Why does CU*Answers charge a monthly fee for running service charge programs we configure ourselves in CU*BASE?
There are two primary reasons we charge this fee: Our belief that we should do our best to keep our fees down when credit unions do not earn. This is why, for example, It's Me 247 mobile web is offered free to our credit unions. It's also behind our constant pressure to reduce fees where CUs have no basis or belief they can charge for a defensive, relationship service. Charging for these services in this manner fund other areas where the direct expenses cannot easily be identified wi More...

We have a loan serviced by another financial institution that we are participating in. Our auditors have asked us to make sure that it is viewed as a loan, but we have it configured as an investment on CU*BASE. How should this be configured?
Within CU*BASE the Participation Lending software is for managing member loans and investor positions. With this the member record is serviced by your credit union and therefore recorded as an actual member loan. If your credit union is purchasing into a loan serviced by someone else and you would like to manage your investment in participation offerings by others, this can be done through the CU*BASE Investments subsidiary software. Some pointers to keep in mind: You will use Tool #993 INV 1: More...

Under what rare circumstances will Tiered Services member points exceed possible points?
In online banking, members see both their Tiered Services points (member points) and possible points. As a general rule member points do not exceed possible points. Member points can exceed their possible points if the member has several accounts that qualify in categories that count each individual account instead of limiting points to one per loan category or dividend application. For example the categories of “general savings accounts” or “all other loans accounts” More...

I've set up Tiered Services to assign special electronic deposit hold group codes based on Tiered Service level. Are there reasons why a particular member might not have the group that matches their Tiered Service level for a particular month?
The most common reason why a member might have a hold group that's different from what would normally be associated with their Tiered Service Level is because of delinquency. During daily delinquency monitoring the system sets the Electronic Deposit Hold Group to a certain code when members go delinquent, according to your credit union's settings in both the Member in Good Standing feature as well as your Delinquency Aging Levels configuration. If the system considers a loan to be deli More...

Can I calculate teller check holds based on a member's relationship (Tiered Service) level?
If you want to give a member default check holds based on their relationship with the credit union, you'll need to set up Electronic Deposit Hold groups (Tool #355 Electronic Deposit Hold Configuration with the appropriate # of days, then use the Member in Good Standing system (Tool #499 Member In Good Standing Configuration ) to assign the hold groups according to Tiered Service Level. Then, in the Teller Check Holds configuration feature (Tool #849 Teller Check Holds Configuration ), More...

How can Tiered Services possible points vary from member to member?
In online banking, members see both their Tiered Services points (member points) and possible points. Points awarded for aggregate balances can cause a variance in the amount of possible points granted. Members with higher aggregate balances could be granted a more possible points than a members with lower aggregate balances. Additionally, credit unions can award points for years with the credit union. For these credit unions, long-time members are granted more possible points (as well a More...

How are Tiered Services points calculated for aggregate balance ranges?
In online banking, members see both their Tiered Services points (member points) and possible points. Member points are granted for the highest aggregate balance range for which the member qualifies. For example if a member receives points for having an aggregate balance of over $25 , 000 in loans, the member does not also receive points for any of the other loan aggregate ranges. Possible points are calculated in the same manner as member points. Members with higher aggregate balances c More...

I changed my workstation configuration in CU*BASE to specify a certain "General Printer" ID, but my screen shots are still going to another printer. Why are they not going to the ID I defined?
The General Printer ID that is specified in Tool #326 CU Hardware Configuration does not control where screenshots are printed. The screen shot configuration needs to be changed on the virtual workstation device. Contact the network help desk for assistance. There should be 3 sessions per workstation (G0, G1, and G2). The screen shot printer can be modified here.

I have a member who is not accumulating any Tiered Services points. He doesn't have any delinquent accounts, so why might this be happening?

In the program where we update the rates for Audio Banking, what happens if I change a rate to 0.000% or erase an entire line from the configuration?
If the configuration has a rate of 0.000, Audio Banking will not read any message for that rate, even if one was originally recorded. For example, say you have requested a message to be recorded for item #9 on the configuration, but then you forget to go in and actually enter the rate into your configuration, or you accidentally delete the rate later. That recording will never be read to the member. Once you go in and enter a rate in position 9, then message #9 will be read along with that ra More...

When I am reviewing my BIN configuration on CU*BASE, why are there two fields for ISA Fees (Foreign Conversion Fees) at different percentages and what determines which is used for calculation of this fee?
ISA (Foreign Conversion) Fees have two different calculations based on whether the transaction being processed is being done in US funds ('no conv' as displayed on BIN configuration screen) or will require a conversion from the 'foreign' country's currency to US funds (w/conv as displayed on BIN configuration screen) for processing. The way it is determined which fee should be calculated is within the 'transaction' message that your vendor sends to CU*BASE for process More...

