  • 1. How can I exclude the persons or organizations on the lending fraud block lists from receiving 1Click Offers? Public
    Preview
    To exclude persons or organizations on the lending fraud block list from receiving your 1Click Offers, exclude the members on the Block New Loans (BLOCKLNAPP) table/file when creating the list of accounts that will be included in the offer.
  • 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. Never delete a Product Configuration that is tied to an existing offer. Within the Product Configuration, be sure you configure a Delinquency code , a Maximum # of payments and a Frequency code of monthly in General Information section and a Del fine code , a Term default , and a Frequency code of monthly on the Online Banking   More...
  • 3. How will 1Click credit card offers be presented to members in the new look for "It's Me 247"? Public
    Preview
    We'll be showing those in the new member messages area, which appear immediately above the member's Favorite Accounts list on the home page. See the related link below for samples of those messages.
  • 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. 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.
  • 6. Is there a way for me to preview my 1Click Offer prior to sending it to my membership? Public
    Preview
    Before you run your batch flood to your membership, it is important to run a test offer. This is done in a similar manner as defining your offer, but instead of running the offer for a batch of members, make the Query for just a single employee account or a group of employees. Sending a test offer helps to ensure that all key data elements are correct. When verifying your test offer, we recommend verifying the items below and any others you feel are key data points. Interest Rate Loan Amount Ter  More...
  • 7. Why are batches of 1Click Offers taking longer to process? Public
    Preview
    Depending on the size of your batch of 1Click Offers, processing times may be extended. Large batches, such as in the thousands, may take up to 10 minutes to process. Please remain on the screen until your batch has completed processing.
  • 8. 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: 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...
  • 9. 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...

  • 11. 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...

    Below are some commonly asked questions about MFA. Below the questions are some fuller feature documentation resources. If members receive their one-time passcode for multi-factor authentication (MFA) via a text, how will my CU be charged for that text message?

  • 16. 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...

    To take advantage of the CU*Answers online imaging solution, there are a few required pieces of hardware.

  • 21. 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.

    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.
