Credit union communications are moving to an electronic format. Not only is it more environmentally friendly and convenient for the member, but it also reduces expenses. Essentially, any communication that is not regulated to be sent as physical mail is now being considered for email delivery.

This type of contact data is also similar to a physical mailing address because it is dynamic and changes on a regular basis.

Contacts often have multiple addresses for business and personal use and those addresses can change frequently based on employment, security and life events.
