Lock Box Conversion Information

[Go Back]

This Transition Update provides important information about transitioning to Catalyst Corporate’s Lock Box processing service. Credit unions using Western Bridge Corporate’s Lock Box service will be converted individually to the Catalyst service. All conversions must be completed before May 14, 2012.

Catalyst Corporate staff will help lead your credit union through the conversion process.

Before conversion, credit unions will be asked to:

  • Complete TranZact enrollment and training, for administrators and all required users. A letter was sent to all account-holders in January to initiate the TranZact enrollment process. To access that information, visit catalystcorp.org/westernwelcome. To register for training, visit catalystcorp.org/westerntrain and scroll until you see Lock Box Training. Four online sessions are offered during April.
  • Consult credit union technical support staff to determine if your credit union uses IP address restrictions in your firewall. The conversion will result in new Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for a range of internet-based services, including Lock Box. Later this month your credit union will receive a detailed listing of services and their IP addresses along with instructions for making the changes, if necessary.
  • Complete the Lock Box Set-up Form provided by Catalyst Corporate.
  • Submit Lock Box coupons to Catalyst Corporate’s Lock Box service provider.
  • Receive one or more payment files for testing and validation.

After conversion, credit unions will be asked to:

  • Access TranZact for viewing images and account activity.
  • Continue to use the same P.O. Box used today for payments processed by Western Bridge Corporate.

On behalf of each credit union, Catalyst Corporate will:

  • Test the processing of credit union Lock Box coupons and items.
  • Ensure seamless transition of existing processes, including use of existing Lock Box addresses, provided by Western Bridge Corporate.
  • Receive, edit, and process all Western Bridge Lock Box deposits according to member requirements.
  • Provide credit unions with a payment file(s) in credit union specific formats.
  • Send properly formatted X9.100 image exchange files for collection.
  • Provide daily reporting of settlement totals.
  • Provide a Deposit Detail Report (DDR) of deposited items for reconcilement.
  • Provide image archive services to support online image retrieval.

To begin the process, please complete the Lock Box Set-up Form. Once completed, return to: contactus@catalystcorp.org or fax to: 214.703.7905

Following receipt of your set up form, a member of the Catalyst Corporate team will contact you to answer your questions and assist with implementation. In the meantime do not hesitate to contact us with your questions or concerns at: contactus@catalystcorp.org or visit the Product Information page.
