I'd love to be able to see Illinois Designated Account Purchase Program (IDAPP) student loan amounts, if you guys have any spare time.

Thanks,
Mark

I second Mark's request.

I could also use this feature. It's the only loan provider I use that Mint does not yet support, but it's a substantial one.

Hi Minters,

Unfortunately, your account is not yet supported. However you may request a support for your bank/financial institution by clicking "request that we add your bank" or "tell us about it" links in the Add Account tab, after you search for a certain bank. Once the account is supported, our system will automatically notify you.

As we have to work with our provider to add financial institutions to the system, we did want to advise that it may take time to get your financial institution or product added to the Mint site.

The main reason a bank cannot be added is due to multi-factor authentication or security issues or the financial institution blocks third party aggregators on purpose.

Although we support a large percentage of the US assets, there is a long tail for small banks and credit unions that we do not yet support. We're working on more efficient and cost effective ways of adding these banks and financial institution.

Okay, just spent some time on the phone with IDAPP. They use a company called ECSI for their loan repayments.

If you go to www.idapp.org and log into MyIDAPP you will see a purple button that says "View Statement". Click on this button opens another browser window and takes you to https://www.ecsi.net/cgi-bin/bcgi.exe?bcgi01

On this site, you are asked to enter your school code, your SSN, and your password. There is no way to register on ECSI, so you must CALL IDAPP and ask them for your login for ecsi.net. IDAPP will email you your school code (this is different than the FAFSA code) and a pre-chosen password. From then on you can just go to www.ecsi.net and login with your SSN and the info IDAPP gave you.

BUT BEST OF ALL - go to mint.com, add a new account, type in www.ecsi.net in the search field (only 1 result should show) and then just enter your school code, SSN, and password and boom! you've got your IDAPP loans showing up in mint.com!

This worked flawlessly for me, please let me know if it works for you!

Loft, I verified your approach works great. Thank you!!
