I think the repayment emails should have the name of the person instead of the business name...since the business names are so generic. Once you have a few different loans, it's hard to figure out who repaid.
Or maybe a link to the loan page directly in the email.

I actually find the business names helps 'cause many of my lenders have the same name (and its not just because I keep lending to people with my name). Having both would be great. And a link to the journal.

I get up in the morning determined to both change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes, this makes planning the day difficult.

Maybe it's unique to our portfolio, but we have a bunch of businesses named "retail" which may be the English translation of their real name but nevertheless makes them all the same. The Borrower's name would be a nice addition.

I agree. It can be confusing who is actually paying and a name would be helpful. |

Yes. I got a repayment notice overnight saying, "Materials". Now I have to page through my Portfolio to try to figure out who made that payment.
In the same email, I received noticed that 3 Cambodian entrepreneurs had made repayments. All the Cambodian loans are noted by lender name; I know *exactly* who made those payments.

Henry,
I'm not on that loan, but make sure you have checked the box at the bottom of Kiva's "My Account" (Personal Information) page, to receive updates on the businesses you have loaned to!
