We need our members of Congress to support the Data Security Act of 2015, S. 961, and the companion House bill, H.R. 2205.

We know that as credit union employees and volunteers, you understand the impact of the data breaches at large retailers like Target, Home Depot and Michaels. These breaches have been costly to your credit union and frustrating for your members.

We are writing to share that newly introduced bills in each chamber of Congress will hold merchants accountable when they are responsible for a breach of consumer data. We need our members of Congress to support the Data Security Act of 2015, S. 961, and the companion House bill, H.R. 2205.

These bills strengthen merchant security standards to be comparable with those of credit unions and mandate a federal notification requirement for merchants when breaches occur. Additionally, each bill provides a floor for data security standards nationwide and also includes the important provision to exclude financial institutions from the requirements as they are already subject to rigorous standards under the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA).

NCOFCU is working with Credit Union Leagues to make sure our members of Congress understand just how important this issue is to credit unions and our members.

Please take a moment through links below to send an email today to your members of Congress. The email addresses and a pre-written message are provided through the CUNA’s Grassroots Action Center. There is a sign in process so that the correct Representative is selected. The process is easy and will just take a few minutes.
