  • 4. My member gets a Social Security (SSA) deposit via ACH. We use an ACH distribution to pay the member’s loan payment, but the loan payment was not made. Why did this happen and what benefits are there to using an Automated Funds Transfer (AFT) instead? Public
    Preview
    Prior to the 16.10 release, the SSA began using multiple Company IDs, and it was recommended that credit unions consider using Automated Funds Transfers (AFTs) to handle distributions. Beginning the 16.10 release a new cross-reference system will be implemented that will automatically funnel all incoming company IDs from the Social Security Administration and treat them as if they came from one, consistent company ID we’re referring to as the “Primary ID.” With the changes ma  More...
  • 5. Why does CU*BASE show delinquency in two different ways? In some places it is months/days and others it is actual number of days. Public
    Preview
    There are two methods used to track delinquent loans for reporting purposes in CU*BASE: Method One (for Collections tracking) We have always tracked delinquency in two separate fields for “Months” and ‘Days” in the member files. When a loan is 30 days delinquent, it shows as “0 Months, 30 Days” delinquent. When a loan is 31 days delinquent, it is “1 Month, 0 Days” delinquent. A month is always considered 30 days regardless of the actual number o  More...

  • 9. Do you have an explanation for members concerning the APYE calculation on their statement? Public

  • 15. I have a loan that is configured as single payment per period, but it was somehow advanced two payment periods last month. How does this happen? Public
    Preview
    If the member is delinquent (even by one day), the member is then in the next payment cycle (due date to due date). Therefore, if the member pays the regular payment amount, the loan will advance the date by one period, or by two periods if the amount of the delinquent payment is double the regular payment that is scheduled . For example, John Doe has a Overdraft Protection LOC account that is configured as single payment per period. At the end of September John is due for October 4. John does   More...

Use Tool #14 Member Personal Banker then choose See/Jump Relationships .

  • 19. Can you explain how the NACHA Web Debit Rule relates to the Membership Opening Process (MOP) and A2A transfers? Public
    Preview
    When a new member joins your credit union through MOP, they can fund their account with a plastic from another FI. Magic-Wrighter uses this information to debit the member via the plastics rails, then credits the member in CU*BASE via ACH. Therefore, because no ACH debit transaction is being originated, we do not believe there is any need to opt into the Magic-Wrighter Web Debit Validation service if you offer funding via your MOP site. As far as the CU*BASE A2A toolkit in partnership with Mag  More...
  • 20. Why, when we report a credit card to the credit bureau, it is reporting the credit limit & high credit fields as the same? Public
    Preview
    In the past, when reporting credit cards to the bureau, CU*Answers sends the maximum disbursement limit field for both the high credit amount and the max credit limit fields. Effective with the CU*BASE 11.4 Software Release (Nov/Dec 2011), a change was made so that this is no longer true. For open-end loans, we will report the larger of the Crrent Blance or the calculated High Credit Amount. Since members can draw on these loans at any time, the High Credit Amount will be determined using the   More...
