Accessing the Customer Platform

Practical Applications

1. What are the default character requirements for User IDs and Passwords on the Customer Platform?

2. What does a Company Administrator do if they forget their User ID and/or Password?

3. Can a Company Administrator get locked out of Business Banking? If so, how does this affect the other users at the company?

4. What does an end user do if they forget their User ID and/or Password? What do they do if they get locked out?

Setting up Users



Current User: The dropdown list lets you choose a user to modify.

New: Click this button to create a new user.

User Name: This is the user’s name and is accessible on this screen only.

User ID: This is the ID that the user will use to log in to the system.

Password/Confirm: This is the temporary password that the user will enter when logging in for the first time. The system cross-checks the Password and Confirm fields to help eliminate typographical errors.

Email: This is the user’s email address. System-generated email messages intended for this user will be directed to this address.

Unlock User: Clears the invalid login count so the user is able to access Business Banking again. This button only displays if the user is locked out.

NOTE: Only the Company Administrator and User Administrators have access to this screen.

Administration – User Maintenance – User Profile Maintenance



Administration – User Maintenance – User Profile Maintenance (cont’d)

Account List: Business Banking Services that have been enabled for your financial institution during Implementations display in each column. Accounts that have been enabled by your financial institution in the FI Admin Platform display in each row. A checked box in a row/column position indicates that the user has permission to use that column’s service on that row’s account.The first company listed is the primary company. If any secondary companies have been tied to the primary company, access those accounts by clicking the + sign.

NOTE: Some services cannot be used with some account types. The system automatically disables the checkboxes in such cases, so you cannot inadvertently assign an invalid permission.




Administration: Only the Company Administrator can enable the following permissions:

User Administrator: Check this box to allow the user to have access to most Administrative functions (excluding Sweeps). This permission includes: User Profile Maintenance (the ability to add, edit or delete other users), Activity Reporting, Balance Alerts, Account Maintenance, Change Company Password, Change Timeout.

User Profile Approver: Check this box to designate this User Administrator as an approver for when the Company Administrator or another User Administrator add, edits, or deletes a user. When the User Profile Approver adds, edits, or deletes a user, the Company Administrator or another User Profile Approver must approve the action. NOTE: If User Profile Maintenance was checked of by the financial institution for this company, the Company Administrator must set up least two users as "User Administrators" with the "User Profile Approver" permission.

Suppress Email Approval Request: Check this box to prevent the system from generating an email to the User Administrator Approver upon another administrator adding, editing, or deleting a user.

NOTE: The ‘User Profile Approver’ and ‘Suppress Email Approval Request’ options only display if “User Profile Maintenance Approval Required” was checked in FIAP Maintenance Add New Customer.



Balance Reporting

Allow Balance Reporting: Check this box to allow the user access to the Balance Reporting module. This includes viewing account balances, creating and running reports, and searching for transactions.

Book Transfer

Allow Book Transfer: Check this box to allow the user access to the Book Transfer module. This includes setting up one-time, future-dated, and recurring transfers.

Best practice is to grant initiation and approval rights to different user profiles. Fraud can be deflected if the initiation and approval steps are performed using different login credentials at different computers, even if this is the same person.

Administration – User Maintenance – User Profile Approval/Activity

User Profile Approval Activity: Allows the Company Administrator and any other users, that have been selected as a User Profile Approver, to approve and/or deny any new, updated, or deleted user profiles. The Company Administrator and/or User Profile Approver can not approve or deny profiles that they have added, updated, or deleted as these profile's 'Approve' and 'Deny' checkboxes will be grayed out. The Company Administrator or another User Profile Approver will need to approve/deny these profiles.

NOTE: This screen will only display to the Company Administrator and/or users that have been selected as a User Profile Approver.



Administration – Activity Reporting

Activity Reporting: Allows the Company Administrator and User Administrator to report on the activity of the company's users in the system.



Administration – Activity Reports

Saved Reports: You can greatly streamline the process of producing frequently-used reports by setting up a report once and saving the parameters for future use.

Date Selection: The first selection to indicate in a report is the date range. You may choose from the current week’s log file up or any of the previous five week’s log files or you may specify a date range.

Query Selection: You can specify that all activities should be reported or you can narrow the scope of the report with the use of queries. The two queries can be run simultaneously in order to pull two report types at once. Within each level of query, there are four selection criteria: transaction type, field to search, field value, and a logical operator to tie the fields together. (Don’t forget to use your wildcard feature!)

Presentation Selection: This is the final section needed to create a report, as it identifies the form and format of the report. This is where reports can be saved, viewed on screen, or downloaded for future reference. We recommend using the download feature for reports with 200 or more records.



