  • 1. I am receiving a 'printer timeout error' when trying to print a document to my HP Laserjet 2200. What should I do? Public
    Preview
    The first thing to do is make sure all the cables are connected securely to the printer and the PC. Be sure to note if one of the cables is a network cable. If all of the cables are securely connected and you still cannot print, restart the PC and the printer. If you receive the same error once the printer and PC are back up, there is likely a hardware issue with the printer. If one of the cables that plugs into the printer is a network cable then the Jet Direct card (a network interface   More...

    Preview
    When a device first connects to the iSeries, a virtual device is created - consider it a placeholder for that workstation or printer. Only one device can exist for each ID, which is why only one person can sign into a printer at a time. Throughout the virtual devices lifecycle, there are several different statuses that device can be in. Read below for some details! Workstations VARY ON PENDING - this is the default status of the virtual device. This status means the device is ready and wai  More...

  • 6. What are the differences between an online ASP and in-house e-document strategy? Public
    Preview
    The differences ultimately come down to control and cost. The online ASP system is the fastest, simplest, most inexpensive way to get started with an e-documents strategy for your credit union. With online ASP you offload the back-end service management headaches to CU*Answers. We manage, backup, secure, and patch/upgrade the eDOC servers and databases and these processes fall under our SAS 70 and third party security audits. The online ASP system consists of electronic storage of receipts, loan  More...

  • 8. What is a Source of Receipt and how do I get a copy of one? Public
    Preview
    Source of Receipt (SOR) is the paperwork that accompanies the checks to the Check Processor. It is the documented proof of when and from whom the checks were received. SOR provides the ABA# of the bank the checks are received from, the date of the cashletter, the amount of the bundle the check was in, the position of the check in the bundle (checks before after), and the tracer number assigned to the check. On the form you'll see a couple of abbreviations: IB stands for Item Before that   More...

    Preview
    Make sure that drivers for the printer are loaded on the PC on which you are building the session. Test the drivers by printing a windows test page unless you are using a thermal receipt printer. DO NOT SEND WINDOWS TEST PAGES TO THERMAL RECEIPT PRINTERS!

  • 10. Is it possible to return a check that will be considered a late return? Public
    Preview
    The IP Dept. will return any check requested by the CU. However, no IP staff member can guarantee acceptance of a late return by the Depositing Bank. The Depositing Bank is allowed sixty (60) business days, from the charge date of the return, to file a late return claim. When a late claim is filed, the Paying CU will receive a debit, the original check, and all other supporting documentation for the claim. If the Paying CU can not prove the check was returned timely, the debit stands and there  More...

    Preview
    There are many, many components in the infrastructure that protects your member data, from passwords and daily backups to production redundancy and full-blown DR/BR plans. One important piece of that puzzle involves the protections we put in place to control data moving between the System i and a local workstation. Years ago no one ever imagined an employee popping a thousand member records onto a thumb drive and heading out the door. Today we have entire teams and sophisticated tools to prev  More...
  • 12. If our tax forms are uploaded to It's Me 247, how will members who are not enrolled in eStatements receive their tax documents? Public
    Preview
    Regardless of whether a member is enrolled in eStatements, the member will receive a paper copy of their tax documents in the mail, provided they earned enough dividends (or paid enough interest) through the tax year to qualify for a tax form. The presentation of tax documents in the My Documents section of It's Me 247 is an additional convenience that makes the forms readily available online, often earlier than they are provided by via mail. If you are not currently offering this feat  More...
  • 13. A member did cash transactions in excess of $10,000; however, the CTR form did not pop up in teller processing for the teller to complete the form when the transaction occurred. Why did this not happen? Is it because there were multiple transactions completed at the same time? Public
    Preview
    The CTR did not populate because the system calculation can combine only those transactions that were posted at the same time. In this particular situation the member had seven deposits within a few minutes of each other where the total amount calculated under his Social Security number exceeded the credit union configured CTR flag amount over $10,000. None of the individual amounts he deposited, however, exceed the $10,000. The total excess of $10,000 calculated placed him on your BSA monitor  More...

    To take advantage of the CU*Answers online imaging solution, there are a few required pieces of hardware. Each branch will each need an Gweep upload appliance to transfer the electronic images to the secure database. Additionally, scanners are needed to capture photo IDs (and supporting documents for loans), and signature pads are needed at each workstation where receipts are signed. Thermal printers are required for the system. These hardware devices are described in more detail below: Gweep U  More...

    The previous tools used for uploading and downloading to and from CU*BASE will be retired when your credit union recieves the 20.07 CU*BASE software release. For online and Site-Four credit unions, that date is Sunday, July 12. Self-processing credit unions will receive the release the following Sunday, July 19.

  • 16. What's the best way to create a custodial account on CU*BASE? Public
    Preview
    In the case of a custodial membership for a child and parent, the correct procedure is to open the membership in the child’s name and SSN, then put the parent’s SSN as the joint owner. NOTE: It is not possible for the joint owner name to state “As Custodian” instead of just the parent’s name. Because of the way joint owners are simply links between two member/non-member records in CU*BASE, a change to the joint owner name in this case would actually change the par  More...

  • 18. Can I print DBA names on statements and other documents? Public
    Preview
    Your credit union can elect to print the DBA name instead of the primary member name on all standard (non-custom) correspondence (use the link below to see the list of documents). This flag will be turned off by default. With the CU*BASE 9.2 release (August 2009), this flag is set as part of the Membership Designation code configuration, which means that you can set it differently depending on the type of membership. For example, you might want to use the member's name on most memberships  More...
  • 19. I see multiple applications by the member in my loan queue as well as a booked Deposit Secured loan. Why is this the case? Public
    Preview
    When the member starts and then cancels the document signing process a pending application is created. They can do this repeatedly, for example if they have technical difficulties, and each time a new pending application is created. These pending applications are not tied to the final completed booked CD, Share Draft, or Share Secured loan by the member. If the member starts and stops and then later completes the process, your loan department may need to do some investigation to determine whi  More...

  • 22. Can I print both the member name and the DBA name at the same time on things like statements or other documents? Public
    Preview
    In most cases*, no. If you configure your Membership Designation to print DBA name, it will always print instead of the member name on printed correspondence. This is because the places where this prints typically do not have enough space to add yet another line to the inside address, especially where window envelopes may be involved. *The one exception to this is Misc. Member Account Forms, where you can choose to print both if desired.
  • 23. How does CU*BASE handle Plastic reissues for my ATM/Debit/Credit card products? Public
    Preview
    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...

Member Account Forms, both member name and DBA can be selected.
  • 25. Do the Deposit Secured loan products require that joint owners sign documents? Does it evaluate loans against community or marital property laws? Public
    Preview
    No. Secured loans do not look to joint owners, community property, or marital property laws. The loan documents will not require, ask for, or accept a second signature. Your credit union may wish to review your Member/Loan Documentation to ensure they are still in compliance with the product. You may decide to use a unique certificate type for CD Secured loan products or a unique dividend application for your Share or Share Draft Secured loan products.
