User category

There are three user categories: primary administrator, secondary administrator, employee.When your business is registered for AccèsD Affaires, the branch provides a user code for the primary administrator. The primary administrator is an employee who has access to the entire range of services set up with your branch. There can be only one primary admin-istrator per company. The primary administrator defines user accounts and the services that are available to each of them, provides assistance to users and is the liaison between the business and the AccèsD Affaires Services. The primary administrator may create second-ary administrators and employee accounts.

The secondary administrator only has access to the services defined by the primary administrator. The secondary administrator provides assistance to other users and creates new user accounts. It is important that your company appoint at least one secondary admin-istrator in anticipation of situations where the primary administrator is unable to assist other users or authorize transactions that require two signatures.

The primary and secondary users may create employee accounts and determine the servic-es that are accessible to them. They may not grant access rights that are broader than their own. Employee users do not necessarily need to be company employees (for example, you may grant access to your accountant).

A primary administrator can only be added by the branch.Primary and secondary administrators can add users.Primary administrators can add secondary administrators or employee users.Secondary administrators cannot create employee users.Employee users cannot create other users.

Secondary administrators and employee users can have the same access rights (or less) as the primary administrator, but their access rights can never be broader.

You can never grant access rights that are larger than your own.

User details

User details provide information about you. This information can be changed. The mother’s maiden name is used to identify users when they call 1 866 7ACCESD, code 239. User can find out what their access rights are. To change these access rights, users can contact their administrator (or their branch, if they are the primary administrator).

User Codes

Each user has his own user code and password that is determined by the system when the user account is created. The primary administrator gives the password to the user. This information should be kept confidential.

Creating or changing your password b04

When you log on for the first time, you will have to choose a confidential password to re-place the temporary one you received.

Users can change their password at any time.

If the user enters the wrong password three times in a row when logging on, it will be deacti-vated and they will no longer have access to the system. They must then contact the admin-istrator who is authorized to reactivate the password. Primary administrators who forget their own passwords must contact the E-commerce Services Support Group to reactivate it.

Changing your password

1. Select the Personalize tab, then Change password. 2. Enter your password in the appropriate field. 3. Enter your password again and click on the Validate button.

The primary administrator can reactivate a password for all users.

The secondary administrator can reactivate a password only for an employee account.

A user cannot reactivate his own password and must ask someone with the appropriate ac-cess rights to do so.

Information about your session b05

When you click Quit, you will see a list of all the monetary transactions that were made during your session, as well as a confirmation number for each one. Keep these numbers – they can help you trace your transactions in the future.

Sign transactions b06

If your firm requires two signatures for transactions greater than a set amount, and you make a transaction for an amount exceeding that limit, the transaction will be placed on hold, pending a signature; AccèsD Affaires will inform you of this. Please ensure that trans-actions awaiting signatures are approved, or they will not be carried out.

Several companies require two signatures to authorize a transaction. AccèsD Affaires offers this option. If this is not one of your options but you would like to have it, contact your branch. If you chose the One signature option, all transactions in all the folios in AccèsD Affaires will be carried out with a single signature, even though these folios require two signatures for transactions made at the branch.

If you chose the Two signatures option, transactions made in folios requiring just one sig-nature will still only require one signature. All transfers from folios requiring two signatures will require two signatures. When selecting the Two signatures option, you determined a monetary limit, above which a second signature would be required. Transactions for an amount lower than the minimum will not require a second signature.

When users register a transaction (online or in deferred mode), they enter the first signature. The second signature can be provided only by another user with the “Two signatures” op-tion.

Note: A user who is not authorized to sign a transaction can still save a transaction, which will require two authorized signatures to be completed.

Unauthorized transactions will not be completed. It would be prudent to allow more than one user to authorize transactions in anticipation of situations where the authorized user is un-able or unavailable to authorize a transaction.

Cash Management

General information about accounts and transactions c01

The Cash Management tab groups menus of the chequing accounts, investments, RRSPs and loans registered in your business profile. It also leads to the menus required to generate your net position and financial summary reports. The tab opens the Transaction Accounts page for quick access to regular accounts.

View your information on the Transaction accounts page, which is always up-to-date. You can also make online transactions that will be registered to your branch account immediately or set them up to take place at a later date. You must take the following into account:

Transactions amounts must be less than $10,000,000.

The amount must be entered without spaces, commas or dollar sign ($). (E.g.: 9,999.99).

Together with your branch, you have determined which folios and accounts are to be acces-sible through AccèsD Affaires, and which transactions are allowed.

All of your business folios, in all branches and caisses in the network, are eligible.

It is possible to register folios that are not held by your company. For example, a head office could include the folios of its branch offices; a single proprietorship could include the per-sonal folios of its owner.

Your branch has to obtain authorization from the folio holder before giving you access to it.

It is possible to have access to folios in US currency (US$).

Only Canadian currency bill payments and government remittances are permitted.

If you are an administrator, you may consult this information in your business profile. Contact your branch, to change the accounts or operations that are available to your business.

