Secure
Appplications for Loans and other apps.
If
your online apps or forms are not SECURE, the auditors will see this as
a major problem. We have a secure website application database program
available. This database includes a loan app that your members can complete
so that you can access it online, SECURELY via an SSL page. This database
can also be used for other customer forms and apps as you need them. You
don’t have to purchase an additional SSL certificate to use this
service. We provide a shared SSL for your forms and online apps. The cost
for this service is $199 onetime setup fee and just $12 per month ($144
annually). There is no limit on the number of applications that you can
receive through this database. If we host and maintain your website there
is no additional monthly fee for this service.
Click
Here to see a demo of the loan application. If you would like to see
the Credit Union Management side of the database, please complete our
feedback form and be sure to ask about the
CU Loan Apps. The CU Management is where you would log in to view your
apps and print them in a secure manner. |

Loan,
Savings, and Mortgage Calculators.
Do your members need
to be able to calculate a loan payment, or a mortgage payment with an
amortization schedule, or calculate a periodic savings plan to help them
plan for the future? The cost for these calculators is just a $149 onetime
setup fee with NO monthly cost. These are for our website hosting customers
only. |

CarFax
Record Checks and Reports.
For our website customers
only! Have us place a Carfax Record Check link on your website and you
can get your invoice discounted for every Carfax Report that is ordered
through your website. There is no charge to put carfax on your site. Here
is how the CarFax link works.
1. CarFax offer several free services that are very advantageous for your
members. These include a Lemon Check, Record Check, Recall Check, and
a Problem Car Report for the area in which someone might be looking for
a vehicle.
Once a member runs
one of these services to see if there a "hit" they will be presented
with the option to run a full carfax report. For instance, if you run
a record check on a VIN, it will tell you if there are any records for
that vehicle in their database. Records in the CARFAX Vehicle History
Report™ reveal important information that can affect your decision
about a car. This can include:
Prior salvage, flood,
or total loss reported to CARFAX;
Accidents reported to CARFAX;
Number of owners;
Odometer readings;
Service records;
Registration and title information…and more!
So then if the your member wants to see the records, they would have to
pay for a report. The cost is $24.99 for 1 report, or $29.99 for up to
10 reports in a 30 day period or $34.99 for unlimited number of reports
in a 30 day period. This would probably be worth it for a customer to
purchase the 10 reports for $29.99 because when shopping for cars they
could get reports on up to 10 different cars which would be a cost of
just $2.99 each. At that point is when the carfax system collects payment
from the member if they want a report.
We can create a link on your website that your loan officers could use
or at least provide/recommend to your membership. As part of this your
credit union can collect a $2.50 commission for every paid carfax report
that a member runs, or we can apply this as a credit towards your annual
hosting and maintenance fees. Let us know if you want this service set
up for you. Try it below. Have a repo? Is a member buying a used car and
you don't know where it came from? Check any VIN by using the Record Check
Below. Never
Buy a Used Car Without CARFAX
!
There is
no cost to the credit union and the Setup is FREE!

| About
Us and Our relationships with credit unions:
Internet
Computing Solutions has provided credit union web site hosting since 1999.
We have provided computer and network consulting services for credit unions
since 1996 and have worked in the financial and insurance industries since
1983.
Given
our background and experience we have a unique understanding of the ever-changing
regulations and requirements of providing web site hosting for credit
unions. We also understand the credit union business. We have worked directly
with NCUA and independent auditors to ensure that our credit union websites
are within compliance guidelines.
The
following are some of the topics and guidelines that need to be taken
into account when creating and maintaining a credit union website.
Facility,
Equipment and Hosting Issues:
- Our
hosting facilities meet the highest level of security requirements for
providing web site hosting for Credit Unions. Including 24 hour monitoring
by onsite technicians, electronic access control systems and security
cameras, network and equipment redundancy, enterprise level uninterruptible
power supplies, Liebert environmental control systems, and diesel generators
for extended emergency power.
- Data
backups are generated on a nightly basis. Also a backup is maintained
"off-site" for disaster recovery purposes.
- Our
email servers provide both spam filtering capbilities and virus protection
and support the use of Secure Digital Certificates.
- We
use 128-bit SSL certificates for website data encryption as needed.
- Website
updates and changes, if maintained by us, are only accepted from designated
persons and must be submitted in writing (via email or fax) to ensure
the accuracy of the credit union information.
Compliance
Issues:
Internet Computing
Solutions works with all of our credit union customers to ensure compliance.
If and when we receive updated compliance information concerning any of
our credit union websites, we review all of our credit union websites
to ensure that all of them are compliant with the auditors. Below are
some of the most common compliance issues overlooked by most web site
hosting companies that simply don't have the experience to ensure your
website compliance.
-
Your Share insurance logos whether by NCUA or some other Share Insurance
provider must be on your home page and on each page that mentions a
deposit account.
- If
your credit union does real estate loans, an equal (or fair) housing
logo must be on the home page and on each page that mentions mortgages.
- If
you state an interest rate for a loan, the APR must be stated. Annual
Percentage Rate must be spelled out somewhere on the page. Most websites
when stating rates will have a column for APR* then state *Annual Percentage
Rate on the bottom of the page.
- If
you advertise a Credit Card, the annual fee and other terms for each
type must be disclosed, ie: the Schumer box must be displayed.
- For
Home Equity Loans your HE Disclosures should be on the website and any
variable rate features, loan origination and interest points must be
disclosed.
-
For All Loan Rates, the rate must be referenced as an APR and if you
specify a term, a payment example page must be disclosed. You should
create a seperate payment example page for evey loan type and term that
you advertise.
- On
Savings Rate Pages and Certificate Pages you should use the term "Dividend
Rates" when describing your rates. DO NOT use "Certificate
of Deposits" or "CD" anywhere. You must specify at least
the APY and that the term APY stands for Annual Percentage Yield. You
must specify Minimum Balance requirements and terms and should disclose
on all Savings or Share pages that discusses paying dividends: "All
savings and investment dividend rates other than certificates are variable
rates."
- For
Online Loan Apps, you should determine if it complies with Reg. Z.,
Reg B., and W-9 requirements. Reg. Z pertains to credit cards, the Schumer
box and mortgages that require certain disclosures. Reg B. regulates
equal credit. You should not require a spouse as a comaker and do not
omit child support and alimony language when requesting other income.
- If
you place 3rd party links on your credit union website or offer services
that are provided by a 3rd party link on your credit union website,
you must first display an appropriate disclosure allowing the visitor
to "opt-out" of being redirected to that 3rd party website.
