Tool # 518 Members Reg. E Opted In/Out/Undecided is a canned Query that will split your membership by those opted In, then opted out, and finally those undecided. Any maintenance performed on the new Opt In/Opt Out flags that are within the membership and sub accounts write out to file MASTRL in FILExx, which can be queried to monitor for activity. We suggest monitoring this daily. Select Records of MTANROPT (Reg E Opt In/Out Flag) equal to ‘I’, and MTANROPTDT (Reg E Opt In/Out  More...

When you use the filter buttons on the File Maintenance Inquiry dashboard (Tool #159: Audit File Maintenance Inquiry (CUFMNT)), indicators note which programs, fields/columns, and files/tables AuditLink has flagged as “critical” for auditing teams to monitor on a daily basis.

No, actually you can default all new memberships to deactivate online banking and/or audio response access until the member specifically requests it. This is highly recommended as it helps to protect members who join the credit union but never get around to using your online tools right away. These accounts may be your most vulnerable since the member hasn't set up a private password or security questions. By deactivating them as a default, you can give them a little extra protection from  More...

If your credit union does not take a  More...

There are two major points to consider when thinking about allowing members to see information beyond the account to which they are actually logged in. Both extend beyond online banking to consider a financial institution’s role and responsibility in protecting member private data via all access channels, from the teller line to a back office employee answering a phone call. (1) How does a credit union generally recommend or facilitate a member giving access to their private informatio  More...

You could follow up with these members or even set a policy to deactivate their access if they don’  More...

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...

We receive a file from Fiserv the beginning of each month for the previous month's activity. The date in the file we receive is the date that the member requested as the payment date. Because of this there will be instances when you can see activity in the member's history for a specific month, but yet they are reported as inactive. Example: The member scheduled a payment for November 1st. Fiserv is going to send it out as a member draft, and therefore they cut the check on October   More...

The ability to manage when a member qualifies for a statement is dependent upon the values in a file that holds the sequence number and statement date of a member's transaction history records. If this sequence number gets out of synch with the numbers assigned to each record, the statement processing may not include transactions that should be included. This happens very rarely, but we have seen it on occasion over the years. CU*Answers Client Support staff can update this file, but the   More...
