When a database table (file) is expanded or reformatted as part of a development project, what kinds of adjustments might need to be made on my custom Queries that use that table in the definition?
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...

How does the lending denial of service fraud block list work? Is an employee blocked from creating a loan application or from opening a loan for a member? Can the member still submit an online loan application?
If a person or organization is added to lending denial of service block list, an employee cannot open a loan under any membership owned by that SSN/TIN. They will see messaging that the “SSN/TIN appears on block list” directly after selecting the membership when attempting to create a loan application for that SSN/TIN in CU*BASE. Additionally, for online loan applications, the loan officer will see messaging “On Fraud Block List” when working an incoming loan application More...

Can I put Tracker notes on a non-member record, such as for comments about referrals, pre-member lending comments, and things like that?
Yes, using Non-member Notes . These were intended to be a sort of mini-Tracker for non-member records only, and many CUs use them for referral notes and details about loan applications for which the non-member applied but was denied. Check out the related link below for more details on non-member notes in our online help. If the non-member ever becomes a member, those notes can be automatically copied into a Tracker record. In order for this to happen, you will need to adjust your configura More...

Does the 1Click Offers feature support the requirements of the Military Lending Act (MLA)?
No, the 1Click Offers feature does not specifically support MLA requirements. MLA grants a number of protections for active duty service people and imposes specific requirements on the credit union in granting credit. At the heart of the matter is the calculation of the Military Annual Rate (MAPR) and the disclosures required prior to or at the time of extension of credit. The act requires that a unique APR be calculated incorporating things such as fees and credit life or disability. The MAPR More...

I have a husband and wife who both receive Social Security payments to the same membership. Now that CU*BASE uses the new way of handling ACH transactions from the SSA, these are causing duplicate distributions to be posted. What should I do if my members still wish for them to be separate transactions?
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...

Is PIB the same as multi-factor authentication?
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...

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.)

Why does CU*Answers charge a monthly fee for running service charge programs we configure ourselves in CU*BASE?
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...

How can I find a record of the Social Security Administration (SSA) Company ID consolidation changes made with the 16.10 release?
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...

I re-ran a Participation Loan as of a previous month, but there are changes on it compared to when I originally ran it for that month.
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...

We are thinking of activating the new See and Jump features for online banking. Can you explain the thinking behind the security, and why only an account owner can have this access?
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...

What is the process for re-assigning account numbers for the entire membership in the case of a compromised situation?
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...

I accidentally hit my SHIFT key a bunch of times, and a window popped up on my screen that I clicked OK on, and now my keyboard is acting really funny.
If you press the SHIFT key five times in rapid succession it will ask if you would like to turn on StickyKeys. If you click OK, it will turn on StickyKeys. StickyKeys is an accessibility option in Windows that allows for someone to use the CTRL, ALT or SHIFT keys one key at a time without having to hold the keys down. To turn StickyKeys off: Click on the Start button Click Control Panel If you see “Pick a category” with 10 categories below, click Accessibility Options, and then c More...

Why does the Loan Maturity Report (Tool #467) not match the Selective Loan Information Report (Tool #788) for the number and amount of loans reported for the 5300 Call Report?
A discrepancy in the number and amount of loans is because the reports gather the information differently. The Selective Loan Info report (sometimes referred to as the Loan Trial Balance ) is gathering the loans using “Total number of payments” and the Loan Maturity Report is calculating the length of time to maturity from the appropriate date (as specified for “Calculate length of time from maturity from”) and gathering the loans that fall into the maturity ranges ent More...

How can I find out where my members have loans, credit cards, or LOCs at other financial institutions?

We have a loan serviced by another financial institution that we are participating in. Our auditors have asked us to make sure that it is viewed as a loan, but we have it configured as an investment on CU*BASE. How should this be configured?
Within CU*BASE the Participation Lending software is for managing member loans and investor positions. With this the member record is serviced by your credit union and therefore recorded as an actual member loan. If your credit union is purchasing into a loan serviced by someone else and you would like to manage your investment in participation offerings by others, this can be done through the CU*BASE Investments subsidiary software. Some pointers to keep in mind: You will use Tool #993 INV 1: More...

Is there an easy way to find out members who do NOT have a specific loan type yet? I'd like to see what opportunities there are to sell more of our credit cards, or mortgages, or whatever.

Launch Tool #1855 Lending Opportunities Dashboard Use the Loans to Analyze button Choose a loan type from the list (Auto Loans, Mortgages, Credit Cards, Unsecured, or Other Secured) and use Enter to return to the dashboard The top two thirds of the screen shows statistics from your portfolio for that type of loan The bottom third of the screen will show opportunities, divided into two groups: members without that More...
