A common request from credit union employees, although generally not from credit union management, is that the network (CU*Answers or cuasterisk.com) should move to “get” Zelle. While we understand the general rule of thumb that if members seem to like a solution it makes sense to match it, in this case the credit union business leader needs to look deeper: Zelle is a branded solution for P2P. It is a community that you join. Zelle provides a P2P transaction approach that is uniqu  More...

There was a rewrite by CUNA effective April 1, 2014 that states that if a loan is over 120 months, you cannot add insurance to it. Your example was for a Home Equity Loan for 240 months. CUNA insurance only goes out for 120 months so you receivced the error term is over the life maximum term . Please call your CUNA representative if you have any further questions.

Special care should be taken when adding distribution records for a member who has more than one deposit coming for the family from the same institution. Take the time to research the member ACH records using the ACH inquiry screen, and if there isn't enough information on this screen, go to CU*SPY and find the PACXTB report to review the ACH detail. For example, the Smith family receives three ACH payments for Social Security benefits: one for the husband, John, one for the wife, Mary, and   More...

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...
