Yes, If you are a CU*BASE client and your check processing is handled by the Check Item Processing team, you can offer your members the ability to print copies of cancelled checks using Online Banking and the CheckViewer. If your credit union chooses to activate this feature, the member simply clicks a button from either the checks cleared screen or the account detail transaction listing, to pull that specific check. We also offer interfaces to check images from many other item processing vendor  More...

If your check processor is CU*Check Item Processing, check images are retained for the same time period as transaction history. Other check processors may have a different retention schedule.

Have the CU use their back office connection to the Check Image Processor to pull an image of the check in question and send it to you. Carefully check the information on the image (MICR, Tracer #, check #, amount, etc.) against the information in CU*BASE. If you find a discrepancy, that is likely the issue. At this point you can contact the Check Image Project Coordinator on how to proceed.

Yes. Since this vault is a shared resource, it's important that we all do our part to keep it running as efficiently and smoothly as possible for everyone who uses it. One of the ways to do this is to use appropriate settings when scanning hard-copy documents in to be stored in the vault. For photo IDs , the rules are baked right into the CU*BASE software, so if you scan an ID, the ProDOC system will automatically optimize the image to use grayscale, 100 dpi resolution, and a scan size of  More...

Contact a CSR for assistance with this issue. The impact of the solution may vary from situation to situation.

This can occur if you have an in-house eDOC vault that is not running the correct software versions to support the photo ID auto launch feature for CU*BASE Teller Processing. See the Related Article below for more details. If your tellers see the message below every time a member is selected, first contact a CSR to deactivate the auto-launch feature, then contact eDOC to schedule your upgrade.

You can edit and delete erroneous documents. This is performed through idocVault and cannot be done on CU*BASE. Anyone that is in the CUADMIN user group on idocVault, will have permissions to edit any document. They can delete, edit indexes, or move it to another table. For example if a receipt ended up in the Photo ID table they could move it to the receipts table. If they do not see the edit button (All the way over on the right of the document list in idocVault) then either they don't hav  More...

First check to see if you can view images via online banking. If you can view them in online banking but not CU*BASE (or vice versa), contact a Client Service Representative. If you cannot view them in either place, or if they take a really long time to load, you may wish to contact your check processor to see if they are experiencing any difficulties. Remember that we retrieve the images from them and present them to you via the link in CU*BASE and to your members via online banking. If your ch  More...

To take advantage of the CU*Answers online imaging solution, there are a few required pieces of hardware. Each branch will each need an Gweep upload appliance to transfer the electronic images to the secure database. Additionally, scanners are needed to capture photo IDs (and supporting documents for loans), and signature pads are needed at each workstation where receipts are signed. Thermal printers are required for the system. These hardware devices are described in more detail below: Gweep U  More...

Yes, and the logo can be the same or different. For example, Reg. Z does have specific requirements about listing contact information, so you might need a special layout for your logo that includes a different phone number than what is used on the logo for your regular and CC statements. Contact a CSR at csr@cuanswers.com for information about fees and procedures for changes to logo artwork.

Yes, there are requirements for code version and configuration settings you'll need. If you utilize CU*Answers Imaging Solutions for release management, you are are all set with your code versions; however, it will required configuration settings. Contact Imaging Solutions to leverage this feature. If you do not leverage Imaging Solutions release management, you will need to work with both your imaging solutions provider and CU*Answers Imaging Solutions.

For CU*Answers Item Processing Clients, we only keep 7 years of images before they are purged off the system.

If a member cannot view their check, the research team needs the following information: Credit Union Questions What is your credit union name? Have multiple members reported that they cannot view checks? Are these members having the same experience when viewing their check? (See Member Questions. ) Has the check appeared on the Check Exceptions Report? (TNDET) Was this check cleared at the teller line? (Sometimes this is referred to as a counter-killed check.) Are you able to retrieve a chec  More...

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...

Our official statement is that CU*BASE is not integrated with any TCD or TCR hardware solution; however, you may find the information below helpful. When considering which model of TCD or TCR to select, it is important to realize that supported models are determined by your solution provider not CU*Answers. For example, if you are utilizing DynaCash, as the provider of the software that interfaces between CU*BASE and the cash handling hardware then they would determine compatibility.

One of the hardest things to do with a 7x24 product like Online Banking and PIB is to decide when to implement software changes. Unlike CU*BASE changes that easily can be coordinated with normal credit union operating hours, Online Banking changes must work around member usage patterns and support concerns. If a member needs to check a balance or transfer money at 3:00 in the morning, he can’t just pick up the phone and ask a credit union MSR to handle the transaction for him. Because of t  More...

Verify that check viewing is turned on for the CU. You can check by making sure there is a code in the Check Image ID field in ARU/Online Banking Configuration (MNOP09 #8). If the Check Image ID field is blank, either the correct value was somehow removed and needs to be replaced, the CU’s request for online banking check images is not yet completed (check the Pending Check Image Projects on the Check Image Info portal page), or this CU has never signed up for online banking check image  More...

While it is possible that an issue someone runs into on a website is an issue with the web server or a programming issue with the site, it is very important to rule out any browser or workstation incompatibilities first. If the website is not being opened in a supported browser, for instance, it can cause errors that would otherwise not exist. So what are some standard troubleshooting steps than can be taken? Are you using the latest version of your browser? Just like any other piece of software  More...

This can happen if you have the Launch ProDOC when logging in option turned on in your Preferences (click the Preferences button or use F5 while on the CU*BASE Home page), if the workstation you are using does not actually have ProDOC installed. ProDOC is installed locally, but your CU*BASE GOLD preferences are attached to your CU*BASE employee ID, which means they are used no matter which device you are using to log in. Usually that's a good thing, but if you happen to use a workstation  More...

How many check images a member can view in online banking depends on two factors. The first factor is how long your item processor retains the images. The second factor, and the one most likely to be the limiting factor, is how long your credit union is configured to retain transactions for your draft (MEMBER2) accounts. Whichever of these two factors has the shorter timeframe determines how far back your members will be able to view check images via online banking. There is no cap on how man  More...
