The FlyerTalk Lending Team on Kiva: Kiva.org is the not-for-profit microlending organization that networks people willing to lend to small entrepreneurs in developing nations using available technology and international networking / collaboration, and how Kiva.org had become an approved FlyerTalk charity thanks to TalkBoard's approval June 29, 2008 <link> It is listed on the FlyerTalk Cares page.improving lives a small loan at a time.
"Kiva is a grassroots project started by a team with a big idea: one-to-one, real-time lending to the poor via the Internet. Currently, we take no cut of the loan you make through our site -- 100% goes to the entrepreneur. We suggest a 10% donation, in addition to your loan, to help us cover our costs. Kiva is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and your donation is tax-deductible for US taxpayers." (Suggested donations for administrative overhead, low though that is, are not required - you may lend 100% if you so choose.)
As of 15 May 2016 it was 607 FlyerTalk lending team who have lent $2,209,175 in 37,092 loans! And now as of 30 June 2019 it is 941 members who have lent $6,415,775 in 71,722 loans! Our motto is: "We loan because: We want to fight global poverty while earning miles." This is tangible evidence Flyertalk Cares! There are likely other FlyerTalkers on Kiva who have not joined - if you are one of them, do so now to show your and FT's support and involvement. If you haven't lent yet, check it out - you may want to join up. For the low-income entrepreneurs on five continents who are requesting loans, microlending is significant - and it takes a lot of drops to fill the bucket. (Read on to see updates!) Now, we can see this sophisticated network link resources from those who can lend (no interest, sorry!) with those who are needy, worthy and screened by local NGOs and have a need to start / expand their small business to enhance their and their families' survival. And, using PayPal and your FFP/FFG linked card or account, you can earn miles or points with many loans! FlyerTalkers are lending, and fulfilling one of FT's seminal values, that of "paying it forward." Read more about Kiva.org, who supports and enables it (Intel, Google, Paypal, Intuit and many others,) and see if you have $25.00 (or more) you can lend someone deserving in a land you have visited and enjoyed (or not.) This is how it works:  Add your experiences here, or if you haven't joined... won't you consider joining the FlyerTalker Lending Team?

"if needed based on the amounts you've received, we will use the information you've provided to send you a Form-1099-K in January"
Anyone else received this?

Seems like a money-grab by paypal. they like to freeze accounts and such, no matter how long your account has been open or for whatever reason they decide

I saw this report on Doctor of Credit this week:"A major under-reported facet of the massive $1.9 stimulus bill (round 3) is that it strengthens requirements on payment processors like Paypal to report on income received through their platforms
Beginning on January 1, 2022, third party payment processors will have to report any income for goods or services exceeding $600 during the calendar year on a form 1099-K. Previously, processors only had to report this income if it was BOTH: (a) $20,000 or more during the calendar year, and (b) 200 transactions or more. This allowed most smaller stuff (like Topcashback, Ebates, PFS, Swagbucks payments) to go unreported."

I am concerned that I will get a 1099 for all of my Kiva to Pay Pal transfers starting in 2022.

I've been dealing with PayPal 1099s off and on for several years now. Had some hiccups 3-4 years ago when they tried to report it as "income" - but got PayPal to reissue the form and resolved the issue. I'm not even sure I got a 1099 from them the last year or two...
PS - almost midnight here on US East Coast...looks like we'll be ending the year around:
1.083 team members
$10,793,195 funded
122,698 loans

Did 110K in loans in 5 years. You would think they need interest-free money, but I guess not.

Update:
I didn’t receive a tax form from PP last year. Withdrawals of > 10,000.
My default rate is less than 0.5%. Delinquency has also improved dramatically.
great way to use OM/OD/ST GC.
