The default maximum number of times a transfer will be attempted (up to 21). If the transfer has not been successfully completed by the maximum number, the post date and effective date will be advanced one full frequency as determined by the Frequency field.

The value in the Attempts field will be the default max attempts for the Max Attempts field on the Member Transfer File Information dialog box, but may be overridden at the individual transfer level. If no default value is specified on the Credit Union Profile - Products & Services tab, then the default will be blank and you must complete the Max Attempts field to set up the transfer.

M - Monthly: 21