Each user only has access to the functions, accounts and transactions that were selected by the administrator when creating the user file. Unlike branch accounts, access to VISA Des-jardins accounts cannot be delegated to only a few. All users have access to the business VISA accounts.

You can cancel a transaction anytime by clicking the Cancel button at the bottom of each confirmation page.

Questions and answers

Questions AnswersWhat is a stop payment? A stop payment order tells your caisse to refuse pay-

ment on a cheque (CCQ) or a pre-authorized payment (direct withdrawal, DW).

I want to make a stop payment on a cheque drawn on my line of credit (SCH, special cheque). Can I do it in AccèsD Internet?

No. To put a stop payment on a special cheque (drawn on a line of credit), you must contact your caisse.

Can I stop payment on a certified cheque? No. A stop payment cannot be placed on a certified cheque.

I want to stop payment on several cheques for dif-ferent amounts to the same recipient. Can I make a single stop payment or do I need several?

For a stop payment on a series of cheques to be valid, the series must be payable to the same recipi-ent and must be in the same amount. Only the dates can be different. If these criteria are not met, you will need to place a separate stop payment for each of the cheques.

Can I stop payment for a loan held at a caisse? To stop payment on a loan or to postpone payment of a loan, you must contact your caisse advisor in person.

I want to place a stop payment on a pre-authorized payment, but the payee's name doesn't appear in the dropdown menu under Payee name. Why?

The list in AccèsD Internet only includes payees that have already received a pre-authorized payment from your account at the caisse. If the organization hasn’t yet made a pre-authorized withdrawal from your ac-count, you will have to select “Other” and enter the payee name in the field provided.

What do “Known” and “Unknown” mean for stop pay-ments on pre-authorized payments?

You should select “Known” if you know the amount of your pre-authorized payment each month and this amount never changes. In that case, a stop payment will be placed on that amount only.

You should select “Unknown” if you don’t know the amount of your pre-authorized payment each month, either because it is variable or because it hasn’t yet been determined.

Important note about pre-authorized payments:If you make a stop payment and select “Unknown” for the amount, you will no longer have the option to make a second stop payment for the same payee, even if you know the amount and if the date is differ-ent.

Can I stop payment on a cheque that will be cashed several months from now? Or on a pre-authorized payment that will be withdrawn several months from now?

You can stop payment on a cheque that will be cashed anytime in the next 12 months. However, stop payments on pre-authorized payments can only be placed on the next payment.

E.g.: Two pre-authorized payments are scheduled for June 1 and July 1. In May, you cannot make a stop payment on the payment scheduled for July 1, unless you make a stop payment on a series of pre-authorized payments, including the payments on June 1 and July 1.

I placed a stop payment in AccèsD Internet a few days or weeks ago, but I can't see it in the list of existing stop payment orders. Do I need to place it again?

Stop payments on cheques are automatically deleted 190 days after the date the cheque was drawn.

Stop payments on pre-authorized payments are au-tomatically deleted 372 days after the date the stop payment order was placed.

However, the caisse may delete a stop payment upon request by the member or once the cheque has been processed.

For details, contact your caisse advisor.

What should I do if I make a mistake when placing a stop payment?

You can modify a stop payment on a pre-authorized payment before 5:00 p.m. on the day of the scheduled payment and you can modify a stop payment on a cheque at any time, without having to pay additional charges.

If you need to modify a stop payment requested at an earlier date, you must delete the stop payment and create a new one (an additional fee will be charged).

I have a two-signature account and I forgot to sign to authorize a stop payment or a modification/deletion of a stop payment before the date of the payment. Will I be charged a fee?

No. The fee for a stop payment is only charged once the second signer authorizes the order.

I see several signature requests for the same stop payment. Do I need to sign them all to confirm the stop payment order?

No. This situation only occurs if you made several modifications to a stop payment on the day you placed it. Only the most recent signature request needs to be signed to confirm the stop payment order. You can delete all the other signature requests by selecting them and clicking on the Refuse button.

Access rights

Inter-currency transfers can be signed electronically by one or more people (there can be more than two signers in the company). In the case of transactions to sign, the exchange rate that will apply is the one in effect at the time of the second signature. Users may only access the features, accounts and transactions that the administrator chose when their user files were created.

Questions/Answers d02

Questions AnswersWhy do I have to accept the exchange rate and the transaction in less than 60 seconds?

The exchange rate applied to the transfer has to be refreshed every 60 seconds to be in synch with the going rates. There is a new rate after 60 seconds.

I do a lot of inter-currency transfers each year and the online solution doesn’t completely meet my needs.

We strongly recommend that you contact your branch to find a service that is better-suited to your needs.

I can’t program an inter-currency transfer to take place at a later date. Why?

For the applied exchange rate to correspond with the going rate on the market, you have to approve the daily rate when making your transfer. Unfortunately, it is impossible to set up this transaction ahead of time, since rates change every day.

I don’t have this option in AccèsD Affaires. You have to have at least one US account and one CAD account in your AccèsD Affaires profile. If you don’t, please contact your branch to open or add an account.

