Where can I find my Kiva Card code:

Kiva issues two types of cards. Physical cards are the size and shape of a credit card,while digital cards are emailed or printed from our website.

Here are instructions for how to redeem your Kiva Card. When you're ready, click “Get Started, Find a Loan.”

Choose a borrower

There are hundreds of loans to fund on Kiva. To redeem your Kiva Card start by selecting a loan to support from our list of fundraising loans.
2

Click to lend

When you find a borrower you’d like to support, click the “Lend $25” button to add that loan to your basket.
3

Make an optional donation

At checkout, you'll have the option to make a small donation to Kiva on top of your loan, to help us cover our operating expenses. Click “Edit” to change or remove the donation amount.

Enter Kiva Card code

On the “Review & Pay” page of checkout, enter the unique code from your Kiva Card and click “Apply.” To complete your loan, click “Complete Order.”

Do I have to make a donation to Kiva?: No, donations to Kiva are optional. If you don't want to make a donation, click “Edit” below the donation amount and select “$0.00 (Not Now)” and then “Save.”
Where can I find my Kiva Card code?: For physical Kiva Cards, the code is printed on the back. Kiva Cards sent via email or printed at home have the 16-digit code noted on the front.
Can I donate my Kiva Card without making a loan?: Yes, simply do nothing and your Kiva Card will convert to a donation one year from the purchase date. Over the year you may receive reminders to make a loan but those will stop once the card becomes a donation. Unfortunately there is no way to convert a Kiva Card to a donation before the expiration date.
