Screen Overview

For example, suppose a member has a disbursement limit of $5,000, but does not wish the entire amount at one time. Instead, he chooses to have $1,000 in a credit union check made payable to his brother, and a $500 transfer to his checking account. At the same time, you may also deduct a loan processing fee of $10.00 and transfer it to the proper G/L account.

Adding Loan Instructions for a Check

You can add instructions to have cut a check, for example a dealer check. Funds are transferred to the G/L account specified in the Master Configuration used to generate a draft payable at the credit union to use as a sort of “pre-approval” documentation at a car dealership.)

When you enter instructions for credit card loans, you will need to enter the following extra fields listed below. CU*TIP: If this check needs to be made out to one of your indirect lending partners (i.e., a car dealer), use the Pay to Dealer button to search your Indirect/Dealer Lending list and automatically fill in the Pay to fields with the name and address from that database.

Remitter	This field is blank on entry. Enter the name (if any) to be printed as the remitter name on the printed check.

Once you have completed the instructions, use Add to add them.

Pay to Fraud Block List

A Pay to Name fraud block list scan is run against the name entered in the Pay to line for a check transfer. Take care to enter the Pay to name in a way that the scan will most effectively be run. If the Pay To Name is a match or partial match to the name in the block list, you will see a Suspect warning message.

My “pay to” name that I am running against a fraud list has a common word, for example LLC, Co., Inc., Incorporated, or Company. What should I enter in the Pay to line?

Adding Loan Instructions for a G/L Transfer

You can enter instructions to have funds transferred to a credit union G/L account, such as an account for loan processing fees. Once you have completed the instructions, use Add to add them.

NOTE: If using this method, you may use the lookup to find the Miscellaneous Receipt code you have configured for this purpose, for example, a title fee code. If no code has been configured, enter “999” and use the 5-digit G/L Account field to enter an actual general ledger account number.

Adding Loan Instructions for a Member Transfer

You can enter instructions to have funds transferred directly to a member account. Select Member Transfer from the drop down and then enter the transfer to account. Once you have completed the instructions, use Add to add them.

NOTE: If using this method, be sure to enter the member account number. (If transferring to an IRA account type, enter an IRA code. If transferring to an HSA account, enter an HSA code.)

When Post All is selected, the system will stop the posting until the account is no longer frozen. For closed accounts, another account will need to be used. Disbursement instructions can be deleted and new added, or the instructions can be edited. If the transfer is to an IRA and the transfer causes the IRA to exceed its transfer limit, a warning will appear both when the instructions are added and when they are posted. If you still wish to post the transaction, you will need to override the warning.
