The steal your money
I signed up around 10 years ago and did a few loans also signed up for the auto withdraw to add funds slowly over time. I forgot about the account and now in need of my funds. They will only return my funds that have been used for lending, all my unused/unlent funds they are keeping unless I lend it. DO NOT give Kiva your cash, find somewhere else to donate. I first off never agreed to lend funds when I signed up years ago, they have way too much fine print now.
Now they have even added some sneaky tactics about auto donations to kiva as well as things like keeping deactivated accounts funds?? These should be a red flag to any investors/donators, the Organization is clearly have some problems and basically resorting to stealing.
They will reply here that there are ways to turn off some of these new I’ll call them scams like the auto donate function. I tried disable it but the website won’t save the option(I tried multiple times)…something’s fishy.
Again dont give them your money!

Hi, please read our Terms of Use for questions related to your withdrawal: https://www.kiva.org/legal/terms
Easy App
The App makes it easier to use Kiva to give to others. With a click of a button. That’s all it takes.
Best way to make a difference
This is the best way to drive change in the world in ways that actually matter. Been a Kiva user for a decade and super happy that I can do this from my phone now. But beyond that this is actually a very well designed and easy to use app!
Smart and Easy way to Give
The Kiva app gives me periodic reminders to help people create self-determination for themselves and their communities.
Helping people is good.
Title pretty much sums it up, Kiva allows you to expand your reach. I like it, I like it a lot.
Inspiring and easy to use
The app is simple and easy to use. I deposited money to lend and selecting how to lend it with my kids has really open their eyes and empowered them to realize they can help make a difference.
Giving with a purpose
I love the fact that this platform exists where we can see the actual impact out donations are making..
Easy way to find great people to support
I love Kiva. Now I want to figure out if they have an API.
Help lift the world out of poverty
I’m new to Kiva, but I wanted to slowly build up a basket of money that can help people get access to capital so that they can build better lives. It’s a long road to go, but these loans will make a big difference in the long tail.
