  • 2. What should I keep in mind when I have existing 1Click offers (since data from the Product Configuration is used when making the offer)? Public
    Preview
    Following are some helpful tips to keep in mind when you have existing offers: Do not make adjustments to your Product Configuration when it is tied to an existing offer.

  • 4. Does the 1Click Offers feature support the requirements of the Military Lending Act (MLA)? Public
    Preview
    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...
  • 5. 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? Public
    Preview
    IMPORTANT NOTE: With the new look for It’s Me 247 being released during 2021, the “See” option shown on here is temporarily unavailable. Members who had See-only access previously configured will no longer have access. Jump, however, is still available. 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&rs  More...
  • 6. What are the differences between an online ASP and in-house e-document strategy? Public
    Preview
    The differences ultimately come down to control and cost. The online ASP system is the fastest, simplest, most inexpensive way to get started with an e-documents strategy for your credit union. With online ASP you offload the back-end service management headaches to CU*Answers. We manage, backup, secure, and patch/upgrade the eDOC servers and databases and these processes fall under our SAS 70 and third party security audits. The online ASP system consists of electronic storage of receipts, loan  More...
  • 7. On our loan credit insurance and/or debt protection posting reports, we see exception descriptions that are abbreviated. What are their meanings and did the premiums/fees post or were they rejected? Public

    These message indicators appear on the CU*BASE loan insurance premium posting report (TCUNAS2 / TCUNAS3) and the Debt Protection Fee posting/exception reports (TCUNAD2 / TCUNAD3).

  • 8. I am interested in using the 1Click Offers feature that allows me to make loan offers to members in online banking. I also hear that these offers (if not taken) are purged monthly. When does this purge happen? Public
    Preview
    1Click Offers are purged monthly on the 2 nd Saturday of the month. If the 1Click offer is older than 30 days old at the time of the purge, it is purged. This means that 1Click offers may not be purged for a longer period if they are not over 30 days old at the time of the purge.
  • 9. With Deposit Secured Loans, do members sign a Promissory note before the loan is funded? What happens if they do not sign the form? Public
    Preview
    Yes, if an online note is programmed in CU*BASE, it will be presented to and signed digitally prior to the loan funding. If the member cancels out and does not sign the form, the loan will not be created. Instead, the system will submit a loan application to be worked in the LOS Loan Queue (Tool #2). Deposit Secured loans do require special loan forms specifically coded for this type of offer. Your standard loan forms cannot be used with this feature without the special coding. f you are anx  More...

  • 11. If our tax forms are uploaded to It's Me 247, how will members who are not enrolled in eStatements receive their tax documents? Public
    Preview
    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. The presentation of tax documents in the My Documents section of It's Me 247 is an additional convenience that makes the forms readily available online, often earlier than they are provided by via mail. If you are not currently offering this feat  More...
  • 12. Why does CU*Answers charge a monthly fee for running service charge programs we configure ourselves in CU*BASE? 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...
  • 13. I tried to print a Query definition and it doesn't go to my default printer like I want. Can I change that? Public
    Preview
    No. The way that normal CU*BASE features work is to use the CU*BASE Workstation Configuration settings to determine a default printer for certain functions, or you can choose a printer directly when printing most CU*BASE reports. But since IBM Query is not a CU*BASE program but rather a generic program offered by IBM, it does not have any way of looking at CU*BASE configs for the info it would need to direct the print job. Therefore a Query definition will go to your list of spooled files and  More...

  • 20. What is the calculation to reconcile the suppressed statement count found in the Statement Reconciliation Dashboard (Tool #825)? Public
    Preview
    ABC Credit Union is trying to reconcile the number of suppressed statements on the Statement Reconcilation Analysis (dashboard). To do this, they need to add the number of statements that were not mailed, either because they were set to archive (see below) or because they had the wrong address flag checked. (Removing duplicate entries in both groups is also necessary.) In addition, they need to consider accounts that were closed in the statement period. Here is the math to reconcile the Le  More...
  • 21. If I use Account Maintenance to update a Dividend Application and the corresponding general ledger number, will a journal entry be automatically posted for the principal balance (and any accrued dividends) of the member account? Public
    Preview
    Yes, the general ledger entry will post automatically in end-of-day processing. Account Maintenance can be used to change the dividend application for member accounts based on the product parameters. For example, a Student Checking may have an age maximum at which point the checking account may need to move the credit union's regular checking product offering. If the Dividend Application configuration have the same suffix range, there is no need to order new checks, change any ACH or Payroll  More...
