If you are conducting a focus group, survey, or plan to employ statistical methods, please
provide answers to the following questions:
The selection of your targeted respondents
1. Do you have a customer list or something similar that defines the universe of potential
respondents and do you have a sampling plan for selecting from this universe?
[X] Yes
[ ] No
If the answer is yes, please provide a description of both below (or attach the sampling plan)? If
the answer is no, please provide a description of how you plan to identify your potential group of
respondents and how you will select them?
To identify the potential pool of credit union respondents, two large industry trade groups
provided a list of interested and willing parties. We plan to select credit unions of
varying asset sizes that use different core data processing vendors. A range of asset sizes
and core vendors will ensure we have a sufficient representation of the populations of
potentially impacted credit unions.
To identify the potential group of vendors, we will select among the most widely used
credit union providers as these would have the largest impact on the industry based on
agency reporting systems and internal knowledge of credit union service providers. The
sample will include a variety of offered product types (loan types, share offerings, and
investment services).
Targeting these groups will ensure we have sufficient representation of the potentially
impacted parties in the credit union industry.
