How do I change a Social Security number that's on a non-member record and put it on a member's account instead?
There are several steps in removing a member's Social Security number: 1) Run a global search to see what types of relationship codes the SSN has with your credit union. 2) The first relationship codes you will want to review are the 'CB' or 'JI' which mean the non-member is a co-borrower and/or joint owner on the account. They need to be removed first. To remove them, launch Tool #3 Open/Maintian Memberships/Accounts, choose Update member information then Joint owners an 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...

What precautions should I take when adding distribution records for a member who has more than one deposit coming in from the same institution but for different household members, for example Social Security deposits?
Special care should be taken when adding distribution records for a member who has more than one deposit coming for the family from the same institution. Take the time to research the member ACH records using the ACH inquiry screen, and if there isn't enough information on this screen, go to CU*SPY and find the PACXTB report to review the ACH detail. For example, the Smith family receives three ACH payments for Social Security benefits: one for the husband, John, one for the wife, Mary, and 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...

With Deposit Secured Loans, do members sign a Promissory note before the loan is funded? What happens if they do not sign the form?
Yes, if an online note is programmed in CU*BASE, it will be presented to and signed digitally prior to the loan funding. If the member cancels out and does not sign the form, the loan will not be created. Instead, the system will submit a loan application to be worked in the LOS Loan Queue (Tool #2). Deposit Secured loans do require special loan forms specifically coded for this type of offer. Your standard loan forms cannot be used with this feature without the special coding. f you are anx More...

If I have changed my Social Security (SSA) ACH Deposits to use the Automated Funds Transfer solution, should I now consider changing back to ACH deposits?
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 with 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 chang More...

Can you explain how the system secures funds for debit card authorizations?
The process can vary a bit according to the vendor, but here's a discussion about how it works for credit unions on the CO-OP network, as an example. In most cases, debit card authorizations create a Misc. Secured Shares record on the member's account to hold the funds. When the actual transaction comes in, this record is automatically deleted. (There are exceptions to this rule, such as gas purchases.) A little history: In the past, debit card authorizations would add a hold to an ind More...

Will I be able to reset a member's security questions in CU*BASE?
Yes. You won't be able to read the answers to the member, but you can reset (clear) them. This will force the member to set up new answers and/or questions the next time they log in. This can be done two ways: Use Tool #72 Update ARU/Home Banking Access and click the Reset Security Questions button. OR In Inquiry/Phone/Teller, click the Home Banking Mbr button then use F11-Reset Quest.

Does Employee Account Security control an employee's access to an account from everywhere on CU*BASE? For example, how about from Payroll or ACH?
Not every feature that potentially shows account details on an employee's account is governed by the Employee Account Security controls. Apart from technical impracticalities, our basic philosophy has been that employees who are given access to “sensitive” features (like Collections, or posting payrolls, etc.) should be trusted employees, and they should be allowed to use the tools to do their job. If they have to be hobbled or monitored, then perhaps they shouldn’t be tr More...

We are in the process of creating a procedure in the case of a security breach in which we might need to have all members change their online banking passwords. Is there a way to configure the system to force a password change every 6 months or 12 months (even if the account is active)?
Tool #569 Online/Mobile/Text Banking VMS Config > Online Banking Password and Security Settings includes a setting labeled Expire stale passwords after xxx days of non-use . This means if a member does not log in within that period of time, they must answer all of their security questions in order to reactivate or change their password, before they can log in. The maximum allowed is 90 days, so a value 6 or 12 months is not currently allowed. Remember that this process expires the passwo More...

How can I archive a monthly report that lists all of the overrides my employees made to accounts that were frozen or had secured or uncollected funds? How can I easily archive a report for each type of override?
Tool # 868 Transaction Override Report allows you to create a report that shows when a transaction override was performed on an account that was frozen, had secured or uncollected funds, as well as transaction overrides to par value (below minimum).

As a credit union security officer, am I able to create or delete a user ID in CU*BASE without contacting CU*Answers?
No. This requires a very high level of security access on the iSeries, which we cannot make available to our clients. The only way for CU*BASE user IDs to be created or deleted is to fill out and submit a Credit Union Security Authorization Request to our Client Services team. This form can be found on our CU*Answers Online store (use the link below).

I have a member completed a loan application with the incorrect Social Security number for the joint owner. How did the credit report pull under the correct SSN if the incorrect SSN is attached to the loan application? Is there an indicator that will tell us that the SSN is incorrect for the co-borrower?
The information sent to the bureau was not an exact match, but based on the information provided (including name, address, DOB, etc.), the bureau returned a match to the correct SSN. CU*BASE is set up to pull a credit report for applications that are sent from online banking based on the applicant's consent to have their credit pulled within the application. There is not a way for the SSN to be verified as correct or not at the time of the application, but the credit bureau is able to do fur More...

A member did cash transactions in excess of $10,000; however, the CTR form did not pop up in teller processing for the teller to complete the form when the transaction occurred. Why did this not happen? Is it because there were multiple transactions completed at the same time?
The CTR did not populate because the system calculation can combine only those transactions that were posted at the same time. In this particular situation the member had seven deposits within a few minutes of each other where the total amount calculated under his Social Security number exceeded the credit union configured CTR flag amount over $10,000. None of the individual amounts he deposited, however, exceed the $10,000. The total excess of $10,000 calculated placed him on your BSA monitor More...

When I print a check, the logo and signature areas are not printing correctly. I am getting garbage characters such as !@#$%&*()abc, etc. Why is this happening and what can I do to correct it?
These symbols print when the printer doesn't know what graphic or font to use for the logo, signature, or MICR line. There are a few possible causes: Is this a new printer? If this is a new printer, the first thing to consider is whether the other printers at the credit union use Check Secure devices. Check Secure devices are no longer sold and are not compatible with new printer hardware. To transition from Check Secure devices to the new software based check printing methods, contact CU More...

What are some basic browser troubleshooting steps to take when an issue with a website is encountered?
While it is possible that an issue someone runs into on a website is an issue with the web server or a programming issue with the site, it is very important to rule out any browser or workstation incompatibilities first. If the website is not being opened in a supported browser, for instance, it can cause errors that would otherwise not exist. So what are some standard troubleshooting steps than can be taken? Are you using the latest version of your browser? Just like any other piece of software More...

Can a CSR reset my employee ID password?
No, our CSRs will not reset the 2-character CU*BASE Employee IDs for your staff. This must be done by an internal CU security officer. Use Tool #762 Reset Employee ID Password . (This can also be done via Tool #327 CU*BASE Employee Security using the Reset PW option.) It is important that credit unions insure proper training to their employees regarding the expiration of their CU*BASE Employee ID password. We deliver a warning message of expiration 7 business days prior to the staff member. More...

Do I have to activate online banking and audio response automatically for all my new members?
No, actually you can default all new memberships to deactivate online banking and/or audio response access until the member specifically requests it. This is highly recommended as it helps to protect members who join the credit union but never get around to using your online tools right away. These accounts may be your most vulnerable since the member hasn't set up a private password or security questions. By deactivating them as a default, you can give them a little extra protection from More...
