What data tables can I search to see information about where and when attempts are made to login to a member's online banking account?
There is a table called MBRAPPSTAT which holds records of various API calls done during the entire member authentication process, even before they have successfully logged in to online banking (even if through the mobile app). That is the first place TO look to see records of what's happening with this member's account as they step through that process. There is one row for each API call, and each API call represents a different phase of the process. For example - Get Username, Get Chall More...

We sometimes have non-member joint owners that join the credit union, or closed memberships that re-join later on. When I create the membership I choose to copy that old data into the new membership so I don’t have to retype everything. What happens with the phone numbers in those cases?
If you are creating a membership by copying over the data from an existing non-member record (like a joint owner or co-borrower is joining the credit union), the system will copy over all phone numbers tied to that non-member record and attach them to the new membership, then delete the old numbers tied to the non-member (since the non-member record itself also gets deleted at that time). This is not the same when copying from another existing membership , or when copying from a closed membershi More...

Can CU*Answers prepare the necessary files for my CU to participate in the Wisconsin data matching program for unemployment insurance claims?
Yes. The data match file we already send to the State of Wisconsin each quarter will be used now by them for multiple purposes, including tax data, unemployment insurance, etc. Your credit union is still charged the same quarterly fee* for transmitting a single file to the state.

CUs do not need to do anything; the file content is the same and the state is simply using More...

What is the best data table/file to use when I am building a query of my file maintenance data? I see two options, CUFMAINT and CUFMNT.
Beginning with the 17.10 CUBASE Release (October 22, 2017 for online clients), CU*Answers implemented the CUFMAINT table, which includes data from the CUFMNT table, as well as additional data not included in CUFMNT. CU*Answers recommends using the CUFMAINT table for all report building and query activity. If you currently have any Queries using the CUFMNT table, they will still work, as CUFMNT is now a View over the C UFMAINT table but without all of the additional information, so it will s More...

We are thinking of activating the new See and Jump features for online banking. Can you explain the thinking behind the security, and why only an account owner can have this access?
IMPORTANT NOTE: When It’s Me 247 was updated in 2021, the “See” option shown on here was made unavailable. There are two major points to consider when thinking about allowing members to see information beyond the account to which they are actually logged in. Both extend beyond online banking to consider a financial institution’s role and responsibility in protecting member private data via all access channels, from the teller line to a back office employee answering More...

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...

I see that my member's loan account is in the credit bureau reporting file but it isn't reflected on the individual's credit report. What types of things might prevent a primary borrower or additional signer from being applied by the bureau?
