Accessed by Tool Number: 5368

 

Access this screen via the first credit union master definition screen.

This screen populates the CUMSTRPF Customer Master Profile file that controls many different CU settings, including third-party interfaces.

  • Online credit unions are not able to access this screen. If you would like any of these settings to be changed for your credit union, contact a CU*BASE Client Service Representative. Self Processing credit unions should also consult a Client Service Representative for advice before making changes to these settings. Remember that some features used in a service bureau environment are not appropriate in the in-house environment.

  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Be extremely careful when making changes here. These settings are critical to proper processing of credit union activity and changes may have an unintended ripple effect in other areas.

  • NOTE:  Changes made to these records are recorded in the CUMSTAUDITfile in CUBASEFILE and can be used for research.

Use Update XREF (F9) to set up cross-reference details used by various programs and third-party interfaces, including online bill payment and others.

Rules for Entering the CU Name

The credit union name configured here IS used by online banking to display the credit union's name on the login and community pages. (CU*Archives also uses these names for indexing report data.) Use the following rules when entering the name here so that it will look right to credit union members using online banking:

  • Proper casing is required (Western Credit Union, not WESTERN CREDIT UNION)

  • The name must be complete and correct – don''t use a nickname – don't skip the Federal or the Credit Union part unless you absolutely cannot fit it any other way

  • Examples: MuskegonGovernmental Employees FCU – couldn't fit the Employees but thought the F was more important than the E; East Traverse Catholic FCU - had to leave off the F but thought that was better than just FC.

  • Use abbreviations only when absolutely necessary, according to these guidelines:

  • If Credit Union won't fit, use CU (spell everything else out that you can)

  • If Federal will fit but Credit Union won't, use Federal CU

  • If both Federal and Credit Union won't fit, use FCU

  • If Employees won't fit, try Empl., then ECU or EFCU

  • Look at existing CU names for other examples of abbreviations

This options follows employee security restrictions.

Field Descriptions

Field Name

Description

Credit Union ID

This ID is used to identify your credit union's files on the iSeries. Must be unique among all credit unions using CU*BASE, including self-processors or CU* network partners.

  • For example, files are stored in a library called FILExx, where xx is this credit union ID. Queries are stored in a library called QUERYxx, where xx is this credit union ID. The only exception is in a multi-corp environment, where this ID may be different from the CU file ID (described below) in order to differentiate between the various individual corporations while keeping all membership data in a common FILExx library.

Name

Enter the correct and complete credit union name. This is displayed on the online banking login pages. See above for rules.

This name is displayed on the It's Me 247 login page that members can see. This name is also used by CU*Archives to index credit union data. Changes that are made to credit union names should be communicated to appropriate personnel.

  • NOTE: Credit bureau reporting uses the credit union name from Chart of Accounts configuration (GLMAST).

CU #

This is a unique number that serves as a “customer number” for the credit union's files in CU*BASE. Determined by a CU*BASE conversion specialist upon the credit union's conversion to CU*BASE. Must be unique among all credit unions using CU*BASE, including self-processors or CU* network partners.

Rules

  • 0010 to 0899 reserved for CU*Answers online credit unions

  • 0900-2999 used for check clearing credit unions and possibly more online when we run out of numbers

  • 3000-3799 used for self-processors

  • 3800-3899 for CU*South credit unions

  • 3900-3999 for CU*NorthWest Credit Unions

  • 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000 series numbers are not currently assigned to anyone

  • 8000 series numbers are assigned to credit unions using Federal Deposit services

  • 9000-9999 series numbers are for miscellaneous clients

Online Banking/IVR #

This number is a derivation of the credit union number in the CU # field, and is used as the Credit Union ID when members log into both audio response and online banking.

  • For multi-corp credit union groups, this will be a different number for each corporation in order for members to hear a different greeting/see a different CU logo depending on the credit union to which they belong.

  • IMPORTANT: For a newly-converting CU, this must be set to 999 until after BOD is run on the first live day.

The R&T that is displayed in the Customer Master Database (CMASTER) screen comes from this file.

CU Corp ID

The corporation ID for this credit union. For non-multi-corp credit unions, this will always be 01.

For multi-corp credit union groups, this will be 01 for the main controlling CU, and other CUMSTRPF records will use a different CU# and CU Corp ID number but the same CU file ID as this main controlling CU.

CU file ID

Identify the xx in the credit union's FILExx file library where membership data is stored. This will usually match the Credit Union ID except in a multi-corp environment.

  • NOTE: Cannot use an ID of SC due to naming convention of programs.

For multi-corp credit unions, this would be the shared file library used by all credit unions managed by the group entity. Other CUMSTRPF records will use a different CU Corp ID number but the same CU file ID as this main controlling CU.

R/T#

The credit union's Routing & Transit number as assigned by the Federal Reserve. This must match the R&T number entered in Master CU Parameters (OPER) and Chart of Accounts configuration.  This is used in online banking for pulling check images.

The R&T that is displayed in the Customer Master Database (CMASTER) screen comes from this file.

Online

Check this for an online credit union serviced by CU*Answers or other service bureau; leave unchecked for a self-processing credit union that has its own iSeries.

This flag is used by many different processes in Operations, such as routing daily reports for CU*SPY or archive, among others. (Not used for OUTQ routing.)

  • IMPORTANT: This must be left unchecked (N) until after the first BOD is run for a newly-convertedcredit union.

FIDM state ID

This pertains to the Financial Institution Data Match program. Enter the state abbreviation (such as MI for Michigan) for the state against which the credit union's member data will be compared. Leave the field blank if this credit union's data will not be checked against the FIDM file.

Display on Navigation Window

This classifies the type of library for displaying on the internal CU Navigation Screen which lists the credit union names for selection.

  • NOTE: The CU Navigation Menu screen will not indicate which selection is entered in this field, but if this field is left blank, the credit union will not appear in the listing.

Available entries include:

  • <Blank> - will not display on the internal Credit Union Navigation screen

  • O – Online client

  • P - Partner

  • S – Self-Processor

  • T – Test

Available for processing

This flag controls how this credit union file library will be handled during certain daily processes, including the near real-time e-Alerts system. All online credit unions must be set to A=Available. Self processors should also set this to A for the file ID of their live online credit union ID.

  • IMPORTANT: This should never be set manually to S=Stand-in. However, the system will cycle this to S for stand-in automatically during stand-in processing, then back to A when stand-in is done.

For self-processors only: The record for your training library needs to be set differently. For ID 99, set this flag to N=Never. This prevents e-Alerts from being sent from your training library (FILE99). (If you still use FILEXX as a training library, where XX is not your credit union ID, then make this same change but to your XX training library entry.)

  • IMPORTANT: If your credit union setting is N=Never, do not change the setting to A=Available without the assistance of a Client Services Representative. Care will need to be taken so that previously unsent e-Alerts are not sent.
