As we transition from CU*BASE GOLD to CBX, we are shifting from an application that runs directly on a workstation to a more modern, browser-based solution. Previously, CU*BASE GOLD relied on command-line arguments and local temporary files to interact with multiple applications. This approach is not sustainable for the future, as web browsers lack the capability to execute command-line requests and require called applications to be installed and registered on the system. To address this limitat  More...

When a member requests an A2A transfer the request is stored in the A2ATRANS file in FILExx (where xx is your credit union ID). CU*BASE has a program which checks that file periodically through out the day. If there is a new item in the file, CU*BASE sends that information to Magic-Wrighter. You will need to take into consideration that there is a daily cut-off time (arranged by you with Magic-Wrighter) and these transactions can take up to 2 business days. So for example, if a request is ent  More...

All VPN data connections directly to your data processor (CU*Answers, CU*Northwest, CU*South, etc.) should be anchored by a stable internet service provider (ISP) with a static IP. Outlier branches that receive CBX/GOLD connectivity through a primary or secondary location (which has a static IP and VPN tunnel back to the data processor) can leverage Dynamic DNS, Dialup VPN IPSEC, and SD-WAN with multiple ISPs to form more stable connections back to the data processors using their primary/seconda  More...

Previously, credit unions used Code 38 for “Return to Maker”, but this code is no longer available in the system. This change was initiated by a Reg CC change in 2018. Now, if you are presented with a situation where you need to return a check to another institution, it is recommended that you use one of these codes to clarify the reason for the check return. Some codes allow you to make the change in CU*BASE. Others require that you contact your Check Item Processor. Read below for   More...
