My Kiva Loans repaid

7 replies • Last post

Hello, guys,

Do you remember this time last year ?

CL-Ed promoted Kiva Donation with $25 Free donation + $25 Match donation by CasinoListings.
It was really a good chance to do some good things for other people via Kiva.

Actually, I got to know about Kiva with it.

I made two loans to families in Myanmar, and both loans were repaid within a year, wow.

$25 went back to Kiva and $25 Match came to my account.
I can withdraw $25 via Paypal, but will donate it to another Myanmar family.

I attached the screenshots, you see the CasinoListing Team.

Cheers 👍

Thats great to see coolsongss. Its one of the reasons I really like Kiva - you get to re-lend the same money over and over once the people pay it back. I've been doing it for a few years now and almost everyone pays everything back over time.

The little that I know about Kiva, I always assumed that it would be hard to get your money back and it wouldn't happen very often. Thanks for that bit of info CL-Ed, maybe I'll look more into it and give it a try myself.

Yeah I'm aware of that and the good thing is that there's all kind of people and businesses you could support, so everyone could choose for himself.
I've made1500$ in loans for the last couple of years and only one 25$ loan was never repaid so far to me, so it's a great option to help using your CL chips.

Yeah I've recycled hundreds through there over the years and my grand total of not being repaid is something like only $9. You can check what they call the "field partner risk rating" when deciding on whether to loan and its a rating out of 5 stars. If you stick to three stars or higher then in my experience you're going to get repaid. The only time I didn't get the full amount back was when I chose one with only a one star rating so I knew the risk.

You can also check the time period for the loan repayments before lending. I try to stick to 18 months or shorter because then I get my $25 back quicker to re-lend.

Do you make money back, like any sort of profit for being a good Samaritan to people in need?

Yes, it is a kind of micro-financing for the people in developing countries.
They have very limited access to any kind of capitals and funds, so this kind of service is very helpful.

I made two loans which were paid back.
And today, I re-lent it to another Myanmar family.

No there's not any profit in that if I understood your question correctly, the funds repaid are the exact amount you've lent earlier but after the repayment you could choose between re-lend the funds again or withdraw to Pay Pal account.
