Celebrating 20 years of Kiva and PayPal working together to support entrepreneurs worldwide

(NASDAQ:PYPL) PayPal and Kiva have renewed their partnership for an additional five years, extending a collaboration that has lasted more than 20 years. PayPal powers all lending activity on Kiva, ensuring that 100% of every dollar lent goes directly to fund loans for entrepreneurs worldwide. Kiva is a crowdfunding nonprofit that enables anyone with $25 to lend to small businesses in over 80 countries. Vishal Ghotge, CEO of Kiva, stated that the renewal is focused on both the future and the past, emphasizing the impact entrepreneurs and small business owners have on their communities. More than 2 million people have made a loan on Kiva, resulting in over 9 million loan transactions. These transactions have led to more than $2.6 billion in loans to entrepreneurs across more than 100 countries. Currently, a loan is made on Kiva every 6 seconds, with approximately $18.2K lent every hour. Amy Bonitatibus, Chief Corporate Affairs & Communications Officer at PayPal, highlighted the enduring nature of the partnership and PayPal's ongoing support for communities through digital tools. Testimonials from Kiva lenders and recipients, such as Janae from Missouri and Kiran from Nepal, illustrate the personal impact of these loans. Kiran, a student from Nepal, was able to pursue higher education through a Kiva loan when traditional loans were inaccessible. As part of its 2025 Global Impact Report, PayPal announced a new 2030 goal to support 25 million people and small businesses with resources, skills, and training to thrive in the digital economy. Kiva's global network of entrepreneurs and small business owners is included in this commitment. The partnership demonstrates the role of technology in expanding access to opportunity and supporting economic growth.
