Forty-two years of trusted operating experience.
Founded in 1984, still owned by the same family
Business Data Inc. was founded in November 1984 in Inglewood, California, with one mission: to be the long-term operating partner credit unions and community banks rely on for member communications. Forty-two years later, we are still owned by the founding family, still headquartered in Inglewood, and still focused on the same buyers.
What has changed is the technology. The 1984 founding workflow was paper-based and manual. Today, BDI runs a modern statement processing platform with direct core banking integrations, eStatement delivery, secure archive, and an operations team that monitors every cycle in real time.
The continuity matters. When you sign a contract with BDI, the same family that signed it in 1984 still answers for the work.

What we believe
Partnership over transaction. A statement vendor that runs cycles for 10 years should know more about your member communications than you do. BDI is structured around the long arc. Named account teams, multi-year retention, and a real investment in understanding how each client institution operates.
Compliance is a starting point, not a finish line. SOC 2 Type II audit and GLBA-aligned controls are baseline expectations. The interesting work happens above the compliance line. It shows up in how the production team catches a misformatted data file before it hits print, or how a small change to envelope design saves a member confusion.
Member experience is the product. A member who opens their statement and trusts what they see, on whatever channel, is the actual deliverable. Everything else (production capacity, cycle speed, postage savings) exists to serve that.
Forty-two years and counting.
