IVANS Y-Account
When you request to initiate download with a carrier that does not have their own software system, the company will ask if you have an IVANS account. If you do not yet have an account set up, the carrier will set one up for you. Once the account is set up, the carrier will provide you with an IVANS Y-Account number and User ID. Record this information and keep it handy for other carriers. When you initiate download with future carriers, you will provide them with the Y-Account number and User ID of your IVANS account.
