Pelican Credit Union Data Breach Investigation

Recently, Pelican CU announced that it had experienced a data breach in which sensitive personal identifiable information in its care may have been compromised. According to the breach notice shared on its website, in August 2025, Marquis Software Solutions (“Marquis”), a third-party software and services provider for Pelican CU, informed Pelican CU of a network outage that it later identified as a data security incident on its network.¹ As a result, Marquis launched an investigation to determine the nature of the incident.

Through its investigation, Marquis confirmed to Pelican CU that sensitive personal information in its systems related to Pelican CU members may have been accessed and acquired by an unauthorized third party during the breach. As a result, Pelican CU began a review of the data to determine what information had been impacted as well as identify the specific individuals affected. While the information impacted varies depending on the individual, the type of information potentially exposed includes:

• Name
• Social Security number
• Date of birth
• Tax identification number
• Financial account number
• Payment card data

As a result of the breach, Pelican CU posted notice of the breach on its website. Additionally, Marquis has begun mailing data breach notification letters to impacted individuals. Based on the website breach notice, Pelican CU and Marquis are providing affected individuals with a list of the specific types of sensitive information impacted and complimentary credit monitoring services.
