First check the device configuration to make sure CBX knows the printer is capable of duplexing. Using Tool #326 CU Hardware Configuration , choose P for Printer and double-click on the printer ID. The Duplex setting should be checked. If this setting is already correct, you will need to contact a Systems client service representative and we will verify that the Duplexing option is set to Yes in the credit union configuration library for that printer model. (Keep in mind that this may not be p  More...

The fields are related to Process Codes, in that they are derived from the code attached to the message received from the plastics processor (vendor, or switch). The Type you see in the initial Type column of the Activity screen relates directly to the Transaction Description when you view additional transaction details. Transaction types may not apply to all vendors. Examples of these labels are as follows: DEP (Deposit Transactions) ATM/DEP A deposit made at an ATM. ATM/DEP - including a $  More...

Tray assignments are controlled by a combination of the model in the CBX library, the print session configuration, the Windows driver, and the settings on the printer itself. Let's break down how each affects it first: Model in library - each model defines the PCL code that CBX appends to the print job for duplex and trays. If the wrong model is selected, the wrong PCL may be pushed with the print job. It is also important to have a supported printer , otherwise CU*Answers cannot guarante  More...

Using CBX to Comply with New Rules for Tracking Beneficial Ownership FinCEN has issued new rules under the Bank Secrecy Act that require financial institutions to identify and verify the identity of the beneficial owners of all legal entity members (corporations, etc.). Under the final rule, credit unions are required to have written procedures to identify and verify beneficial owners of legal entity members who open new accounts on or after May 11, 2018. In addition to identifying and collecti  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...

Yes, you can designate your credit union's own savings (or checking) account number to receive round-up funds when setting up a member's round-up transfers, if you wish. 1. Launch Tool #14 Member Personal Banker for a member who wants to participate 2. Select the Debit Card Roundup enrollment button and double click on the member's desired suffix 3. Enter in your credit union's internal account for the account to which you'd like the round-up funds transferred (this accou  More...

When a device first connects to the iSeries, a virtual device is created - consider it a placeholder for that workstation or printer. Only one device can exist for each ID, which is why only one person can sign into a printer at a time. Throughout the virtual devices lifecycle, there are several different statuses that device can be in. Read below for some details! Workstations VARY ON PENDING - this is the default status of the virtual device. This status means the device is ready and wai  More...

When you use the filter buttons on the File Maintenance Inquiry dashboard (Tool #159: Audit File Maintenance Inquiry (CUFMNT)), indicators note which programs, fields/columns, and files/tables AuditLink has flagged as “critical” for auditing teams to monitor on a daily basis. You can quickly sort by that indicator and select only those items for a quick scan of maintenance that directly affects member accounts. Below is a listing of these critical items.

If you pull credit reports using the CU*BASE online credit bureau access system, credit report data is stored online and can therefore be mined for opportunities. There are a couple of ways you can find this information: Use Tool #976 Where Your Members Borrow This tool pulls trade line data from stored credit report files, showing other financial institutions with whom your members do business. This tool lets you make a direct comparison between your credit union and a competitive FI. F  More...

In the case of a custodial membership for a child and parent, the correct procedure is to open the membership in the child’s name and SSN, then put the parent’s SSN as the joint owner. NOTE: It is not possible for the joint owner name to state “As Custodian” instead of just the parent’s name. Because of the way joint owners are simply links between two member/non-member records in CU*BASE, a change to the joint owner name in this case would actually change the par  More...

As we transition from CU*BASE GOLD to CBX, we are shifting from an application that runs directly on a workstation to a more modern, browser-based solution. Previously, CU*BASE GOLD relied on command-line arguments and local temporary files to interact with multiple applications. This approach is not sustainable for the future, as web browsers lack the capability to execute command-line requests and require called applications to be installed and registered on the system. To address this limitat  More...

The settings that control how this works are part of Tool #558 NSF/Overdraft Transfer Configuration , on the Overdraft Protection Activation screen. There are two flags for ANR/courtesy pay: Use Negative Balance Limits for Authorizations and Use Negative Balance Limits for Posting . They control whether the member's ANR limit is added when determining the available balance amount. There are four different combinations of these flags: Authorization Flag Posting Flag Description of Result  More...

Yes. You can pull a credit report for any service using the online credit bureau process. Using Tool #53 Process Member Applications, use action code CR to pull the report without creating a loan request and application. We can then create Member Services denial notices for debit cards, checking accounts, ATM cards, etc.

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...

This comes from the Workstation Device Configuration in CU*BASE. To view or change this: Launch Tool #326 CU Hardware Configuration Select Terminal/Workstation In the list of workstations, locate the ID of the workstation you are looking up and double click on it (or just type the ID and press Enter) This will open up the terminal's configuration in CU*BASE. In the middle is the list of default printers where your documents will print: General Printer - this will be the printer to which a  More...

It's possible but fairly rare, given how most CUs set up their statement criteria. The two statement types are independent as far as the criteria that determine whether a member gets a statement or not. Typically a CU sets up their regular account statement to look at OC (open credit) accounts, which includes online credit cards, and produce a regular statement if there is any activity. Likewise, a credit card statement is generally set up to produce a CC statement only if there is activi  More...

In some cases, the general upload file that is received by CU*Answers on a daily basis only contains accounts where a member has had a change to their account. Contact your OTB vendor to see if you can request a full file to be sent so that all card information would be sent in the upload file to CU*Answers. (In some cases if your CU is already being charged for the upload it is possible there would be no change in price to have the full file sent over.)

No. This law actually pertains to merchant card programs where the merchant is collecting payments for services and goods sold. Since we do not run merchant programs on our platform, this reporting requirement does not apply to us.

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...

No. ATM transactions are not included in the debit card round-up toolkit. It is either signature-based debit card transactions or POS (pin-based) transactions.

Printed Statement Style fees are triggered only by production of a regular account statement (based on a file called STPRINT01, which is generated only with regular statements, not CC statements) . If a member gets only a credit card statement, they wouldn’t get a fee that particular month. If the next month they get both a credit card statement and a regular statement, then they would get a fee that time. (Note: We do always produce a year-end statement for every member, no matter wha  More...

The process can vary a bit according to the vendor, but here's a discussion about how it works for credit unions on the CO-OP network, as an example. In most cases, debit card authorizations create a Misc. Secured Shares record on the member's account to hold the funds. When the actual transaction comes in, this record is automatically deleted. (There are exceptions to this rule, such as gas purchases.) A little history: In the past, debit card authorizations would add a hold to an ind  More...
