What does it mean on the first Abnormal Activity pattern configuration screen when you elect to include only shared branch transaction, only RDC transactions, or only P2P transactions?
The following transactions are included if you use these qualifiers: NOTE: These are AND qualifiers, meaning both things must be true in order for the account to be listed in the monitoring tool. Shared Branch Transactions: Only allowed if Origin code 1 (Teller Processing) is selected. This includes: Shared Branch transactions with Origin 1 (Teller Processing) made by your members who are banking at another Xtend Shared Branching credit unions.

What types of patterns can you create for Abnormal Activity Monitoring?
The following types of patterns can be created: Velocity : This evaluates if the member has an unusual amount of transactions that fall within the criteria configured. Idle : This evaluates if the member has an unusual flurry of activity (either based on # of transactions, transaction type, or transaction amount) following a period of inactivity. Out of the ordinary : This evaluates if the member has a percent or amount increase compared to a prior activity.

How can you “practice” to see if a pattern will return any results?
The configuration ( Tool #101: Abnormal Activity Monitoring Config ) allows you to run a test of a pattern that you have configured. In this manner, you can see the results without running all the patterns in the monitoring side ( Tool #537: Monitor Abnormal Transaction Activity ). In this test mode, you have a limited number of buttons, but you can print the results. AuditLink is currently offering monthly webinars about the Abnormal Activity Tool. Watch for future communications.

Why can't everything in CU*Talk be read in Spanish?
There are four ways that information is communicated to the caller in CU*Talk: Static Audio Prompts/Custom Prompts – these are the CU-defined welcome messages, hours and locations. (NO SPANISH OPTION CURRENTLY.) Text to Speech – a custom option for the credit union in which information is grabbed from CU*BASE and communicated via a text to speech program in CU*Talk. This can include the welcome message, hours and locations, and rate descriptions and their corresponding rates. (NO SPA 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...

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.

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 answer depends on the payment period window, which runs from due date to due date (not calendar month). This is best illustrated by an example: A member has a loan with a monthly payment due date of July 25. A payment is made on June 30, advancing the due date to August 25. If another full payment is then made before July 25, the due date will not advance, because the loan is still within that same payment period window. If a full payment is made after July 25 (even if it's still in More...

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...

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 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.

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...

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...

When looking at the ATM/Debit or Credit Card Activity screen, what does the indicator in the Type and Transaction Description mean?
The fields are related to Process Codes, in that they are derived from the code attached to the message received from the plastics processor (vendor, or switch). The Type you see in the initial Type column of the Activity screen relates directly to the Transaction Description when you view additional transaction details. Transaction types may not apply to all vendors. Examples of these labels are as follows: DEP (Deposit Transactions) ATM/DEP A deposit made at an ATM. ATM/DEP - including a $ More...

When should I suppress a Reversed transaction to keep it from appearing on a member's statement?
Our recommendation is to suppress the transaction if it is the last transaction for that day. If there are transactions after that, do not suppress the transaction. It will affect the running balance shown on the member's statements. TIP: When you do decide to suppress a transaction, we recommend you place an asterisk (*) in front of the transaction description. When a credit union employee looks at transaction history, it will be easy to see that this transaction has been suppressed and More...

Why did a member who has elected to opt out per Reg. E receive a non-return fee on a debit card transaction?
In many cases, the reason an opted-out member receives the non-return fee is because this transaction is a recurring payment. Recurring transactions are not covered by the Reg. E Opt In/Out requirements. You can identify this by the * after the DBT/WDR trans description on the member's transaction history. Recurring transactions are posted and fee'd even if the member is Opted Out.

Can I change the transaction description that appears on a specific member transaction?
Yes. Use Tool #918 Update Trans Desc IRA/HSA Post Codes, choose the appropriate suffix, then change the description. You can also add an additional line (secondary transaction description) in addition to the primary description. These changes will become a permanent part of the member's transaction history and will appear in CU*BASE transaction history screens as well as in online banking. Remember that changes will NOT affect member statements (including e-statements) that have alre More...

Why does CU*BASE require two steps to perform a teller correction - deleting an audit key and completing a member transaction reversal?
Because of CU*BASE design to integrate directly to the general ledger is one of its most impressive features, the teller system needs to process as its own section. In order to discourage inaccurate or misleading transaction reversals or back-dating, the dual system segreates the teller drawer (cash) from the member transactions and balances. If the two steps are not completed correctly, the general ledger will be out of balance. Fortunately you can use Tool #31 Reverse Tran/Adjust Drawer (Same More...
