Pleased to report that after a few days of regular checking of Kivabank that I've managed to use all of my outstanding credit to make new loans, and without changing my selection criteria. Thanks for the tool. It really helps people like me.

I was just looking at the partner page on Kivabank.
We can there get information about total raised, and Delinquency Rate:

One piece of information i miss is:

Currently outstanding amount to a partner (total raised - paidback )  , and amount of money that is Delinquent
(same goes for Kivas pages i guess ... )

If you are not stopping the development of Kivabank:

A search option to include/ exclude Repayment Schedule:      At end of term

I hope it will soon also on the Kiva website be possible to search / autolend, based on Delinquency Rate
and currency loss possible.

Strangely enough on Kiva one can search based on gender, as far as i know nobody has requested that for Kivabank.

Glad to hear that. In the future, you may want to set up email alerts on your saved filters in KivaBank so that you don't have to check back, KB checks for you and sends you all the loan data and links to lend. Then you can just shut off the email notifications once you've used all your credit.

I just noticed that Urwego (Rwanda) http://www.kiva.org/partners/161 is not being excluded when selecting the "exclude religious MFIs" filter. It is on the AASFSHNR "Religious MFIs List", but is a pilot, so perhaps not for long, and probably it's just a matter of (automated?) updating.

Jan,

if they were recently added, then KivaBank doesn't know about it yet. I haven't updated the site for probably 6 weeks (packed up, road tripping, moving in, etc). Thanks for the heads up. I'll get it updated.

I have put information about your program on http://www.kiva.org/team/norway
So maybee even more will use it.
I have used the feature potofolio balancing alot.
I may bee a geek, but i could also find use for an option to search for MFI which i havent lend to before.
(i have nearly loaned to all countired now)

If a user save a search as RSS, must others also log in to use the search?? 
Cant it be used without ?

Skimmis, yeah, I saw that you put a link to kivabank in the "why we loan" section which shows in the community listing of teams (makes me want to have it create auto-links to http references!). I appreciate that! Yeah, I originally planned to have a partner balancing feature as well (it's actually there, but currently hidden) but because so many partner names have parenthesis in their names that I can't just use their name in the partner search because KB doesn't know how to interpret parentheses inside other parentheses. I need to create a "PartnerByID()" type of search so that I can do reliable references to Partners without using names alone. This is on my to-do list but I've gotten a little behind on updates to KB since I started at Kiva. That's great that you're using the feature so much that you're now completely diversified!

You can share the RSS link with anyone, they do not need to have Silverlight installed or have a KB login. If you alter the search and re-save the search, the link stays the same so the others who are using the RSS link will have their RSS feeds adjusted to whatever you change the search to. Only the owner of the "saved filter" has the ability to alter the RSS criteria.
