  • 1. When I use the "credits only" or "debits only" buttons in transaction history, I don't always see the transactions with the date I entered. Public
    Preview
    As described in this AnswerBook item , this has to do with the unique way in which transaction records are displayed in this inquiry screen. You might get better results after you use page up or down, then use the debit/credit button. The most important thing to remember is that the date you enter is just a target, not a true filter. Because transactions must be listed in the order in which they were posted (in order for the resulting balances to make sense), the list will always “try&rd  More...
  • 2. Why did a member who has elected to opt out per Reg. E receive a non-return fee on a debit card transaction? Public
    Preview
    In many cases, the reason an opted-out member receives the non-return fee is because this transaction is a recurring payment. Recurring transactions are not covered by the Reg. E Opt In/Out requirements. You can identify this by the * after the DBT/WDR trans description on the member's transaction history. Recurring transactions are posted and fee'd even if the member is Opted Out.
  • 3. Can you explain how the system secures funds for debit card authorizations? Public
    Preview
    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...
  • 4. Is it possible to print a check to a vendor without creating an invoice? If so, can that payment be recorded in the vendor’s Accounts Payable history? Public
    Preview
    You can use the “Print CU Checks” feature to cut a check to any vendor, including vendors that have been configured in your CU*BASE Vendor database, without creating an invoice record, if you wish. If you want that item to show up in the vendor's history (and update their YTD amount paid for the current year only ), you will need to perform a separate step to add the record manually. Here are the steps: Step 1: Printing a Quick A/P Check In a nutshell, you will be using Tool   More...
  • 5. What do the symbols mean in the transaction description of my ATM/debit and credit (EFT) transactions? Public
    Preview
    When you see one of the following symbols ($, *, #) in the 8th position of the transaction description of your EFT transaction, that indicates that the transaction was processed as a special type. You can view the transaction description either in the member transaction inquiry (account history) or via ATM/Dbt/Crdt inquiry and maintenance tools. As an example, the transaction description for a recurring debit withdrawal transaction will begin with: DBT/WDR* * indicates that the transaction was   More...
  • 6. How does a member's account get debited for bills they schedule through "It's Me 247" Bill Pay (Fiserv)? Public
    Preview
    In one of three ways: Note: The term 'subscriber' refers to your 'member'. Electronic Payments (ACH) - Fiserv's preference is to send all payments electronically. However in the Risk Model format it is not always feasible. Fiserv submits the merchant payment (via the fed) from a Fiserv settlement account the same day we submit the debit (via the fed) to the subscriber account. Fiserv is taking the risk on the payment. Electronic payments are typically sent when the subscr  More...
  • 7. My 870.07 Journal Transfer Suspense G/L is off - what should I look for? Public
    Preview
    As the name of this G/L suggests, this suspense G/L is a wash-through account for automatic system transfer processes such as member journal account transfers, auto check transfers etc. Therefore this G/L should be zeroed out each day as both sides of the transfers offset each other and wash through this G/L. However there are certain things that can occur (either automatically or manually) that may cause a balance to remain in this G/L and require manual intervention to clear it out. The m  More...
  • 8. When an ACH item comes in as an exception and is NSF, the NSF fee is not being charged. Why? Public
    Preview
    This happens when there is an invalid ACH item that can't be posted at all (bad account number, for example). Even if you subsequently update it, when reposting if the item can't pay due to non-sufficient funds, the NSF fee will not automatically be charged. The ACH item will also not show in the member's transaction history. That's because NSF fees are only charged when the item originally comes in, not via the ACH Exceptions re-post feature, to prevent these fees from being   More...

The data is built from the the transaction history tables.
