In a case where the credit union decided that member account numbers had been seriously compromised and wanted to do a conversion of account numbers assigning each member a new account number, CU*Answers would have to bid the process as a custom conversion. There are no current standing processes related to assigning new account numbers to 100% of a credit union's CU*BASE membership. While the conversion of the “go-forward” new member account numbers would be relatively simple, the actual conversion of past information (i.e. transactions, statements, reports, third party interfaces, etc) would be extremely burdensome and quite expensive for a credit union both in hard project dollars and in soft ongoing support cost (i.e. communication to members). Before the project could even be considered an in-depth RFP would have to be developed by the credit union with CU*Answers' help. The research to develop the RFP and the pursuing custom bid would be a direct expense to the credit union with an estimate of at least 100 hours of billable time.
