Coming this Month to a Credit Union Near You: FIDAP 2.0


Inclusiv is excited to present a new and expanded version of our Financial Inclusion Data Analytics Platform (FIDAP)! Coming at the end of October, FIDAP 2.0 will deliver a revolution in target market lending analytics and the analysis of credit union financial inclusion data.

Webinars will begin later this month. Stay tuned for an invitation to the first session and read on for more on FIDAP 2.0.

What is the Financial Inclusion Data Analytics Platform (FIDAP) 2.0?

Inclusiv’s Financial Data Analytics Platform integrates high powered data analytics into a user-friendly web-based interface for credit unions. FIDAP will give credit unions the power to create custom-built reports at any time. Users will be able to gain insight into their lending performance and track progress towards CDFI Fund target market (TM) benchmarks, identify trends in membership demographics, and even generate the reports needed to complete CDFI grant reporting requirements.

What features is FIDAP capable of providing and not providing? 

FIDAP provides: 

  • Analyses of lending in eligible and certified CDFI Target Markets based on the CDFI Fund's pre-approved Target Market verification methodologies
  • Full-length Transaction Level Reporting (TLR) schedules for CDFI Program (TA/FA/ERP/RRP grants) and Certification reporting compliance
  • Abbreviated TLR reports for new CDFI Certification and non-grantee recertification applications
  • Membership composition reports: data visualizations, portfolio breakdowns, financial inclusion indicators and more

FIDAP does not provide: 

  • Classification of borrowers as Other Targeted Populations (OTP)
  • Assistance in determining an entity's compliance with the Primary Mission, Accountability, Development Services, Legal Entity, Financing Entity and Non-Governmental Entity tests for CDFI Certification
  • Complete CDFI Certification applications or full Annual Certification reports, which collect information required for all 7 tests for CDFI Certification

Inclusiv will continue to develop additional features for FIDAP that will include reporting assistance for the EPA's forthcoming Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (CCIA) program and Treasury's Emergency Capital Investment Program (ECIP), among others.

Will training be provided to help me navigate the FIDAP system? 

Yes. Beginning later this month, Inclusiv will provide a training course in FIDAP usage for all users. An invitation will be sent to members soon.

I am an Inclusiv member. Is there any cost in addition to my membership dues to use FIDAP? 

No. FIDAP is available at no additional cost to all active policy members as a benefit of Inclusiv membership.

Will FIDAP have translations?

Yes, FIDAP will also be available in Spanish.

How does FIDAP help me with my CDFI certification or recertification application? 

FIDAP will help credit unions with one of the most critical aspects of CDFI certification, the target market lending test. Users will be able to upload loan data and receive real time results for their progress towards this 60% threshold. With FIDAP, users can receive a report on their target market lending any time of the year, week, or day. Say "so long" to the days of waiting for Target Market analyses. With FIDAP, the power of analyses is in the hands of the user -- you'll quickly become a data analytics Jedi!
