ZIP code 20434 preserves the postal identity of the Resolution Trust Corporation, a temporary federal agency that operated from 1989 to 1995 during the savings and loan crisis. Created by Congress through FIRREA on August 9, 1989, the RTC resolved 747 failed thrift institutions holding $394 billion in assets. The agency pioneered commercial mortgage-backed securities and achieved an 87% asset recovery rate before its termination on December 31, 1995.
This unique postal designation has persisted in USPS records since the RTC's dissolution. The agency's functions and remaining assets transferred to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, whose building at 17th Street NW in Dupont Circle now receives correspondence for this legacy ZIP code. Postal records identify 2 ZIP+4 codes still routing mail to the FDIC building under this former RTC designation. Washington remains the valid mailing city for this historical artifact of financial regulatory history.
