Is there a way to code a member's account in CU*BASE so that it is excluded from membership tapes/files that are sent third parties like Liberty Mutual or CUNA?
There are two ways to accomplish this: The first way is to use the Marketing Opt-Out flags on the member's MASTER record. Introduced in the CU*BASE 9.2 release (August 2009), these are two flags that can be checked to exclude the member from third-party marketing communications and/or CU-related marketing commnunications. See the Opt Out link below to read more about the use of these flags. When creating a database file using Member Connect tools, or the CU*BASE List Generator, or even t More...

How do I get my CUNA Mutual loan insurance reports after monthly premiums post?
All vendor (CUNA or any other insurance vendor) Loan Insurance and Debt Protection Reports can be found in CU*SPY.

The Report Names in this option are: Loan Insurance = TCUNAS/QPRINT2, TCUNAS QPRINT3, Debt Protection = TCUNAD/QPRINT2, TCUNAD/QPRINT3.

When underwriting an indirect/dealer loan application, does the Centralized Underwriting code “Refer to Manager” send a notification to the dealership via our CU*BASE Integration? If so, does the notification include the application notes from the loan application?
The credit union can pass any underwriting code that's configured as a Approval or Denial code type. So if your credit union has underwriting codes of AI for Approved Indirect and DI for Denied indirect, those will both pass a status of approved/denied as long as they are configured correctly. The only code we standardized is the CO for Counter Offer. This is the only memo type code that can be passed for indirect. Any other memo codes would not trigger a notification to the dealer.

Why does CU*BASE require two steps to perform a teller correction - deleting an audit key and completing a member transaction reversal?
Because of CU*BASE design to integrate directly to the general ledger is one of its most impressive features, the teller system needs to process as its own section. In order to discourage inaccurate or misleading transaction reversals or back-dating, the dual system segreates the teller drawer (cash) from the member transactions and balances. If the two steps are not completed correctly, the general ledger will be out of balance. Fortunately you can use Tool #31 Reverse Tran/Adjust Drawer (Same More...

Does CU*Answers support integrations such as mint.com that pull in financial information if the member supplies their user ID and password?
There is nothing CU*Answers can do to stop financial aggregation services like Mint from accessing our online banking products. Although we have set up many direct integration tools over the years (see the related links), members can also provide their credentials to whomever they choose and the process is entirely in the hands of that third party to maintain the connectivity. Hint: Members who choose to do this will need to remember that whenever they change their online banking password, they& More...

What is Debt Protection coverage?
This new loan coverage is NOT an insurance product, therefore not governed by normal Insurance regulations/audits. It is designed to cover situations not normally covered by Disability/Life Insurance. For example: divorce, loss of a job, drop in income. It uses a Level Rate calculation and cannot have the words insurance or premium used on the posting of the debit to the loan. Although it may currently be used as a self-insured offering, insurance companies warrant the loan disclosure fo More...

Upon review of the Reg CC schedule we received from CUNA, it appears checks over $5,000 must have 3 release dates: Reg CC (next day), $4,775 on the 7th day and the remaining on the 9th day. The system will not allow us to make more than two release dates on a single hold record. Will the system have the capability to follow this regulation or how can we do this?
The $5,000 hold isn't something CU*BASE does currently and is manually performed at the credit union level, by creating a second hold record for the amount exceeding $5,000. On the second hold, the Reg CC release date must be set to the same date as the Release date , so that a second Reg CC release of $225 isn't performed. This will require a new internal procedure for your credit union. Use Tool #919 Update Uncollected Funds Information to add a new hold record or adjust an existin More...

The FACT Act requires we notify members when a credit score was used to determine eligibility for a mortgage loan. How can I use CU*BASE tools to comply with this requirement?
Option 1: Create a Misc. Member Account Form with the appropriate text, and add a procedure for your loan processors to print this form whenever a loan like this is created. Since the CU*BASE online credit bureau system has no way to know if a credit score is used in the underwriting decision, nor whether the credit report was used for a mortgage or home equity loan, this will be manual process. HINT: This step could be added to the Electronic Checklist feature for your mortgage and home equity More...

What do I see "Corp ID" on many of my CU*BASE screens?
The Corporation ID is a designation that allows for one member database with separate accounting ledgers. It is a 2-byte field that is used to attach member records to configuration records that provides for full integration with all CU*BASE functions and processes. We call this Multi-Corporate Processing.

Why can't I add insurance to my Home Equity Loan?
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.

Is CU*Answers going to add Zelle to its mobile offerings?
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...
