To add to that/ to clarify it:

Most kiva lenders will find the current search options for Kiva good enough.

I, however, like the extra options that kivabank gives; and I think many "big" or "expert" or "senior" lenders like it too.

So that's why I think a simple search is necessary, but an advanced search would be a great extra....

First John, and now you. Things are really looking up for Kiva lenders. I'm sure we will all be looking for great things once you have had time to settle in. The KB experience will be valuable for Kiva.

I accepted an offer to go work for Kiva

I believe this is going to work out very well for everyone.

I'll say!!! 

Is the Kiva community lucky or what, to get you doing your magic from the inside out?!!! 

Congratulations!!!

you've got to be kidding me - I just looked at the kiva app gallery - and KIVABank isn't in it???

It's the Risk-based Loan Search in the featured apps - I guess they didn't update the name - it links to the original nuclearspike/kiva but forwards to kivabank.org.

thanks! I personally find KIVABank one of the coolest tools I've had to play with on KIVA.org    Glad it's being shared.

are there any stats as to how often KIVABank gets used and for what?  (would be fun info to know)

(p.s. - not that it affects anyone but me - but had to preview to post as usual these days)

Thanks Henry!

I had a question to ask the experts:

Check out this loan's advanced repayment
http://www.kiva.org/lend/218524?showRepaymentDetails=yes#payments

It shows the first Entrepreneur to Partner payment on July 7, but it was pre-disbursed July 6. Why would their first repayment be set for the day after they get the loan?

[nuclearspike]

For anyone interested, I've added the ability to look up partners that don't have fundraising loans for the situation where you want to look at past loan partners' delinquency/default/rating history but not be bound by what is selectable in the current loans. On the Partner tab, if you click on the label "avg loan size per capita" label, you'll be presented with a drop down of all active partners (regardless of whether they are active or not) so you can select other partners.

Paul, strangely enough Kivabank is still showing two loans from Mol Bulak as active even though they have been fully repaid (judging from the totals by country). I think that's strange because Kiva+ is showing the correct totals. Those loans are:
http://www.kiva.org/lend/189370
http://www.kiva.org/lend/168409

In other news your last post made me discover there was a partner tab on Kivabank. I had never seen it because I have to make firefox fill the full screen to see it. At my usual browser window width it's just not showing, and there's no scrollbar to hint at more content (I'm using firefox 3.6.8 on WindowsXP).

Fred,

!) I do not see the two loans you reference in KB's fundraising list. If you restart KB (coming fresh to the page) do you still see those loans? Is it possible you had KB open for a while and it possibly stopped updating for some strange reason?

2) Glad you are able to see the Partner tab now to see the histories.
