The letter displayed members’ names, addresses and account numbers in the clear address panel on the envelope.

In a follow-up letter, the $1 billion credit union apologized, saying there's "no indication this information can lead to other accounts being fraudulently opened in your name."

The credit union said if there is any unauthorized access to accounts members will not be liable. They are advising customers to review their accounts.
