We have a link to Online Banking from our website. When a member logs out, can they be brought back to our home page automatically?
Members who use either this logout button or the Logout button at the top of the page will be directed to the Online Banking Community (OBC) page. Your credit union can select a different landing page, however. Contact the Internet Retailer Support Center to activate this feature at irsc@cuanswers.com.

In order to meet program requirements, we need to put a TurboTax banner in our online banking login page. Any suggestions?
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...

One of my members has received communications directly from "CheckFree" about online bill pay. Why would Fiserv be sending something directly to them?
Remember that Fiservoffers their CheckFree service direct to consumers and via many other financial institutions throughout the country, including banks and other, non-CU*BASE credit unions. The CheckFree Direct product is called mycheckfree and members may sign up for this themselves from many different sources on the Internet. (It's not at all uncommon for people to sign up and never use the service!) Just because the money comes from their credit union accounts doesn't mean they More...

What is the benefit of having members use the login pages rather than logging in directly from my website?
Using a link to the standard login pages provides much more than just the ability to log in: The I forgot my password link that allows them to reset their password online They have to set up the Security Questions anyway; why not give them a place to use them to help themselves if they forget their password? The Apply for Membership link to capture membership applications and work them right from CU*BASE (no rekeying!) Why would you not allow every possible opportunity for someone to say th More...

Can I add account number and password fields to my website to log directly into online banking, bypassing the OBC login screens?

For the password and security questions, the member would then be directed to the OBC login page, as now. Use the link below for instructions on how to use our Direct Login widget to add the appropriate code to your website. OnlineBanking It's Me 247 Itsme247

My member has an AFT set up with the payment date controls set to “2=Make this payment ONLY if a payment is not made another way” for their membership. This month my member did not have enough money in the From: account when the AFT transfer was processed, but she made a payment afterwards directly to the loan to fulfill rest of the loan payment. Why were the AFT funds not transferred to the loan account?
In this example the AFT was set with a payment date control of “2=Make this payment ONLY if a payment is not made another way for their membership.” On the date of the scheduled AFT, the AFT will look to see if the payment is made on the loan. If the amount in the From: account is does not satisfy the AFT, the amount paid will go in the partial pay field of the AFT . (The loan partial pay field is only evaluated the first time the AFT is processed.) From that point forward, an AFT More...

We are interested in using RDC-IQ and are currently using a vendor other than eDOC Innovations (UrbanFT) for RDC Posting Services (batch posting). Can we move directly to use RDC-IQ with eDOC Innovations as the vendor?
This can be done if you completely close down your program with your existing vendor and do a hard cutover to RDC-IQ. However, depending on the status of your program, you may want to allow your members time to migrate. If you use a vendor other than eDOC Innovations for batch posting (UrbanFT, for example) and want to use RDC-IQ, we recommend that you first migrate to eDOC Innovations and use RDC Posting Services (a batch file process). Once you terminate your program with the former vendor, w More...

When looking at the ATM/Debit or Credit Card Activity screen, what does the indicator in the Type and Transaction Description mean?
The fields are related to Process Codes, in that they are derived from the code attached to the message received from the plastics processor (vendor, or switch). The Type you see in the initial Type column of the Activity screen relates directly to the Transaction Description when you view additional transaction details. Transaction types may not apply to all vendors. Examples of these labels are as follows: DEP (Deposit Transactions) ATM/DEP A deposit made at an ATM. ATM/DEP - including a $ 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...

This comes from the Workstation Device Configuration in CU*BASE. To view or change this: Launch Tool #326 CU Hardware Configuration Select Terminal/Workstation In the list of workstations, locate the ID of the workstation you are looking up and double click on it (or just type the ID and press Enter) This will open up the terminal's configuration in CU*BASE.

Our credit union has been asked to perform a member account verification (audit). What are the procedures for this process?
At some point during the year your credit union's audit firm may contact your credit union to perform a member account verification. This involves sending statements with a special message and unique return address, so that members respond to the auditing firm rather than the credit union directly. Here are some important tips to ensure your audit is successful: CU*Answers cannot change your credit union's return addresses on statements. CU*Answers uses custom statement envelopes for a More...

