Normally when serving a member, you would use Tool #31 Reverse Tran/Adjust Drawer (Same Day) to reverse the transaction and correct the drawer, then run the check through properly via in-house checks. But when serving non-members, this tool doesn't work as there isn't a member transaction to reverse. But you do need to correct the teller drawer to remove that item so it can be run through again properly without causing an out-of-balance condition in the drawer. Therefore, you will need  More...

Unfortunately, no. This is incompatible with the way the underlying non-member database architecture works. In a nutshell, the non-member data table (MSNONMBR) is set up so that the SSN/TIN is the key piece of identifying data that separates one non-member record from another (it’s actually often referred to as “the key to the file”). The SSN/TIN is also what links a non-member to other memberships, via things such as secondary names (for joint owner and beneficiary relation  More...

IMPORTANT NOTE: When It’s Me 247 was updated in 2021, the “See” option shown on here was made unavailable.

To take advantage of the CU*Answers online imaging solution, there are a few required pieces of hardware. Each branch will each need an Gweep upload appliance to transfer the electronic images to the secure database. Additionally, scanners are needed to capture photo IDs (and supporting documents for loans), and signature pads are needed at each workstation where receipts are signed. Thermal printers are required for the system. These hardware devices are described in more detail below: Gweep U  More...

If you or your member notice an account is not being updated (or the additional signer on a loan) you should first try to find out if the loan/additional signer was included in the file sent over to the bureau. You can do this for the most recent reporting cycle by running Tool #658 Print Loan Info Sent to Credit Bureau . If the member loan/additional signer information (defined by METRO 2 as the J1 segment or J2 Segment) is present in that file you need to look further into the following types  More...

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...

If you: A) automatically deactivate online banking access for all new members, and B) expire online banking passwords due to non-use after 90 days, then how do you run an online banking promotion? After all, sending a marketing piece to members won't do any good if they're disabled or locked out from logging in. Of course you could have them call the credit union to get set up, but here's another idea: Set up a special promotional period! Pick a date to start your campaign. Advert  More...