Sweeps: Allows the Company Administrator to set up automated sweeps on accounts in order to keep balances within specified limits. When the specified threshold is reached, the system transfers enough money between the specified accounts to bring the account back to the threshold amount and sends an email message to indicate the activity.

Your financial institution sets the run time(s) for sweeps. On a run, the system automatically checks the criteria for sweeps and performs a transfer if the criteria is met and the funds are available. •Batch clients: Run time should be set for just once a day, one hour prior to your IFS export file is required. •Multi Batch clients: Run time(s) can be set up to five (5) times per day, one hour prior to each IFS export file. •Hybrid clients: Run time(s) can be set up to five (5) times throughout the day, the last run must be the host daily processing cut-off. •Real-Time clients: Run time(s) can be set up to five (5) times throughout the day, the last one must be before the host daily processing cut-off.

NOTE: Sweeps are managed by Intuit Financial Services' SRT (Scheduled and Recurring Transfers) engine, which is the automated program that checks account balances on business banking days and either transfers money or sends an alert.

Administration – Sweeps



Balance Alerts: Allows the Company Administrator and User Administrator to receive automated alert emails when a specified account balance reaches a specified threshold. The email notification is sent to the email address provided for the alert.

Your financial institution sets the run time(s) for alerts. On a run, the system automatically checks the criteria set up on this screen and sends out any email alerts/notifications as necessary.

Batch clients: Run time should be set just once a day, on the hour following the time you send your import file to IFS.

Multi Batch clients: Run time(s) can be set up to five (5) times per day, on the hour following the time you send each import file to IFS.

Hybrid clients: Run time(s) can be set up to five (5) times throughout the day.

Real-Time clients: Run time(s) can be set up to five (5) times throughout the day.

NOTE: Alerts are managed by Intuit Financial Services' SRT (Scheduled and Recurring Transfers) engine, which is the automated program that checks account balances on business banking days and either transfers money or sends an alert.

Administration – Balance Alerts



Account Maintenance: Allows the Company Administrator and User Administrator to rename any of the available accounts. All references to the account within the Business Banking system will use this descriptive name. This descriptive name is also transmitted to the FI Admin Platform.

Administration – Account Maintenance



Administration – Login Credentials – Change Company Password

Change Company Password: Allows the Company Administrator and User Administrator to change the Company Password at any time.

The default password requirements are 8 to 16 characters in length. The Company Password does not expire.

NOTE: The Company Administrator or User Administrator is prompted to change the Company Password anytime it has been reset by the financial institution.

Remember, the financial institution may choose to disable the Company Password on the login screen. In that case, this screen is not an option in the Admin menu.

Although this password doesn’t expire, higher security is gained when the business routinely changes this and when an employee leaves the business.



Change User Password: Allows the user to change their User Password at any time. An email notification of the change is sent to user.

The default password requirements are 6 to 16 characters in length.

NOTE: Users are prompted to change their password after they have been reset by the Company Administrator and/or User Administrator or after the specified amount of days, set by the financial institution, has elapsed.

Administration – Login Credentials – Change User Password

Below is a list of some common password choices to avoid:• Name, or family member’s name, or pet’s name• Social Security, Account, Phone #s• Any part of physical address• Anybody’s birth date• Other information that is easily obtained• Any username on the computer in any form• A word in the English or foreign dictionary• A password used on another site• Any of the above spelled backwards• Out of Wallet or Public Records (e g Mother’s maiden name)• Sequences: “12345678,” “222222,” “abcdefg”



Change Email Address: Allows the user to change their own email address at any time. An email notification of the change is sent to the old email address and to the new email address, as well as to the Company Administrator.

This will not change any email addresses associated with any Sweeps, Alerts, Recurring Transfers previously setup by the user. Furthermore, this does not impact MFA email addresses,

The financial institution can disable this feature under Polices in the FI Admin Platform.

MFA note: If MFA is enabled for the Customer Platform, this email address is NOT the one tied to MFA. MFA emails are indicated on the User Profile Maintenance screen.

Administration – Login Credentials – Change Email Address



Administration – User Preferences

Change User Preferences: Allows the user to establish which screen they wish to have the system display upon logging in to the system. Typically, a user would choose the screen they use most often.



Administration – Change Timeout

Change Timeout: Allows the Company Administrator and User Administrator to determine how long the Business Banking system will remain active without any interaction from the browser. Once the timeout limit has expired, the system will become dormant and the user is required to log in again.

NOTE: This is a global setting that applies to ALL company users.
