Grand Rapids, MI – July 26th, 2011
CU*Answers says that earlier this year it made some exciting changes to its Online Banking Community (OBC) and the login page to It’s Me 247 Online Banking.
The CUSO says that the changes were designed to provide members with a friendlier, easier to use login page while providing credit unions with more flexibility over what their members see. The Online Banking community, referred to as ‘OBC’ is part of the It’s Me 247 site that provides members with detailed information on what can be done in online banking. Unlike It’s Me 247 online help, the OBC describes the various services right on the screen and lets members know how to get started. The redesign of the site includes the addition of banner ads to the login page that can direct members to a number of places, including the credit union’s website, and comes with a default package of 4 generic messages. For credit unions participating with the CU*OverDrive marketing program, these ads are updated per package details.
Other enhancements for It’s Me 247 can be found at https://www.cuanswers.com/kitchen/im247_enhancements.php.

CU*Answers, a 100% credit union-owned provider of data processing services, has announced it will be implementing changes to It’s Me 247, and will no longer support access to the online banking platform via IE5 or IE6.
According to the CUSO, this decision was made due to the rapidly changing needs of the Internet, and Microsoft ending mainstream support for these versions, including the implementation of important security updates for these outdated browsers.
CU*Answers has said that effective Monday, October 4, these browsers will no longer be supported.
A series of recommendations have been made which stress the importance of credit unions communicating this change and alternative solutions available to their members (updating their browser to a supported version or downloading another supported browser such as Safari, Firefox, or Google Chrome). Additionally, the CUSO has offered to assist by either sending an electronic message (email/online banking) via Member Connect, a service provided by the Xtend CUSO, as well as placing an article on the Online Banking Community (OBC) page that members see when they login.
The CUSO says that It’s Me 247 already presents a message every time a member logs on with an out of date browser that encourages them to upgrade, and that the Online Banking Use Agreement presented to members states, “Your computer must have installed browser software which utilizes appropriate security protections.”

The private blog was created with the intention that clients and partners of CUSO Development Company may collaborate on opportunities and share ideas regarding best practices.
“The new blog was styled to look like CUSO Development Company’s existing website but was actually recreated on WordPress with SiteControl Management System,” stated Web Services Manager, David Damstra.