I can’t make multiple transfers from one CAD account and one US account into a CAD account.

To make multiple transfers, the source accounts (and the destination accounts) have to be of the same cur-rency.

Technical information d03

Inter-currency transfers can be made 24 hours a day between your CAD and US accounts, where these accounts are at one or several branches.

However, we recommend that you make these transactions during market hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) on business days in order to get the best rates.

For transactions requiring a signature, the rate that applies is the rate in effect at the time of the second signature.

Since the exchange rate applicable to an inter-currency transfer must be the one in effect when the transfer is carried out, this transaction can only be done online. Therefore, it is not possible to make deferred inter-currency transfers.

Transfers cannot be made to make payments on a line of credit.

Once an inter-currency transfer is completed and confirmed, it can still be cancelled.

Questions/Answers

Questions AnswersWhy should I pay my bills in AccèsD Affaires when I can pay them at an ATM?

Using AccèsD Affaires will save you time and help you avoid waiting in line.

I have to pay my bills by cheque because my busi-ness account is a two-signature account so how can this be useful to me?

You can use the AccèsD Affaires Cash Management service to manage your two-signature accounts and designate signers. This way, your transactions have to be approved by two people before they are complet-ed. It is possible to require two signatures for transac-tions over a certain amount.

Why should I use the service when one of my employ-ees already takes care of this kind of transaction?

Your employee can use AccèsD Affaires within the access rights predetermined by you. This will save time and allow your employee to concentrate on other tasks.

What happens if some of my service providers do not appear on the list of organizations eligible in AccèsD Affaires?

Every day, new service providers are added to the 2100 that are already on the list. Furthermore, you can use the data transmission service to deposit money directly into the account of a service provider that is not yet on the list.

Note: If the service provider’s name is not listed on the page, add it by clicking on Change service provider list.

Service providers

Service providers listed in AccèsD Affaires have an agreement with Desjardins. You can review the list of available service providers under the Payments tab, in the Service provid-ers menu. New service providers are added regularly.

Only the primary administrator can manage the list of service providers available in AccèsD Affaires.

Reference number

Service providers use reference numbers to track payments.

When you add a service provider, have your bill on hand and take note of the reference number. This number varies from one company to another and may appear in different places on the bill, under different names: client number, file number, etc. AccèsD Affaires will let you know where each company lists this number.

We make sure that reference numbers are valid; we cannot check whether the number cor-responds to the service provider in question. When you make your first payment, you should confirm that it has indeed been applied to your account.

Payments to service providers

Payments made to companies other than VISA Desjardins are not transmitted directly to them. Generally, companies consider the payment date to be the date the withdrawal is made from your account, though they may not receive the payment until the next business day. To avoid paying late penalties, make your payments at least one business day before the payment due date.

When you pay your VISA Desjardins bill (or your Accord D Desjardins plan), the balance is updated immediately. When contact with VISA Desjardins headquarters is interrupted, a few hours may pass between the time your payment is programmed and the time your Accord D plan is updated.

AccèsD Affaires will let you know when the transaction can be carried out. - Deleting a pending payment: a pending payment can be deleted at any time. - Changing a pending payment: Scheduled bill payments can be changed the same day, as long as it is done before 12:30 p.m. Government remittance payments can be modified the same day they are scheduled to take place, provided change is made prior to 7:00 a.m. Specify the date of the next transaction: the next business day at the earliest. AccèsD Affaires will inform you of the closest date on which the transaction can be carried out.

• When is a pending transaction processed? You decide. However, some transactions may not be carried out on the date you choose since there are only five business days a week.

• You set a transaction for the 31st of every month. What happens in April, which only has 30 days? The transaction will be processed as if it were scheduled for the 30th of the month.

• Sometimes, it may not be possible to complete a transaction (e.g.: insufficient funds in the account). AccèsD Affaires will issue an alert and let you know when you next log on. You can check and produce a statement of your rejected transactions anytime.

If a transaction is pending approval, a confirmation number is provided when the required number of approvers authorizes the transaction.

Payments can only be future dated for the next business day, at the earliest:

Please note that Can-Act debits your account within two business days of the transaction.

Remittances made on Can-Act are listed on your statement with the code WGC, along with a description and transaction confirmation number.

Approval and signature

Like AccèsD Affaires, Can-Act also has a two-signature option with:

• a requirement of 1 or 2 authorization signatures • a limit after which an acknowledgement is required • authorized signers

There are however, two differences:

• Two signatures are required for all payments, regardless of which account is used (on AccèsD Affaires, they are required only for payments made from two-signature accounts). • Two signatures are required when payments are added and removed (on AccèsD Affaires, they are only required for new payments).

Note: If your business is registered for the two-signature option on AccèsD Affaires, but you do not use it (because you do not have a two-signature account), please remove this option from your file. If the double signature option is required for your Can-Act transactions, it may be activated.

The two-signature information in your AccèsD Affaires file is transmitted each time you access Can-Act. If you change it on AccèsD Affaires, the Can-Act two-signature setting will be affected.

