  • 1. When an ACH item comes in as an exception and is NSF, the NSF fee is not being charged. Why? Public
    Preview
    This happens when there is an invalid ACH item that can't be posted at all (bad account number, for example). Even if you subsequently update it, when reposting if the item can't pay due to non-sufficient funds, the NSF fee will not automatically be charged. The ACH item will also not show in the member's transaction history. That's because NSF fees are only charged when the item originally comes in, not via the ACH Exceptions re-post feature, to prevent these fees from being   More...
  • 2. Where do the transaction descriptions used for mortgage payments and escrow transfers come from? Can the credit union configure what they say? Public
    Preview
    The transaction description is pulling in from the account suffix description and then uses the origin code and origin type to determine if it was a payment (i.e. ACH or AFT). Those are combined to create the transaction description that appears in the member's history. For example, if your loan product is 360 MORTGAGE and a payment is made, the transaction description might be 360 MORTG PAYMENT. You can use Tool #105 Account Suffix Configuration, choose a suffix and update the trans  More...
  • 3. How does a member's account get debited for bills they schedule through "It's Me 247" Bill Pay (Fiserv)? Public
    Preview
    In one of three ways: Note: The term 'subscriber' refers to your 'member'. Electronic Payments (ACH) - Fiserv's preference is to send all payments electronically. However in the Risk Model format it is not always feasible. Fiserv submits the merchant payment (via the fed) from a Fiserv settlement account the same day we submit the debit (via the fed) to the subscriber account. Fiserv is taking the risk on the payment. Electronic payments are typically sent when the subscr  More...
  • 4. Can you explain how the system secures funds for debit card authorizations? Public
    Preview
    The process can vary a bit according to the vendor, but here's a discussion about how it works for credit unions on the CO-OP network, as an example. In most cases, debit card authorizations create a Misc. Secured Shares record on the member's account to hold the funds. When the actual transaction comes in, this record is automatically deleted. (There are exceptions to this rule, such as gas purchases.) A little history: In the past, debit card authorizations would add a hold to an ind  More...

  • 7. If we have to close a membership due to fraud, can we transfer an open loan account to the other membership so we don't lose all of the history and data from the original loan? Public
    Preview
    There is currently no mechanism to simply transfer account data from one membership to another. This would cause issues with credit reporting and would require a lot of cleanup work in eOscar as well. The better method is to close the account and reopen a new one. Note: Previous credit reporting history will remain under the closed account. Transaction history cannot be transferred to the new account but will be available on the closed account for the normal retention period (usually 18 months)  More...
