Self-Processors

An IBM iSeries Box

Welcome to CU*Answers section on our website dedicated to our Self-Processors. We created these pages to bring all of the information together that we think would be good for a self-processing Credit Unions to know. As you take the time to look through each page you may recognize that some of the general information is to be found on other pages. You will also find information that will help you manage your technology and operations center. These pages will help you with some best practices to maintain your network, PC’s and operating systems. Also, if you look under the Managing your operations link you can find suggestions on running your Operations center.

We like to think of our Operations Center as the heart of CU*Answers. You, just like us, will have your own Operations Center and will be responsible for running your daily, monthly, and yearly run tasks. Check out our links to learn more to help your Credit Union reach its potential.