If a payment over the two-signature limit is filed, it is placed on hold, pending a second authorization (Pending Approval section):

• If the user who created the payment is an authorized approver, only one other approver is required. • If the user who created the payment is not an authorized approver, two other approvers are required.

International servicesInternational Funds Transfers g01

How it works

Nothing could be more simple—worldwide!

AccèsD Affaires makes business easier by letting you transfer funds to beneficiaries any-where in the world. Two types of transfers are available, each with different processing times:

SWIFT transfer: 0 to 48 business hours Direct deposit: 12 business hours to 3 business days

Transfers can be made at any time, and real-time exchange rates are available for the most common currencies. To save time, transaction details can be saved in a template for later reuse, so you don’t have to re-enter the information every time.

How to register

Contact your branch to have the service added to your file.

Who does what

Transactions involving funds transfers can be signed electronically by one or more autho-rized signers (there may be more than two signers in the company) and must be approved by an authorized user through established channels. Users may only access the features, accounts and transactions delegated to them by the primary administrator when their user files were created.

User fees

Service charges depend on the amount, currency, destination and tranfer method. Contact your account manager or AccèsD Affaires for rates.

Security

The privacy of transactions is ensured by security mechanisms that comply with the highest e-commerce standards. Each transaction includes simple identification mechanisms. The details concerning these mechanisms are not included in this document. They will be for-warded to you once the User agreement has been signed.

Advantages

• Fast and simple – Make international transfers in just a few clicks without having to visit your branch.

• Efficient – Reduce paperwork and manual processing. Delegate functions to employees by assigning them access rights directly in AccèsD Affaires.

• Convenient – Use AccèsD Affaires anytime, anywhere.• Secure – Maintain full control over all AccèsD Affaires functions and access rights.• Practical – Save time by creating transfer templates.

Questions/Answers

International Funds TransfersQuestions AnswersIs there a limit to the number of transfers I can make? There is no limit, provided your account balances are

sufficient.Why must I accept the exchange rate within 60 sec-onds?

The exchange rate is updated every 60 seconds to reflect current exchange rates. You will receive a new rate after the 60-second period has elapsed.

I make many international funds transfers each year and the Funds Transfer service does not meet my needs entirely.

We suggest you contact your branch to see how this service can be best adapted to your company’s needs.

Can I make transfers in the evening, at night or on weekends?

Transfers can be made 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; however, the transaction is processed on the next business day.Although you may transfer funds at any time, the best time to do so is on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4.30 p.m. when North American markets are open; this way, you benefit from the most competitive exchange rates.

Why can’t I set up transfers to be made at a later date?

To obtain the current market exchange rate, you must approve the rate in force at the time of the transfer. Since this rate varies daily, it is impossible to program transfers in advance.

Can I use this service to transfer money within Canada?

Certainly. You can use this service to transfer money anywhere in the world.

Funds transfer template managementQuestions AnswersWho can create funds transfer templates in AccèsD Affaires ?

All users (primary administrator, secondary admin-istrators and employees) with access to the Funds Transfer feature can create templates.

Can a user access templates created by another user?

Yes, all the templates are available to users with ac-cess to the Funds Transfer feature.

Can I only allow users to use funds transfer templates created by the primary administrator?

No. All users authorized to make funds transfers can create and use templates.

Is there a limit on the number of templates that can be created?

A maximum of 100 templates can be created for each AccèsD Affaires file.

Security code grid delegationQuestions AnswersWhich transactions require a code from the security code grid?

International funds transfer transactions.

Which users can generate a security code grid? Only the primary administrator can generate security code grids for other users (secondary administrators and employ-ees).

Which users can obtain a security code grid? All users (primary administrator, secondary administrators and employees) can obtain a security code grid.

Are security code grids only required for two-signature files in AccèsD Affaire?

No. Security code grids must be used for all funds transfers, whether or not the transaction is made from a two-signature file in AccèsD Affaires.

How do I use the security code grid to transfer funds from a two-signature file?

General rule for signature sequence: the administrator or employee with the security code grid must always enter the security code before the second signature can be made.

If the transaction is started by an authorized signer (user authorized to sign) with a security code grid:

1° The authorized signer must use the security code grid and place the transaction pending authorization in the Sign tab. 2° A second authorized signer must approve the transaction for it to be completed.

If the transaction is started by a user who is not an au-thorized signer, but who has a security code grid:

1° The user must use the security code grid and place the transaction pending authorization in the Sign tab.

2° Two authorized signers must approve the transaction for it to be completed.

If the transaction is started by a user who is not an au-thorized signer and who does not have a security code grid:

1° The user must place the transaction pending authorization in the Sign tab. 2° The transaction must be approved by two authorized signers. 3° If one of the authorized signers has a security code grid, he or she must use it to complete the transaction.If neither of the authorized signers has a security code grid, a third user with a security code grid (e.g. the primary admin-istrator) must complete the transaction.

If the transaction is started by an authorized signer who does not have a security code grid:

1° The authorized signer must place the transaction pending authorization in the Sign tab.