A member did not get either an October or November statement, but his December statement showed a range of 12/1 to 12/31, not 10/1 to 12/31 as I would have expected. Can you explain?
In this particular member's situation there was no activity in either October or November that triggered a statement. The credit union's quarterly (and year-end) statements are configured to produce a statement for every member, regardless of activity level, but monthly statements are more restrictive in an attempt to save postage costs, and not every member gets a statement every month. NOTE: CU*BASE statements have a considerable number of configuration options that allow credit unio More...

A third-party software (iText Sharp) is required on my PC for PDF exports from the dashboard. How do I install this?
A third-party utility is needed to generate robust PDF output. If you are having issues with PDF generation, it is possible that this is missing or corrupt on your PC. Or it may mean that you have not yet installed the software on your PC. See below for directions on what to do if you need to purchase a license of this software (iText Sharp) or how to install it once you have purchased a license. IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING LICENSING (Updated January 28th, 2014): CU*Answers has purchased a blo 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...

Where does CU*BASE get the account descriptions that members see in online banking and on their statement?
CU*BASE does have several different places where product descriptions can be configured, each used for different purposes. It's common for the descriptions to be entered the same into each configuration, but there are reasons why they are sometimes slightly different. For example, if you use the same range of account suffixes across several of your checking account products, your account suffix description might be something general like Checking whereas the description entered into the More...

What's the best way to create a Representative Payee account on CU*BASE?
In a nutshell, you will set up a Membership Designation Code for Representative Payee, with the label for primary name set to Beneficiary and the label for the joint owner name set to Rep Payee. Then the procedure is to open the membership in the beneficiary's name and SSN, then put the representative payee's SSN as the joint owner (type J secondary name link). TIPS: Remember that in CU*BASE the words joint owner simply are used to describe a particular record type in the Se More...

How does the A2A process get started? Once the form is filled out what do I do?
The first step is to make sure your credit union has filled out the three required forms: Sign Up Form, Electronic Payment Service Agreement, and Fed ACH Participation Agreement. There is also a non-disclosure agreement to sign to receive a copy of Magic-Wrighter's SSAE-16 audit results. Once the Client Service and Education team has received the forms from your credit union, they will send the form to our third party processor, Magic-Wrighter. Magic-Wrighter will submit a confirmation with More...

How can I view basic statistics of my loan applications, such as denied, approved, pending, and deleted?
CU*BASE has a tool that displays application statistics in a handy dashboard format. Tool #472 Loan Queue Activity Tracking allows you to choose a date range and branch to filter the information, with additional filters such as Underwriter Code, Delivery Channel, Interviewer ID, Loan Category, Product Code, Dealer #, and Business Unit, if you wish. You can also use this dashboard to analyze the data you've selected in your filters, as well as export to a PDF or Excel format. This dashboard c More...

I'd like to have a PDF copy of a report that I can include in my Board packet. I know I can get that from CU*Spy for daily and monthly reports, but what about a report I'm generating myself?
If your credit union uses the CU*Spy online vault, it's easy! Just choose INSTANTxx (where xx is your credit union CUID) as the printer name when printing any CU*BASE report. When the report is generated it will be sent directly to the new INSTANT OUTQ. CU*Spy will regularly monitor for reports sent to this queue and within a few minutes, you’ll see the report under the “Instant Reports” tab in CU*Spy. It will be indexed with the name of the report. IMPORTANT: Remember y More...

I tried to print a Query definition and it doesn't go to my default printer like I want. Can I change that?
No. The way that normal CU*BASE features work is to use the CU*BASE Workstation Configuration settings to determine a default printer for certain functions, or you can choose a printer directly when printing most CU*BASE reports. But since IBM Query is not a CU*BASE program but rather a generic program offered by IBM, it does not have any way of looking at CU*BASE configs for the info it would need to direct the print job. Therefore a Query definition will go to your list of spooled files and More...
