No. PIB is a layered security solution , which is one of the three methods recommended by the NCUA to comply with the “Guidance on Authentication in Internet Banking Environment” (letter 05-CU-18). Remember that you only need to select one of the three available methods. (The other two methods are multi-factor authentication, and “other controls,” the NCUA’s way of allowing for technology that doesn’t even exist yet.) Although the term “multi-factor   More...

IMPORTANT NOTE: When It’s Me 247 was updated in 2021, the “See” option shown on here was made unavailable. There are two major points to consider when thinking about allowing members to see information beyond the account to which they are actually logged in. Both extend beyond online banking to consider a financial institution’s role and responsibility in protecting member private data via all access channels, from the teller line to a back office employee answering   More...

Is Loan Manager specific to targeting marketing loan products to authenticated members? Yes! The existing Legacy Loan Application was originally designed for both members non-members and was universal to all loan types. The new Loan Storefronts Web Modules are being developed within our web mobile app online banking flagship solutions. This allows credit unions to target their existing members towards specific loan products. When used together, they provide a faster, more convenient way   More...

For things like expanded balance and transaction $ amounts, Query will automatically adapt to larger amounts, and you generally won’t need to do anything. (The only exception is if you send the output to a vendor, they’ll need to be made aware of the larger amounts. Or perhaps if your report is completely full side to side and you need to remove a column in order for everything to still fit across a printed page.) As far as dates, if a date was formerly 3 separate fields for year  More...

The member will need to wait 15-20 minutes until they are unlocked. Or the member can also toggle to the standard login process and enter their username, password, and answer to security question, then access the settings info option from the More menu, and they can reset their app data or go into authentication options and reset authentication options on all devices to re-establish their MACO features.

Yes, security for the download capabilities is included in It's Me 247 .

When a member speaks to the Xtension Call Center directly regarding information about their account, transaction acitivity or to request a transfer, we will begin by verifying the member's identity. Once we have asked the member for their account number we will follow the listed procedures in this order: If present, we will ask for the code word found in the member record. If answered correctly we will complete the member request. If the code word is not present we will ask for the mother&  More...

With the 16.10 release a new cross-reference system was implemented that automatically funnels 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.” In cases where the Depositor ID is the same, for example a husband and wife, these ACH transactions will be handled by the same master ACH distribution record under the Depositor ID since duplicate Depositor IDs are no  More...

Yes! We offer this service so that you can allow members using current versions of Quicken to download data from online banking. ( It's Me 247 will also continue to offer the older QIF file format which works with Quicken versions 99 through 2004.) As explained in the brochure (see the link below), there is a startup and an annual maintenance fee from Qucken to offer this feature to members. (CU*Answers has paid for all of the development and testing and will not charge your credit union a  More...

The Internet Retailer Support Center (IRSC) is a support desk at CU*Answers for credit union virtual channel project managers. It brings together several digital strategy products into one cohesive location and a single point of contact—no more searching across CU*Answers’ websites for forms saved in different places! Credit unions looking to expand their virtual channel marketplace will be able to shop and explore the offerings online as well as check project development status. The  More...

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...

With the 16.10 release we have developed a new cross-reference system 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.” Refer to the linked to Answer Book items for more information about this feature. At implementation of the release two reports were placed in your credit union’s HOLDxx OUTQ. The first, CNV40003, lists all  More...

In a case where the credit union decided that member account numbers had been seriously compromised and wanted to do a conversion of account numbers assigning each member a new account number, CU*Answers would have to bid the process as a custom conversion. There are no current standing processes related to assigning new account numbers to 100% of a credit union's CU*BASE membership. While the conversion of the “go-forward” new member account numbers would be relatively simple,  More...

CU*Answers strives to accommodate our clients by offering training in many different formats, from full classroom offerings (see the current CU*Answers University Catalog) to online learning and web conference sessions. We also offer individual training sessions, and workshops which can be held either at a credit union site, or here at CU*Answers. For credit union staff to train internally, we offer our web-based online courses as well as hands-on learning using a pretend CU*BASE credit union  More...