2° If the second authorized signer has a security code grid, he or she must use it to complete the transaction .

3° If the second authorized signer does not have a secu-rity code grid, a third user with a security code grid (e.g. the primary administrator) must complete the transaction.

• If you import your transactions into a personal finance program, the specified end date should not be the date on which you are generating the statement.

Downloading a statement to a file

You can download your statement to a file and import it into another program.

Choose one of three formats

1. Text (TXT). This file may be imported into your word processing program. If accented characters are not recognized by your word processing program, select the option “Text without accented characters (TXT)”.

2. Delimited text with accented characters (CSV). This file may be imported into Micro-soft Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft Access 97, Microsoft Access 2 and Borland dBase. If accented characters are not recognized by your software program, select the option “Text without accented characters (CSV)”.

We have designed the template (models) into which you will be able to insert your first downloaded file. This ensures that you will have a good definition of the data in the soft-ware program of your choice. Therefore, you will not have to worry about correctly defin-ing the width of columns in your spreadsheet or the right type of data in your database.

Once your data is correctly defined, you can easily download your statements and import them into your program.

3. Open Financial eXchange (OFX). This format is a standard for online financial data transfers. It is recognized by Quicken and Personal 1.2d by Makisoft, which receive the file and makes online reconciliations.

You can reconcile your accounts any time you decide.

However, it is recommended that you do not include transactions made on the same day. Some transactions are processed at night so it is best to wait until the next day to make sure all of the day’s transactions are included, otherwise some transactions may never be imported into your personal finance program.

Bank Confirmation

How it worksEach year, your chartered accountant reviews the company financial statements and needs a bank confirmation to check the company’s accounting information.

This document provides written confirmation of all your account balances in each of your caisses on your company’s financial year-end.

In the past, your accountant had to wait several days while your financial institution pro-duced the bank confirmation.

With AccèsD Affaires, bank confirmations can be produced automatically.

Your bank confirmations are available for six months as of the end of your financial year.

Online bank confirmation with AccèsD Affaires: just a click away! Before you register for this funtion, verify certain elements.

A few weeks before your company’s year end date, contact your caisse or business centre to make sure that the year end date for all your accounts corresponds with the date indicat-ed in our files. This is an important step to ensure that your bank confirmation will be auto-matically generated by AccèsD Affaires on the appropriate date and that it contains all your accounts’ information.

You can also assign access to this function to your accountant. All you have to do is give him or her restricted access to your AccèsD Affaires file to use the bank confirmation func-tion only. All your accountant will have to do is print out the confirmation on your company’s financial year-end date.

Validity of an AccèsD Affaires bank confirmationYou can produce a bank confirmation yourself and use it as a supporting document for your files. However, to submit this document with audited financial statements, we recommend that you have your accountant print it out to ensure integrity and compliance. Delegating ac-cess rights to your AccèsD Affaires file is key.

Note: If you are not comfortable assigning access rights to your AccèsD Affaires file to another party, keep in mind that you have the option of providing access to bank confirmations.

Advantages of online bank confirmations• Bank confirmations are available at the end of your company’s fiscal year.• Get your bank confirmation without going to your caisse or simply assign this task to

your accountant.• When produced by an accountant, AccèsD Affaires bank confirmations meet Canadian

Bankers Association requirements.• You can view and print your bank confirmations as often as you wish any time up to six

months after year end.

When necessary, the organization can obtain a copy of the Reimbursement Claim signed by the customer for returned direct withdrawals with a return code included between 915 and 921. The organization has one (1) year following the return date to get a copy of the Claim.

To get a signed copy of the Reimbursement Claim, the organization must contact the AccèsD Affaires Support Group at 1-866-7AccesD (1-866-722-2373), code 239, and provide the following information:

Receiving rejected and returned transactions

Rejected transactions

When transactions are validated by the Desjardins Data Centre, certain parameters are verified; the transaction is rejected if any are not valid. Rejected transactions are shown on Report P-01. Returned transactions

Transactions that are sent to the Desjardins Credit Union Branches or to bank branches are subject to additional validation. If any of the criteria is not respected, the Desjardins Credit Union Branch or the bank branch will return the transactions. Returns must be made within two business days following receipt of the transaction at the Desjardins Credit Union or bank branch and must indicate a permitted return code between 901 and 914.

Moreover, in compliance with Rule H1, which governs preauthorized debits, customers can refuse direct withdrawals made to their account. To do so, they must sign a Reimbursement Claim at their financial institution. The time frame for this type of request is specified by the rules of the Canadian Payments Association (CPA). Time frame terms are briefly described in the last chapter of this guide, entitled “Direct withdrawal and stakeholder protection”. The Desjardins Credit Union or bank branch must return the transaction by using the appropriate code from codes 915 to 921.

Return code 922 makes it possible to refuse a credit within 90 calendar days of processing.

All transactions returned electronically to Desjardins Data Centre are described in detail in the P-05 report.

Rerouting rejected transactions

A file is rejected when it does not meet the CPA standards for financial data exchange.

