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...

Is there a way to put a supervisor override on a member account without actually freezing the account? I have some members on a repayment plan and want the teller to contact a supervisor before serving the member.
The freeze codes themselves are designed when you want to control the member's access to the funds in his or her account. But if you want to control whether an employee can access or post transactions on a particular membership, you should check into Employee Account Security and/or Employee Type Codes . These can stop a member from making a transaction at the teller line until the appropriate employee could give access to the account, but wouldn’t stop the member from using self More...

With the CU*BASE budgeting tools, can I project changes to my branches for the coming year, such as if I’m adding a branch or plan to reallocate member branch assignments at some point?
Yes. There is a technique for reviewing and manually adjusting branch allocation calculations for projected asset and liability balances. See the Budgeting with CU*BASE booklet for instructions. NOTE: The classical budgeting tools also contain a “Close a branch” function which zeros out monthly figures from your budget starting with a month you specify. But this does not affect projections for asset and liability balances used in the modeling tools.

Explain how the Secondary Names (SECNAMES) file works to store joint owner names, especially in cases where a membership doesn't really have "joint owners" per se (like a Representative Payee).
The Secondary Names (SECNAMES) file stores instructions that link a membership account to another member or non-member record. The file stores links to joint owner names and beneficiary names for all non-IRA account types. (IRA beneficiaries are stored in a completely different file because they are linked to an IRA Plan Type, not specific individual sub-accounts.) The file also stores a third type referred to as miscellaneous owner which can be used for any purpose you wish. The most co More...

What is the strategy behind how Online Banking releases are scheduled?
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...

What time-frame should I consider when turning on PIB?
Online Banking continue to work just fine whether you decide to activate PIB or not. Yo u should not activate PIB without some careful planning and preparation. You need a plan. A plan for marketing the change to members. A plan to train your staff. A plan for rolling out the changes with an acceptable level of disruption to members and staff. A plan to handle the increase in phone calls and frustrated members. A plan to make this part of your process for opening new memberships. More...

What is iShield Security?
There are many, many components in the infrastructure that protects your member data, from passwords and daily backups to production redundancy and full-blown DR/BR plans. One important piece of that puzzle involves the protections we put in place to control data moving between the System i and a local workstation. Years ago no one ever imagined an employee popping a thousand member records onto a thumb drive and heading out the door. Today we have entire teams and sophisticated tools to prev More...

Can written off loans be suppressed from member statements?
No. If a loan has been written off by the CU*BASE system and therefore is still considered collectible, it will continue to appear on member statements. If a loan uncollectable it should be closed (charged off) and therefore will not appear on member statements. Currently there is no plan for CU*BASE to suppress certain types of loans or other accounts from appearing on a member's statement. However, you could code the account so no statement is produced. See the Related Q A link below. coll More...

Why can't everything in CU*Talk be read in Spanish?
There are four ways that information is communicated to the caller in CU*Talk: Static Audio Prompts/Custom Prompts – these are the CU-defined welcome messages, hours and locations. (NO SPANISH OPTION CURRENTLY.) Text to Speech – a custom option for the credit union in which information is grabbed from CU*BASE and communicated via a text to speech program in CU*Talk. This can include the welcome message, hours and locations, and rate descriptions and their corresponding rates. (NO SPA More...

Is PIB the same as multi-factor authentication?
No. PIB is a layered security solution , which is one of the three methods recommended by the NCUA to comply with the “Guidance on Authentication in Internet Banking Environment” (letter 05-CU-18). Remember that you only need to select one of the three available methods. (The other two methods are multi-factor authentication, and “other controls,” the NCUA’s way of allowing for technology that doesn’t even exist yet.) Although the term “multi-factor More...

Is it possible to print a check to a vendor without creating an invoice? If so, can that payment be recorded in the vendor’s Accounts Payable history?
You can use the “Print CU Checks” feature to cut a check to any vendor, including vendors that have been configured in your CU*BASE Vendor database, without creating an invoice record, if you wish. If you want that item to show up in the vendor's history (and update their YTD amount paid for the current year only ), you will need to perform a separate step to add the record manually. Here are the steps: Step 1: Printing a Quick A/P Check In a nutshell, you will be using Tool More...

Are local administrator privileges required in order for a workstation to receive CU*BASE GOLD updates?
For normal releases of changes to the CU*BASE GOLD software itself, no. Updates to the core software screens (called panels) are pushed to your credit union's GUAPPLE(s), then each workstation grabs those updates the next time the software is launched (assuming there are no open sessions already running). The exception to this is when we need to deploy updates to the LegaSuite client software itself. This is the client software that runs on the workstation to facilitate the use of CU*BASE More...

Are Shared Branching transactions included in the total dollar amount for BSA (Bank Secrecy Act) tracking within CU*BASE?
The CU*BASE BSA monitoring tool does include data about shared branch transactions conducted via its own internal shared branch tool (includes Xtend Shared Branching). From the national shared branch networks (such as CUSC/FSCC), CU*BASE does receive Funds In amounts (separated by checks and cash) and includes those in BSA tools. (Currently Cash Out is not included, although that is planned for a future project.)

I'm hearing from members that emails we send to them don't always reach them quickly, or are being marked as spam and blocked. Is there anything we can do to help make sure members receive emails from the credit union?
Remember that once the emails are sent by CU*BASE, it becomes a function of various email service providers to deliver the emails to members. Because of the way our system can send a batch of email messages to a large group of members at the same time, there may be some providers that interpret these email messages as “spam” (junk email) messages, especially if you have a large number of members who use the same provider (such as Gmail). If you hear from members that your emails ar More...

We like to use the Closed Membership Analysis Dashboard found in the Member Service menu; however, the closed reason codes only give totals and do not show the individual members associated with each code. How do I find out the specific members that are in each of the closed account reason codes listed?
For this use Tool #218 Closed Membership Report . This provides a listing of each of the memberships that were closed, along with the specific closed account reason code for each. If you do not want to print a report, but would like to use the information, you can select to Export To File, choose Account Detail for Query, and then you can download the resulting file onto your PC and into an Excel spreadsheet using Tool #1375 Data Transfers (Upload or Download) .

What is the ACH posting change required by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) on 9/20/19?
Answer: The FRB requires that same-day credit items received in the 12:00pm ET file window are posted no later than 1:30pm ET. This will require a new ACH posting configuration from CU*Answers. That configuration was added to the software in the May release and will be made available to you no later than 9/9/19. CU*Answers Operations will begin bringing the 12:00pm ET FRB files in earlier beginning 7/22/19 in preparation for this change. CU*Answers plans to populate the configuration to “P More...

A black screen shows up instead of the video when I go to watch an online course video on the OnDemand site. Can you help?
This will happen if you do not have access to YouTube, which hosts the videos found on the CU*Answers OnDemand site. To fix this problem, ask the IT person or network administrator at your credit union to enable access to YouTube. Another reason could be your browser. If you are having trouble witha particular video, try re-launching it using Internet Explorer rather than Chrome or other browser. The reason we are putting online course videos on YouTube now, instead of on our own server as More...
