Screen Overview
This screen allows you to open a savings account. There will be a slight variation in the fields to be completed depending on whether you are opening a regular savings or an IRA or HSA savings account.
Use Procedures (F21) to see a list of credit union-defined policies and procedures pertaining to opening this account.
Use Work Checklist (F18) to move to work the checklist for this dividend application. This will allow you to “check off” items on the checklist when opening the account. This checklist can be used by your Member Service team to ensure each member receives the same level of service. (If this is your base (000) account, this checklist is also used as the membership checklist for the Open/Closed Dashboard.) SEE ALSO: Creating Checklists for information on configuring this list.
Planning for the Next Steps Upon Opening the Account
The blue box in the upper-right corner of the screen lets you choose where to proceed after you use Create (F5) to open the new account:
-
Check Secondary names to proceed to the Secondary Names Linked to This Account screen and add new joint owners, misc. owners, or beneficiaries to the new account.
-
Check Account nickname to proceed to the Nicknames screen, to add a nickname to the account. (Does not appear when opening an IRA savings account.)
-
Check Custom fields to proceed to the Custom Account Information screen to add custom field content to the account.
When done, use Create (F5) to open the account. If any TIS disclosures or other Misc. Member Account Forms have been defined and attached to this product, a window will appear to allow you to choose a printer. Your Employee ID will automatically be recorded in the account record as the MSR who opened the account.
Effective Dating Accounts at Account Opening
Want to effective date this
account and select an open date prior to the current day? If you have
missed opening an account on a Friday, for example, on Monday you can
change the Open Date to match the date the member actually intended for
the account to be opened on the system. Use Unlock
Fields (F23) or click the 
button on the screen next to the open date field and the Open Date field
will become an input-capable field, allowing you to enter the correct
date. (We have even added a 90 day reasonability check to ensure you don’’t
type in the wrong year!) The Open Date is the only field that is changed.
The last maintenance date will remain the current date. The members statement
will include a zero dollar transaction that the account was opened on
the current date for the selected date (and thus the last trans date in
MEMBER1 will also be the current date).
