invaluable in identifying credit union members in every legislative district in your state," recommends CUNA Political Programs Director Pat Raymond. "Those numbers can be powerfully persuasive. Don't wait until the bankers begin a battle in your state to get the program up and running."
In addition to matching members' zip codes with state and federal legislative districts, the Project Zip Code CD can also be used to plan future branches, ATMs and other service facilities.
