Yes. There is an Amortization Default option available in each of your Loan Product Code configurations which allows credit unions to default amortization criteria such as: Delinquency Fine Code, Rate, Payment Frequency, # of Payments etc. The system will then default this value into the applicable fields when creating a new loan request. These defaults are intended to provide consistency for all new loan requests, but can be changed/edited during the loan request process if necessary.

It is not recommended that you make a non-member fill out both a loan application and then go through MAP/MOP after that. The way these work currently, there is no way for the system to know those completely independent applications have anything to do with each other. Normally, when a non-member loan app is submitted, a non-member record is created. In the normal workflow of an employee approving that app via CU*BASE, the data is moved from the non-member table to the MASTER table for the ne  More...

You'll find this information in online help while working on each of the individual loan application screens. Look under the heading Field Descriptions for information about what fields, if any, from that screen will appear on the short-form loan application. For example, on the Employment Loan Application screen, the fields that will print on the short-form app will appear in blue text in the list of field descriptions. (Click the link below to view this.)

When you see the 'pass decision' status, this means that the application passed your filters and then passed the model. The underwriting ratios are not a hard stop and will not cause an application to pass or fail. Based on the workflow, a model is requested and a decision has already been made by the time those ratios calculated. The ‘fail’ flag in the underwriting ratio is simply a visual indicator to the loan officer that the ratio is potentially higher than normal.   More...

For example, you may have a loan officer and a loan underwriter review the screens together. If you review loan application screens this way, the last person to leave the screen will have their changes saved. Let's review this example: Sue Loanofficer and Mary Underwriter are reviewing a loan applic  More...

Depending on your browser or your device, the date picker will vary. For mobile devices, the loan form currently tries to prompt the native date picker of the device. There are variances between iOS and Android that might be confusing. For the iPhone, the date picker is pretty straightforward and it's pretty easy to change the year. However, on an Android it's not as obvious. The trick is to tape on the year itself, which pops up a rolling list of other years to choose from. See   More...

If a person or organization is added to lending denial of service block list, an employee cannot open a loan under any membership owned by that SSN/TIN. They will see messaging that the “SSN/TIN appears on block list” directly after selecting the membership when attempting to create a loan application for that SSN/TIN in CU*BASE. Additionally, for online loan applications, the loan officer will see messaging “On Fraud Block List” when working an incoming loan application   More...

The large loan payment was applied as a principal-only payment, which does not move the next payment due date on the loan. When the payment was reversed using the 95 reverse loan payment code, the due date was backed up and made the loan delinquent. That evening, the Auto Funds Transfer system tried to satisfy the delinquency on the loan because the delinquency control flag was turned on in the AFT record. Whenever you reverse a loan payment, make sure to review the loan due date before an  More...

The system will advance the next payment due date depending on the payments made during the “payment period” window, which runs from due date to due date (which is not always calendar month). Once the next payment period begins, any payments made will count towards the payment amount due until it is fully satisfied, at which point the due date will advance to the next payment period. Payments may still be made during the current payment period; however, any overpayments will be c  More...

For example, if creating a loan request on August 25, you would specify that the first payment is due on September 30. Then enter a 31 into the Payment day field. This will trigger the system always to use the last day of any given month going forward (31, or 30, or 28 or 29 for February).

The most likely reason is that someone posted an account adjustment to pay off the loan and get it off the books, but neglected to clear out the interest due amount at the same time. NOTE: Remember that CU*BASE delinquency monitoring ignores loans where the balance is $0 or below, regardless of whether there is interest due or not, but the system will not close a loan with interest due, even if the principal has been paid to $0. If posting a manual account adjustment, make sure to post an adjust  More...
