Section Objectives • This section prepares you to understand how to set up financial institution staff with access to the Customer Service Tool (CST) so they can assist Bill Pay consumers. Specifically, you will learn: • how to set up CST users and their permissions • how CST users update their profile • how to run reports on CST activity
Why Use CST? CST is the support and research tool used for FIS Bill Pay. With this system, support staff can answer the following questions for a consumer: • Is a payment scheduled? • Was my payment sent? • My payment hasn’t been credited. • I have late fees and I used BP to pay my bill. • I want to add another funding account. • What is the status of a consumer’s service request? • And many more …
CST Login Screen Your financial institution receives your CST URL, user ID, and passwords from your Project Manager. This is FIS' product and is used by FIS Customer Service Representatives as well. A shortcut to the CST login pageis found in Management Console via Partners. The Super User for Internet Banking can grant other financial institution administrators access to this shortcut. Note: Access to CST is restricted by IP address. CST contains 2 years of Bill Pay history. CST utilizes a security feature called Cross-site Scripting (XSS) protection. As a result, you can not enter the following special characters on any CST page: < > “ ( ) ^ \ ; In addition, you may only use the forward slash ( / ) when entering a date format such as MM/DD/YYYY. If a CST page is submitted and contains a special character, an alert box appears and you must delete the character.
Set Up Challenge Questions Upon login you are prompted to set up security questions that allow you to reset your password when locked out of CST. You are prompted to provide answers to four unique challenge questions. Each answer must be at least five characters long and cannot be associated with your user ID or password.You can opt to provide answers to the challenge questions at another time by selecting Remind me later, but the setup must be completed before you can use the Change Password feature.
Change Password Tool If you forget your password, click the Change Password link on the login screen (see page 4). After entering your User ID, you are randomly presented two out of the four challenge questions previously set up. After answering the questions correctly you can create a new password. A password can only be changed once in a 24-hour period.
