  • 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!

  • 7. 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...

  • 9. 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.

  • 15. If a loan category is configured for a single payment per period (members are not allowed to pay ahead), at what point does the system know when to advance the next payment date and when it should not? Public
    Preview
    The answer depends on the payment period window, which runs from due date to due date (not calendar month). This is best illustrated by an example: A member has a loan with a monthly payment due date of July 25. A payment is made on June 30, advancing the due date to August 25. If another full payment is then made before July 25, the due date will not advance, because the loan is still within that same payment period window. If a full payment is made after July 25 (even if it's still in  More...
  • 16. 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.

  • 17. 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...
  • 18. Why does CU*Answers charge a monthly fee for running service charge programs we configure ourselves in CU*BASE? Public
    Preview
    There are two primary reasons we charge this fee: Our belief that we should do our best to keep our fees down when credit unions do not earn. This is why, for example, It's Me 247 Mobile Web is offered free to our credit unions. It's also behind our constant pressure to reduce fees where CUs have no basis or belief they can charge for a defensive, relationship service. Charging for these services in this manner fund other areas where the direct expenses cannot easily be identified wi  More...

    Both of these terms refer to types of Secondary Names records that can be linked to individual savings, checking, certificate and IRA accounts.

    To take advantage of the CU*Answers online imaging solution, there are a few required pieces of hardware.

Thermal printers are required for the system. These hardware devices are described in more detail below: Gweep U  More...
  • 21. A member account has a "P" in the ACH column next to her 000 savings. When I try to view what is pending, there are no pending items. Why is the P there? Public
    Preview
    The pending transaction can be found by printing the warehoused ACH transactions (Tool # 693 Print Warehoused ACH Transactions ). In this case there was a pending withdrawal for the member's 000 account. It can be found on the PACHSU report as an invalid account. However, the program for pending transactions only uses the company ID and the Depositor Id to look up an entry in the ACHSUS and ACHDST file. So that was enough information to see the P for Pending without actually being able to   More...
