What should I keep in mind when I have existing 1Click offers (since data from the Product Configuration is used when making the offer)?

Does the 1Click Offers feature support the requirements of the Military Lending Act (MLA)?
No, the 1Click Offers feature does not specifically support MLA requirements. MLA grants a number of protections for active duty service people and imposes specific requirements on the credit union in granting credit. At the heart of the matter is the calculation of the Military Annual Rate (MAPR) and the disclosures required prior to or at the time of extension of credit. The act requires that a unique APR be calculated incorporating things such as fees and credit life or disability. The MAPR More...

I am interested in using the 1Click Offers feature that allows me to make loan offers to members in online banking. I also hear that these offers (if not taken) are purged monthly. When does this purge happen?
1Click Offers are purged monthly on the 2 nd Saturday of the month. If the 1Click offer is older than 30 days old at the time of the purge, it is purged. This means that 1Click offers may not be purged for a longer period if they are not over 30 days old at the time of the purge.

Is there a way for me to preview my 1Click Offer prior to sending it to my membership?
Before you run your batch flood to your membership, it is important to run a test offer. This is done in a similar manner as defining your offer, but instead of running the offer for a batch of members, make the Query for just a single employee account or a group of employees. Sending a test offer helps to ensure that all key data elements are correct. When verifying your test offer, we recommend verifying the items below and any others you feel are key data points. Interest Rate Loan Amount Ter More...

Do you have an explanation for members concerning the APYE calculation on their statement?
Truth-In-Savings requires certain disclosures on periodic statements. One of the disclosures required on dividend-bearing accounts is the “annual percentage yield earned (APYE)”. The APYE is an annualized rate that reflects the relationship between the amount of dividends actually paid to the member’s account during the period and the average daily balance in the account for that period. *Note - this calculation uses the member’s average daily balance for the period, More...

What is the difference between Annual Percentage Yield (APY) and the Annual Percentage Yield Earned (APYE)?
The APY calculates the annualized rate for a savings product and adjusts for compounding. It assumes a balance of $1,000 for a 12-month term. It also assumes no withdrawals are made during the 12 month term. Truth-In-Savings (TIS) regulations require this disclosure to help people compare savings products, apples to apples, across multiple financial institutions. The APYE calculation is also required by TIS, and can be reported to members via their statement. It is the annualized rate that ta More...

Why does the APY quoted using the CU*BASE APY calculator not match the APY printed on the actual TIS form for a member's certificate?
Because the APY calculator on CU*BASE uses the Minimum Balance configured for that CD Product to perform the calculation. It does not know the member's certificate balance and term. The TIS form calculation is based on the ACTUAL balance of the CD and it annualizes the CD Term. The variance is within compliance tolerance, usually no more than 0.01%.

Our dividend rates are at an all-time low, and many of our members do not have significant balances in their accounts, therefore not earning any interest. Can you explain how simple interest is calculated?
At the heart of the matter is the calculation and rounding the system uses. As we state in our documentation, we calculate to 8 decimal positions and half round up in the fourth. We warrant this math and it has not changed since 2006. What that means is that the member must have accrued at least 5 ten thousanths of a penny before we will begin accumulating the amount. In the case of a member who has more than the minimum balance to earn a dividend but less than the amount to actually accumul More...
