For security reasons, I like to lock out members from using online banking until they actually want to use it. But with non-use expiration and automatic deactivation features turned on, how do I run any sort of online banking promotion?
If you: A) automatically deactivate online banking access for all new members, and B) expire online banking passwords due to non-use after 90 days, then how do you run an online banking promotion? After all, sending a marketing piece to members won't do any good if they're disabled or locked out from logging in. Of course you could have them call the credit union to get set up, but here's another idea: Set up a special promotional period! Pick a date to start your campaign. Advert More...

If I send a marketing email via Member Connect to a lot of members, do I have to watch for bounced-back emails and update CU*BASE for those with wrong addresses?
Prior to April 2023, we ran a daily routine that collected invalid email addresses throughout the day, then during BOD processing marked email addresses as wrong and recorded a Tracker note with the name of the operator who ran BOD. Starting in April 2023, instead of simply marking them as wrong, we now delete the email address and put it into the Tracker note. A record is also written to the CUFMAINT file maintenance log with the ID of the system operator who ran the process. If the system rec More...

There are reports for CU*BASE Member Connect messages that tell us members that received a message and those who did not and why. Are there any more reports like this?
Great question! Recently, 2 more message delivery reports have been created: 1. eAlerts/eNotices - PALTEMAIL 2. e-statements - PESTMTN2 These reports, along with the PCMMSG delivery report for Member Connect messages, can assist a credit union with identifying the reason why a member might not have received an expected email or how many members you are trying to send emails to that have an invalid email address.

What does a Member Connect email consist of?
Member Connect is a great FREE marketing tool to keep in touch with members by using a plain-text only formatting email. There are currently no examples of these emails but your credit union can create a test database file and give it a generic name to perform your own Member Connect test. The test database file should contain only the account base of a membership that has the CU’s email address (either the testing employee or your generic company email address) on file in CU*BASE so you More...

I just got a new laptop and when I try to log in to CU*BASE GOLD it takes several minutes, and then I get an error message, "Cannot Connect() to server."
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...

What do the various device and print job statuses on the iSeries mean?
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...

My member gets a Social Security (SSA) deposit via ACH. We use an ACH distribution to pay the member’s loan payment, but the loan payment was not made. Why did this happen and what benefits are there to using an Automated Funds Transfer (AFT) instead?
Prior to the 16.10 release, the SSA began using multiple Company IDs, and it was recommended that credit unions consider using Automated Funds Transfers (AFTs) to handle distributions. Beginning the 16.10 release a new cross-reference system will be implemented 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.” With the changes ma More...

If a loan category is configured for a single payment per period (members are not allowed to pay ahead), at what point does the system know when to advance the next payment date and when it should not?
The answer depends on the payment period window, which runs from due date to due date (not calendar month). This is best illustrated by an example: A member has a loan with a monthly payment due date of July 25. A payment is made on June 30, advancing the due date to August 25. If another full payment is then made before July 25, the due date will not advance, because the loan is still within that same payment period window. If a full payment is made after July 25 (even if it's still in More...

Is there a way to code a member's account in CU*BASE so that it is excluded from membership tapes/files that are sent third parties like Liberty Mutual or CUNA?
There are two ways to accomplish this: The first way is to use the Marketing Opt-Out flags on the member's MASTER record. Introduced in the CU*BASE 9.2 release (August 2009), these are two flags that can be checked to exclude the member from third-party marketing communications and/or CU-related marketing commnunications. See the Opt Out link below to read more about the use of these flags. When creating a database file using Member Connect tools, or the CU*BASE List Generator, or even t More...

I am receiving a 'printer timeout error' when trying to print a document to my HP Laserjet 2200. What should I do?
The first thing to do is make sure all the cables are connected securely to the printer and the PC. Be sure to note if one of the cables is a network cable. If all of the cables are securely connected and you still cannot print, restart the PC and the printer. If you receive the same error once the printer and PC are back up, there is likely a hardware issue with the printer. If one of the cables that plugs into the printer is a network cable then the Jet Direct card (a network interface More...

When any of our members updates their personal information through "It's Me 247" they get an email letting them know there was a change. At the bottom there is a signature that we would like to change.
To update a signature line in CU*BASE you’ll use the Tool #497 Member Connect Marketing Tools. (You will need a file name to move forward, so it can be helpful to have a test file created in your QUERxx library for situations like this.) NOTE: For Member Reach clients, Xtend has previously created a file ‘MBRRTEST’ that will allow you to access the Message Maintenance screen. Select Online Banking and/or email message from the first window and then press Enter. On the Me 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...

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

I have an online credit card loan account where the balance from the previous month end was paid in full by the payment due date, yet the member still incurred a finance charge. Why?
Credit card finance charges can be confusing as they are different from a normal simple daily interest consumer loan, because billing cycles play a part in the finance charge calculation. Both current and previous billing cycles are required for the calculation to qualify for a configured grace period. Grace period flags are determined by the credit union and disclosed in their credit card disclosures. Finance charges are waived if the account qualifies for the grace period configured in the loa More...
