Since your credit union's website can be the online banking login page, by putting either a budget or the direct login widget on the page, we suggest you place the TurboTax banner on your credit union's website. Since the OBC is a shared resource, we do not have the ability to add custom banners on the OBC. (Xtend does do custom Member Reach messages on the OBC page, but that would only allow for text, no images.) Likewise, because It's Me 247 online banking is a shared resource,   More...

Well, it's a little of both, actually. If you activate something that’s optional in CU*BASE but there is not a corresponding link to that from somewhere in your master navigation, then members won’t be able to get to it. As an example, take the overdraft services feature, where members can change their Reg E opt in/out choice online. If you do not have a link to this in online banking from either the mega menu, on a clickable ad, or on a widget bar, then even if you activate i  More...

There is nothing CU*Answers can do to stop financial aggregation services like Mint from accessing our online banking products. Although we have set up many direct integration tools over the years (see the related links), members can also provide their credentials to whomever they choose and the process is entirely in the hands of that third party to maintain the connectivity. Hint: Members who choose to do this will need to remember that whenever they change their online banking password, they&  More...

You can Query the PCALTCFG file for information on e-Alerts and e-Notices.

This can be done via CU Publisher. If you are not currently a CU Publisher subscriber, reac  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...

Below are some commonly asked questions about MFA. Below the questions are some fuller feature documentation resources. After my credit union activates multi-factor authentication for It’s Me 247 , do my members using the “jump” feature (to access a second membership without entering credentials) need to use MFA during this jump?

Since the system will be unable to respond with a balance, it will also be unable to log the text message against the member's account number, which means it cannot be included when fees are tallied. So although the member may still be charged by their mobile phone provider for text messages they send, they will not be charged the usual text message fees by the credit union via CU*BASE (nor with the credit union be charged for that item).

Phase two for CBX will include additional new enhancements, plus fresh takes on enhancements that were retired with GOLD; many of which will come back in new, modular ways for use in CBX. Work has already started on phase two enhancements, such as a new way of using VAT (visual analytics tools) in CBX that includes the same export functions, as well as on-screen graphs.
