Access this screen by selecting "Transaction Service Charge Configuration" on the entry Service Charge Configuration screen or when adding a new service charge by selecting "Add" (F5) from this screen.

Introduction

This is the first of several screens used to set up periodic service charges for specific types of transaction activity. One common use is to charge a fee per check cleared from a specific checking product, with a certain number of free items granted each month.  Every individual service charge you configure is called a “Program.” A program number is assigned that controls the basic settings, including when the fee is charged and the types of transactions included, then specific fee parameters are configured.  

  • NOTE:  You are not charged for a service charge until "Activate this service charge program" is checked on the Program Settings screen.

  • IMPORTANT:CU*BASE service charge options are very flexible, and therefore should be discussed with a client service representative prior to implementation. We offer a service to configure and test the fee before the first posting, which generally occurs at month-end. For online clients there is a fee.  Refer to the Pricing Guide for details.  You are not charged a fee until the service charge is activated on this screen.  For programs you are considering running, it is recommended that you first use the Audit feature which produces reports similar to the posting reports, but does not post any fees.

On this screen. for existing Programs, you can view the Application Type, the program title, the frequency, the # of products used, whether the service charge is active, whether a notice is generated when the service charge is charged (this required the notice event to be connected with a notice) and the last date the service charge was maintained and the employee who maintained it.   More details about the Service change can be viewed on the Program Settings  and the Fees and Waivers screens.

  • CU*TIP: Transaction Service charges are “batch” charges, not interactive. This means that the fee is charged to members in a batch during either end-of-day or end-of-month processing, depending on the configuration.
