The Internet Branching sites have been put back online. If you have any issues please call CBS.

Special Note: if you are setup as an Administrator or an Employee in the Internet Branching site your password has been changed by CBS. Administrators must call CBS for the new passwords.

Thanks for your patience on Monday, April 23rd as CBS was investigating continued Phishing attempts on various customers Internet Branching sites. Based upon customer feedback and intrusion attempts at various hosting sites, CBS made the decision to "take down" all customers Internet Branching sites until such time that we could further investigate these intrusion attempts and add additional security monitoring. This decision was done in the interest of all Internet Branching users in order to maintain the security of their Personal Identifying Information. Please continue to inform your members that your credit union will never request any ATM, Debit Card, Credit Card information nor any PIN, Password information via the Internet or email.

CBS intends to have ongoing security maintenance associated with the Internet Branching sites and we ask for your patience as we work to further strengthen the security. We will continue to minimize any down time and we will keep you informed of any scheduled and unscheduled maintenance that may be required. Please keep your members advised of these potential interruptions.

Thank you.

Excessive Deposits/Withdrawals Report

CAMS-ii Release 2.3.0 included a Control-Master Parameter setting (Back Office > Standard > Parameters), Secondary Cash Transaction To Report, that was populated with a value of zero. This caused the Excessive Deposits and Withdrawals Report to be much longer than necessary.

Secondary Cash Transaction To Report parameter tells the system to add entries to the Excessive Deposits and Withdrawals Report when a member has transactions that exceed a certain amount cumulatively over a fixed period of time. For example: A member makes five cash transactions any one of which do not exceed the single transaction limit of $3,000.00 in the Minimum Cash Transaction To Report setting (Back Office > Standard > Parameters), but the transactions total $13,000.00 over the fixed period of time. This may be suspicious activity that should be scrutinized as structured transactions by the Bank Secrecy Act, even though no single transaction exceeds the Minimum Cash Transaction To Report setting.

We recommend that you set the Secondary Cash Transaction To Report parameter to an amount consistent with Bank Secrecy Act guidance on Structured Transactions. Please consult regulatory guidance on the Bank Secrecy Act if you have any questions on Structured Transactions.

If you have any questions about the Excessive Deposits and Withdrawals Report or the Cash Transaction to Report parameters, please address your questions to support@camsbycbs.com.