When a file is rejected in whole or in part, the caisse informs tells organization how to pro-ceed.

If there is time, the organization may, after having received the list of rejects, re-submit the transactions in a new file to the Desjardins Data Centre, by:

• the usual transmission method• if applicable, the method given in the Direct Deposit and Withdrawal Service Agreement,

i.e.:

1. issuing cheques to make the payments2. making representations to clients3. asking the branch to make the transactions manually, and providing to the caisse a list

of transactions concerned (valid only for Desjardins transactions and according to the provisions of the service agreement)

branch paymentsPayments between the organization and the branch are made as follows:

• On the effective or availability date of the transactions, the amount is automatically with-drawn or deposited, as the case may be, in the organization’s account.

• The amount of the payment corresponds to the total transactions sent to the financial institutions.

Rejected transactionsNo payment shall be withdrawn or deposited in the organization’s account for a transaction or file that has been rejected by the Desjardins Data Centre. The organization’s account shall only be affected for the total amount of transactions that have been processed, and not rejected (See Reports P-01 et P-02).

Recalled transactionsThe organization’s account is not affected by recalled transactions since the transactions are cancelled before processing, and not sent to the branches or other financial institutions (See Report P-05).

Returned transactionsFor a direct withdrawal transaction (debit): On the return date, the amount due is automati-cally withdrawn from the organization’s account. (See Report P-05).

For a direct deposit (credit) transaction: On the return date, the amount due is deposited automatically in the organization’s account. (See Report P-05).

Canadian Payments Association (CPA) Standards s07

IntroductionThis section is for organizations issuing direct deposit or direct withdrawal transactions within the Canadian Payments Association’s (CPA’s) network of financial institutions.It describes how organizations must structure their direct deposit or withdrawal transactions to be validated by Desjardins Data Centre’s Direct Deposit and Withdrawal application.

Current standards may be revised as the product evolves.

Data file formatThe following principles are listed in no particular order, to help you structure your data files.

• One deposit or withdrawal transaction is contained in each segment.• A segment is contained in a logical record of 1,464 characters that must contain 6 seg-

ments (or 6 transactions). If the file is in ASCII mode, one carriage return (hexadecimal value 0D) and one line feed (hexadecimal value 0A) must be added at the end of each logical record. A definition and the validation criteria of each data element can be found in the Data Elements Dictionary located further on in this section.

• Except for logical elements Types A and Z which are used for identification and control purposes, logical record Types C and D must contain the information necessary to de-scribe a transaction.

• All segments of any given logical record must have the same length and format.• If a logical record does not contain 6 segments, the unused segments must be fully

initialized by spaces. The first and last logical record of each file must respectively be Types A and Z.

• Logical record Types C and D may be intermixed on the same file provided the organiza-tion is authorized to use them.

• All unused data elements in a used segment have an initial value of zeros (if numeric) or spaces (if Alphanumeric).

1. Numeric data elements will be right justified and zero filled.2. Alphanumeric data elements need not be justified, but must be space filled.

File rejection All files that do not comply with standards will be rejected. The following are the causes for rejection of a readable file:

1. Missing logical record A2. Missing logical record Z3. Logical record Z out of balance4. Presence of invalid data elements5. Invalid intermixing of logical record types6. Invalid creation date7. Invalid file number

Important dates s08

File creation date

The file creation date is recorded in the Type A logical record. The Desjardins Data Centre must receive and process a file not later than 7 calendar days after the file creation date, inclusive of the latter. Beyond that date, the file will be rejected. Date transactions become available

A file may contain transactions with different dates available. The Desjardins Data Centre may accept transactions dated up to 14 calendar days after the file creation date. Beyond that, the transaction may be rejected.

Important: The issuing organization (originator) is responsible for the date each transaction is made available (availability date).

Date of transaction delivery within the Desjardins network

For a transaction to a Desjardins Credit Union branch account, the Desjardins Data Centre will apply the transaction to the account on the date it is due, even if it is received one or more days before it is available. If a transaction to a Desjardins Credit Union branch account is delivered late by issuing organization or on its due date, it will be applied to the balance of the payee’s account on the date it is processed by the Desjardins Data Centre.

Date of transaction delivery in universal mode

For a transaction to another financial institution, the Data Centre will forward the transaction in advance so it can be carried out in the account on the date it is due if it is received two or more days before it becomes available. If a transaction is delivered late or on its due date by the originator, it may affect the payee’s account 2 business days after it is processed by the Desjardins Data Centre.

There is no data exchange among financial institutions on days recognized as national holidays by the Canadian Payments Association. Consequently, plan one extra business day to send your files to the Desjardins Data Centre.

Logical record types s09

The four following tables contain all the information necessary to create files according to the required logical record type.

Logical record type A

DescriptionContains file identification and control information; this logical record occurs only once, and is located at the beginning of each file. It is the first logical record.

Note: All data elements must respect CPA and Desjardins Data Centre standards, or the file will be rejected.

