When a credit union statuses a member's card as 'HOT' or warm (Lost/Stolen/Fraud/Restricted), this information is transmitted immediately to your vendor to stop any further withdrawals/purchases being performed with that particular card. But at your vendor a 'Hot Card' is not considered to be a closed card. When your member's card remains at a HOT or Warm card status on CU*BASE, CU*BASE is still required to send any maintenance updates such as address change, phone numbe  More...

The settings that control how this works are part of Tool #558 NSF/Overdraft Transfer Configuration , on the Overdraft Protection Activation screen. There are two flags for ANR/courtesy pay: Use Negative Balance Limits for Authorizations and Use Negative Balance Limits for Posting . They control whether the member's ANR limit is added when determining the available balance amount. There are four different combinations of these flags: Authorization Flag Posting Flag Description of Result  More...

Per CO-OP, both the ATM side with CO-OP and the debit card side with EFUNDS gets updated with the hot card status. Service Center SC24 Coop

The MSG TYPE values describe types of 'authorizations' and 'transactions' processed through the CO-OP network. Authorizations: (100 110 120 130) For PIN Authorizations there is no hold on the member's funds. However, Signature Authorizations place a hold, CU*BASE shows this as a debit authorization comment in OTB processing. In either case this transaction is not posted to the members account. This is just a POS (point of sale) authorization for the merchant. It could be e  More...

CU*BASE does not perform any automated card reissues for any credit union or vendor. With the exception of two platforms*, all plastic card reissues are done for the credit union by their vendor. The normal process is the vendor sends the CU a couple of reports once monthly (usually 6 weeks out from expiration of card). One is a reissue report, the other a non-reissue report. The CU reviews and makes changes to the vendor system prior to their cutoff date for ordering the reissues. All cards   More...

No. ATM transactions are not included in the debit card round-up toolkit. It is either signature-based debit card transactions or POS (pin-based) transactions.

First, use Tool #146 ATM/Dbt/Crdt: BIN Config Inquiry to review what your current limits are. Then, if you would like to change those limits, contact the Cards Payments team ( cardsandpayments@cuanswers.com ) and we’ll be happy to assist with that change.

The consequences of accidentally NOT ordering a card, while inconvenient, are slightly less than the consequences of ordering a card unintentionally. That’s especially true in cases where ordering a card automatically shuts down an existing card, like when there is a second person with that card that suddenly can’t use theirs. (Depends on the vendor setup.) There are situations where CUs use the card reorder feature to change PINs only, or update expiration dates, or something else a  More...

If an employee attempts to order an ATM, debit or credit card for a membership with a SSN/TIN that appears on the plastic orders denial of service block list, an employee cannot order the card. If the employee tries to order a card (via ATM/Debit Card Maintenance (Tool #11) or Update/Order Online Credit Cards (Tool #12), during the membership open process), or when creating a credit card loan, or when adding an OTB credit cards (via Member Inquiry (F1), then OTB/Cards (F17)), they will see mess  More...

If the credit union’s back office has determined that it’s ATM, debit, or credit card G/ls are ‘OUT OF BALANCE,’ they can use the reports below to assist in locating transactions which should have posted but did not post to the general ledger. The recon program documents the differences on two recon reports. The Online Reconciliation Recon to Online Match (PRCNXX1) documents the entries made in the vendor file and any entries that appear in the vendor file that are not  More...

Yes. You can pull a credit report for any service using the online credit bureau process. Using Tool #53 Process Member Applications, use action code CR to pull the report without creating a loan request and application. We can then create Member Services denial notices for debit cards, checking accounts, ATM cards, etc.

The fields are related to Process Codes, in that they are derived from the code attached to the message received from the plastics processor (vendor, or switch). The Type you see in the initial Type column of the Activity screen relates directly to the Transaction Description when you view additional transaction details. Transaction types may not apply to all vendors. Examples of these labels are as follows: DEP (Deposit Transactions) ATM/DEP A deposit made at an ATM. ATM/DEP - including a $  More...

You can view the transaction description either in the member transaction inquiry (account history) or via ATM/Dbt/Crdt inquiry and maintenance tools.

This tool gathers data from a summary table called MATRXSUM. This summary table is created each month from data in TRANS1, TRANS2, and TRANS3. It simply counts all transactions based on their transaction Origin Code (TRORIG). So if you selected those two channels you'd see a count of all transaction records with an Origin code of 13 (for ATM/PIN activity) or 16 (for debit/signature activity).

In this particular member's situation there was no activity in either October or November that triggered a statement. The credit union's quarterly (and year-end) statements are configured to produce a statement for every member, regardless of activity level, but monthly statements are more restrictive in an attempt to save postage costs, and not every member gets a statement every month. NOTE: CU*BASE statements have a considerable number of configuration options that allow credit unio  More...

Our policy is to adhere to PCI Data Security Standard/Security Audit Procedures mandates (these are the rules from Visa about how ATM, Debit, and Credit Card information is protected) which read as follows: 3.3 Mask PAN when displayed (the first six and last four digits are the maximum number of digits to be displayed). Note: This requirement does not apply to employees and other parties with a specific need to see the full PAN; nor does the requirement supersede stricter requirements in  More...

The Process Code or PROC CODE on this screen refers to which accounts CU*BASE is going to look at to see if we can authorize the transaction or which account we are going to process against when the vendor is sending a completion. It is a 6 digit field and is broken down into 3 sections to determine how CU*BASE should process the transaction. First is an explanation of how this 6 digit code is broken down and what each segment refers to: OO FF TT in this example the first two digits would  More...

Think of it this way: the member might have a negative balance limit, but Reg. E says you aren’t allowed to charge them a fee for dipping into it unless they specifically opt in for that level of service. But this rule of thumb ONLY applies to ATM and everyday debit card transactions, NOT to checks and ACH items, nor to recurring debit transactions. Since debit card transactions that have been authorized and come through to CU*BASE for posting cannot be returned like a check or ACH item,   More...