If a loan category is configured for a single payment per period (members are not allowed to pay ahead), at what point does the system know when to advance the next payment date and when it should not?
The system will advance the next payment due date depending on the payments made during the “payment period” window, which runs from due date to due date (which is not always calendar month). Once the next payment period begins, any payments made will count towards the payment amount due until it is fully satisfied, at which point the due date will advance to the next payment period. Payments may still be made during the current payment period; however, any overpayments will be c More...

What does the "Delq Fine in Partial Pay" flag in the loan product configuration govern in relation to delinquent fines?
This flag governs the amount of payment required to advance the due date one frequency. If a CU sets this flag to Yes, only the scheduled payment is necessary to advance the due date. If a CU sets this flag to No, the scheduled payment and the amount of the fine will be necessary to advance the next due date one frequency.

I have a loan that is configured as single payment per period, but it was somehow advanced two payment periods last month. How does this happen?
If the member is delinquent (even by one day), the member is then in the next payment cycle (due date to due date). Therefore, if the member pays the regular payment amount, the loan will advance the date by one period, or by two periods if the amount of the delinquent payment is double the regular payment that is scheduled . For example, John Doe has a Overdraft Protection LOC account that is configured as single payment per period. At the end of September John is due for October 4. John does More...

What happens if I enter a rate into the Audio Banking rate configuration screen but there is no recorded message that goes with that rate?
The following applies only to CUs that do NOT use the Text-To-Speech (TTS) engine for CU*Talk Audio Response. In order to read a rate message to a member in CU*Talk Audio Response, the system must find both a recorded message for that position and a rate greater than 0.000 on the corresponding position in your configuration (Tool #882 Update ARU Interest Rates ). For example, message #1 and rate #1 must both exist in order to read the rate message to the member. Remember that in order for mes More...

If the credit union has configured to use a name as part of their default password setting (B or X), what is used?
Always use the Last Name (LNAME) field. This applies to all accounts. For example, Organizational, Trust, or MO accounts always use what is entered in the Last Name (LNAME) field. The Name ID field is not used.

My member qualifies based on our statement configurations for a Quarterly statement. The member wishes to receive a monthly statement. Is there a way that we can accommodate that member's request to receive a statement every month?
Use of the Force Monthly Statement' option on the member's MASTER record will allow for member to receive a monthly statement instead of the quarterly/annual statement they may qualify for based on your overall statement configuration settings. Remember that this is intended to be used only in rare occasions where there are exceptions to your rules. If you find that your staff is setting this flag on frequently, you might need to (a) revisit your general configuration settings or (b) More...

Can we configure co-signers to print on Periodic Mortgage Statements?
A single co-borrower name will automatically appear (if applicable) in the Account Information section of the mortgage statement. The co-borrower name is pulled from the Additional Signers (ADSL) table using the record with the lowest sequence number. Note: Only one name and address displays in the name/address section at the top of the statement.

How is the configuration of Credit Union Non-Business Days (Tool #243) affected by 7-day processing?
The non-business days configuration, which includes Federal holidays, is used only when calculating the release dates on check holds placed at the teller line or elsewhere. It is not related to 7-day processing. NOTE: Holds are released according to the release date on the individual Uncollected Funds record, regardless of whether daily processing is run on Sunday or not. If an Uncollected Funds record has a release date that falls on a Sunday, the hold is released on Sunday. This will work t More...

Where do the transaction descriptions used for
mortgage payments and escrow transfers come from?
Can the credit union configure what they say?
The transaction description is pulling in from the account suffix description and then uses the origin code and origin type to determine if it was a payment (i.e. ACH or AFT). Those are combined to create the transaction description that appears in the member's history. For example, if your loan product is 360 MORTGAGE and a payment is made, the transaction description might be 360 MORTG PAYMENT. You can use Tool #105 Account Suffix Configuration, choose a suffix and update the trans 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...

Why is my member, who qualifies for my Marketing Club, being charged my Service Charge fee instead of the Marketing Club dues? This member is currently a member in the Marketing Club.
This situation could occur if your credit union charges a Service Charge fee to members who do not belong to a particular Marketing Club. If a member does not have funds to cover the Club dues at the time the dues are posted, this member's status in the Club is changed to P for pending. (This can be confirmed on the TCLUBFEE exception report.) When the Service Charge posting program is run, the member is then charged the Service Charge fee (since the member is not currently active More...
