Kiva and PayPal
I've always been morally divided on using Kiva, since the service is great, but they require paying with PayPal. I wrote them a while back and asked if they had any intentions on offering other payment methods, but they said that had no plans to offer additional methods. Today, I decided that I am going to stop using Kiva until they offer other ways to pay. I sent them this message to let them know why.
I just wanted to write and let you know that I now intend to no longer loan any further money with Kiva, and will be withdrawing any funds as loans are paid off. I have made 49 loans so far, and really think this is a great service. However, it has always disturbed me that I have to use PayPal to interact with your service. They are a very morally corrupt company, and it seems counteractive to your cause to use them at all, let alone require using them. If you ever allow other payment methods, such as Amazon, Google, or direct credit cards, I will be happy to resume using Kiva.