The organization is responsible for the validity of this data element. Used to identify the payee’s or payer’s account with the financial institution. The account number may have dashes, and does not need to be justified. The processing financial institution’s data system will determine whether the payee’s or payer’s account number is valid. The Desjardins Data Centre carries out a validation of the account number for transactions routed in the Desjar-dins network.

Payee’s or payer’s institution number

9 positions - Numeric - Logical Record Types C and D.The organization is responsible for the validity of this data element. This number is used to identify the payee’s or payer’s financial institution. An institution’s number is composed as follows:

Reference number19 positions - Alphanumeric - Logical Record Types C and D.The organization uses this zone to identify the transaction for internal management pur-poses and to allow the Desjardins Data Centre to carry out searches, execute revoke requests, or cancel transactions. It is recommended to create reference numbers in a structured manner in order to facilitate the above-mentioned operations. The number must be in capitals. For example, a reference number could be composed as follows:

• Positions 1 to 5 correspond to a group of employees• Positions 6 to 10 correspond to a sub-group of employees• Positions 11 to 9 correspond to each employee’s social insurance number.

The number must be unique to each transaction and it is mandatory, or the file will be rejected.

Settlement Code2 positions - Alphanumeric - Logical Record Types C and D.The Desjardins Data Centre may use this zone to exclusively designate the requirements of the organization in terms of settlement. For the time being, this field must be filled in with blanks. The absence of this data element will not cause the transaction or the file to be rejected.

Total number of Type C or Type D transactions8 positions - Numeric - Logical Record Type Z.Total number of Type C or Type D transactions in the file, whether or not the transactions are valid. This data element must be zero if the file contains no Logical Record Types C or D. If the contents of this data element do not equal the number of Type C or D transactions on the file, the file will be rejected by the Desjardins Data Centre.

Total value of Type C or D transactions14 positions - Numeric - Logical Record Type Z.The total amount shown in the data elements for Type C or D transactions in the file.This data element must be zero if the file contains no Logical Records of Type C or D trans-actions. If the contents of this data element do not equal the value of the total amount for data elements in Type C or Type D transactions on the file, the file will be rejected by the Desjardins Data Centre.

Transaction type (see list presented at the end of this section)3 positions - Numeric - Logical Record Types C and D.Used by the organization to indicate the type of payment. The Desjardins Data Centre must pass the transaction type as it is received from the organization. The type of transaction must appear in the transaction type listing prepared by the CPA. If the transaction type is invalid, the transaction will be rejected.

Direct withdrawal and consumer protection s11

This section contains a summary of CPA Rule H1 – Pre-Authorized Debits (PADs) Rule. For more details, the organization can consult the CPA Web site at www.cdnpay.ca or the rule at http://www.cdnpay.ca/rules/acss_rules_h1.asp.

Introduction

The purpose of this summary is to highlight the various elements which ensure the protection of consumers using the direct withdrawal service.

Direct withdrawal is, by its very nature, considered risky to consumers since, essentially, they are authorizing a third party to make periodic withdrawals from their account. In this context, Desjardins respects Rule H1 to ensure the protection of all parties, including the consumer, the branch and the organization collecting the payment. Definition of service and interested parties.

Direct withdrawal is a service financial institutions offer organizations, to enable them to ef-ficiently recover sums of money owed by their respective customers through electronic fund transfers.

For the organization’s customer, it is a payment method whereby he or she voluntarily au-thorizes automatic withdrawals to be made directly from his or her savings account to pay the amounts billed by the organization. Direct withdrawals are usually offered in universal mode, which means that the organization’s customer can have an account in any of the Canadian member financial institutions of the Canadian Payments Association (CPA) which have an exchange point in Québec. It should be remembered that this payment method by direct withdrawal from a customer’s account is a service which is offered, not by the financial institution, but by an organization which provides goods or services to its own customers. Consequently, four parties are involved in providing this service:

• the organization’s customer• the organization providing the goods or services• the organization’s financial institution• the financial institution of the organization’s customer.

Possible problems

While the operation of the direct withdrawal service is relatively simple, the large number of people involved complicates matters in terms of responsibility. If problems arise, the prob-lem-solving process can often be long and is generally much more annoying than costly for the consumer.

Measures adopted by the CPA

The CPA has adopted specific regulations governing compensation for direct withdrawals (preauthorized debit plan) between the various CPA member institutions. These regulations set out the standard clauses which must be included in service agreements between the organization and its financial institution, and the authorization form which must be signed by the consumer who wishes to use this service. The regulations also define the responsi-bilities of the various parties involved, and the procedures to ensure that any customer of an organization using the direct withdrawal service is rapidly reimbursed if an error occurs. More specifically, certain guidelines of the CPA respond to concerns regarding the security of member (customer) accounts, specifically:

• if an organization fails to comply with the CPA’s regulations, the financial institution “sponsoring” the organization automatically becomes the guarantor for transactions oc-curring in customer accounts in CPA member institutions;

• in the event a withdrawal is not made with the Payor’s PAD Agreement or if the Agree-ment was the customer has 90 calendar days for a personal preauthorized debit, or 10 business days in the case of a company preauthorized debit to request reimbursement of the disputed item from his or her financial institution. Upon signature of a reimburse-ment request form provided for this purpose by the CPA, the customer’s financial institu-tion must reimburse him or her immediately. In addition, the financial institution “spon-soring” the organization must immediately cover any debit received from the customer’s financial institution.

