It takes weeks to withdraw money from my Kiva account

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

When I decided to withdraw some money from my Kiva account, I was informed:

This email confirms your withdrawal request of $25.00. You can expect the funds to be deposited into your paypal account within 1-3 weeks.

This astonished me. The withdrawal is conducted via paypal (as is the upload). The upload was almost instantly. Therefore I did not expect the withdrawal to take weeks.

BTW: So far my Kiva loans all pay on time.

A p2p lending account as Christmas gift

MyC4 users can now easily give someone a MyC4 account as Christmas gift. With a 6 step process the user creates an account, transfers money and prints a christmas voucher.
The recipient is all set to start investing in loans.

Is this a clever viral marketing idea? Post your take on this in the wiseclerk forum!
