  • 2. What does the term "ping" mean and why would I use it? Public
    Preview
    Ping stands for P acket IN ternet G roper, and is a utility that is used to verify a connection to another connection on the network, remote network, Internet, ...etc. It sends out a packet and waits for a response from the target.

  • 5. 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...
  • 6. Why does CU*Answers charge a monthly fee for running service charge programs we configure ourselves in CBX? 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...

  • 9. Why does my credit union need Station Control for CBX? Public
    Preview
    As we transition from CU*BASE GOLD to CBX, we are shifting from an application that runs directly on a workstation to a more modern, browser-based solution. Previously, CU*BASE GOLD relied on command-line arguments and local temporary files to interact with multiple applications. This approach is not sustainable for the future, as web browsers lack the capability to execute command-line requests and require called applications to be installed and registered on the system. To address this limitat  More...

    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.

  • 12. How can I address the 2018 Reg. CC change regarding restrictive endorsements for Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) deposits? Public
    Preview
    Your credit union should require that the member use a restrictive endorsement – ‘For mobile deposit to [your credit union name]’. It is also recommended that your member agreements shift liability for a second presentment of an item to the depositor if the depositor fails to use the required language. Also, check with your RDC Process Vendor; eDOC Innovations, for example, offers a service that will scan for restrictive endorsements on all RDC items on submission.

    The system will advance the next payment due date depending on the payments made during the “payment period” window, which runs from due date to due date (which is not always calendar month).