* For the 10 business day time frame to apply, Rule H1 specifies that the business PDA must have been coded as transaction type 700 to 730.

The role of the organization

The organization is responsible for providing customer authorization forms, collecting them once they are filled out and keeping them for future reference. The branch will provide the organization with the required material. Based on the information contained in the authori-zation forms, the organization creates a computer file as stipulated in its service agreement with the branch. The caisse does not require a copy of the form; however, it reserves the right to obtain a copy upon request. With regard to preauthorized debits for a fixed amount, the organization provides the customer with written notification of the amounts and due dates of the debits at least 10 calendar days before the due date of each preauthorized debit. When the debits are for varying amounts, this same advance notice must be provided every time the amount or payment date changes.

Direct Deposit and Withdrawal Data Transmission

Data transmission t01

Use the Data Transmission Service to send files electronically. For now, only direct deposit and withdrawal files structured according to the Canadian Payments Association (CPA) stan-dards are accepted.

Service availability t02

The Data Transmission Service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Given the critical nature of the data being transmitted, a backup system is available. In case the AccèsD Affaires service is down, files can still be transmitted.

Security t03

The Data Transmission service uses 128-bit encryption protocol, the highest industry security standard. This protocol ensures that transmitted data can only be read by authorized persons.

• Data is verified to make sure it corresponds to the data transmitted and the signature is double-checked.

Required equipment and operating systems t04

The Data Transmission Service is accessible through the following environments:

• Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Mac OS X.

We suggest a 56K modem.

Supported browsers:

• Microsoft Explorer 6.0 and higher with 128 bit encryption. Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and higher. Safari 1.3.9 and higher.

Initial use of the Data Transmission Service t01c

Before you send your first batch of files for processing, you have to run a test to make sure that your information is valid and that the file format corresponds to CPA standard 005.

To run the test, you will have to create and transmit a file to Desjardins Computer Headquar-ters. This file must be created with your accounting software and contain real data. After you send it, Desjardins will contact you on the next business day to let you know that your profile has been activated or to ask you for another test file containing patches.

Note: The processing centre number you need to enter is 81510 and the organization number corresponds to the 10-digit number you received from your branch.

Transmission procedure 1. Use your accounting software to create a CPA file (take note of where you save the file); 2. Open your Web browser (Internet Explorer) and go to: https://accesd.affaires.desjardins.com; 3. Enter your user code and password and click on the Validate button; 4. Click on the Transmission tab; 5. Click on the Browse button and get your CPA file (the one created in step 1); 6. Click on the Transmit button; 7. Wait approximately 30 minutes for your file to be processed.

Transmission or verifcation resultsAfter sending the file, you can check the results of the transmission by clicking Status. The page that appears describes the status of the most recent transmissions. The following elements are listed for each transmitted file:

• the file name; • the date and time of the transmission; • the confirmation number of the transmission.

The Status column

• You can track your file using this column.

There are two parts to the transmission:

1. validation; 2. processing.

At the validation phase, the file may be rejected because:

• the CPA file format is not valid; the file does not respect CPA standard 005; • invalid content: the totals (number of transactions and amount) do not correspond to the content; • invalid transmission privileges: the user is not authorized to transmit files.

In each case, you can get additional information about the rejection and how to correct the situation by clicking on the “?” to the right of the status.

Status

• If the file is successfully validated, the status will change to Processing and you can click a link to disply the information about the file: the file number, number and amount of transactions it contains. • If the file is rejected, the status will change to DDW processing error, in which case an agent will contact you before the end of the day. • If the file is succesfully processed, the status will change to Processing complete.

Despite all precautions, some transactions in the file may be rejected. If this happens, please read reports P-02 and P-03, which will be available at your branch the next business day.

Providing access to users t06

If you are a system administrator: provide authorized users with access to the Data Trans-mission Service.

Downloading software components t07

Certain transmission functions are performed on your computer. You must download and install the software components:

• Before your first file transmission. • When you change computers. • When you change operating software.

As a security measure, this function is only accessible for 15 days after you subscribe to the Data Transmission Service. After that time, the administrator should contact the AccèsD Af-faires Services Support Group for access.

The software components may be obtained by browser from the Data Transmission Ser-vice’s download page. When you download, you will get two files. The first includes the soft-ware needed for your computer, and the second contains the encryption keys. The software in the first file includes compression and encryption programs and the Client FileDrive pack-age. If you are planning to use https mode, you do not have to install the Client FileDrive software, which is only required if you use the ftp-SSL transmission mode.

Each time you download, your browser will ask which directory to save the file in. We sug-gest you define a temporary directory reserved for this purpose, for example c:\tddtemp, before downloading, and use the same directory for both downloads.