When members receive an error code of 1 or 2, there is a very simple fix for it in CU*BASE. It's Me 247 online banking and bill pay (Fiserv) programs communicate with each other automatically through an authentication PIN every time we go from one to the next. When we see a status code of 1 or 2, it is telling us there is an issue with this PIN. It is easy to reset and the member will be able to get into bill pay within 24 hours. Launch Tool # 14 Member Personal Banker. Enter the member&r  More...

After enabling session encryption, GOLD may present a Warning T02 error message and not launch. Here is a screenshot of the error: If you encounter this error message, there may be an issue with your workstations local certificate store. We have identified a few possible causes. Typically, your workstation has several expired certificates in the store that are causing conflicts; or your workstation does not have the correct GoDaddy intermediate certificates.

There are several ways to obtain this data. To see the total number of active online banking members, use Tool #856 Tiered Svcs Monthly Comparison to display active user counts for any monthly period. (HINT: Click the Goal 4 button to display this data.) This can be done even if your credit union does not use Tiered Services for any other purpose. To print a report of usage statistics, use Tool #141 ARU/Online Banking Stats Dashboard To see online banking usage stats for a particular m  More...

There is a table called MBRAPPSTAT which holds records of various API calls done during the entire member authentication process, even before they have successfully logged in to online banking (even if through the mobile app). That is the first place TO look to see records of what's happening with this member's account as they step through that process. There is one row for each API call, and each API call represents a different phase of the process. For example - Get Username, Get Chall  More...

As a result of a January 2018 Windows 10 update, you will need to join your Windows 10 iSweep to your domain. This will be handled internally for Network Services Managed Clients, however, non-managed clients will need to have Network Services work with their IT staff/third party IT company to setup a new local account on the machine in order to join this unit to your domain and complete the additional steps.

PIB provides a layered security approach to add additional authentication controls for Online Banking. PIB, which stands for Personal Internet Branch, is an independent application that provides multiple, configurable controls that govern how Online Banking behaves and what members can do with access to it. PIB allows your members to control access to their accounts with controls by feature, day of week, time of day, and even geographic location. It layers additional passwords and member aut  More...

Unfortunately not all of the files used for Participation Lending reports are run using month-end E files (the EOM snapshot), but rather pull from current participation lending files. When a loan is deleted from Participation all PLLOAN and PLHIST records are deleted with that – this is why rerunning any reports are changed; there is no history to include in those new reports. We recommend the following: Always make sure you create and ARCHIVE the reports needed when processing end of m  More...

Here is one way to make sure that MACO is unenrolled from all devices that have been enrolled using this particular account: Step 1: In case credentials have been compromised, have the member change their password, then enroll for MACO Step 2: If the member sees the message, “Previous Enrollment Found,” that indicates that another device has, in fact, enrolled with MACO. (Less commonly, this message could also mean that the member had previously enrolled but hit “Reset All  More...

Online Banking continue to work just fine whether you decide to activate PIB or not. Yo u should not activate PIB without some careful planning and preparation. You need a plan. A plan for marketing the change to members. A plan to train your staff. A plan for rolling out the changes with an acceptable level of disruption to members and staff. A plan to handle the increase in phone calls and frustrated members. A plan to make this part of your process for opening new memberships.   More...

For a forced password change, the security table can be flooded with a forced password change status and the member would have to change their password the next time they log in. The hold password would remain in the system until the member updates their password. There is not an automated process for this on CU*BASE. A programmer will have to do this manually via a custom programming request. A custom request would need to be submitted and an estimate for leadtime will be provided at that time.  More...

GOLD cannot be installed directly on an iPad. However, GOLD can be accessed from a remote session server via various thin client access methods such as RDP emulators, etc. in much the same way Virtual Branch functions. However, CU*Answers does not officially support accessing GOLD via an iPad at this time. CUs can certainly access GOLD in this manner, though it is recommended they follow best practices and FFIEC/NCUA VPN recommendations concerning two factor authentication, encrypted sessions, P  More...
