You're welcome, Henry!  Even at that, it seems occasionally there is a "glitch," where these updates don't get sent out--as happened to me more than a week ago!  So, just be prepared! Smiley

I should add that these repayment e-mails--especially the "frustrating" kind with no name of the borrower attached--read something like this: 


"Dear ____________,

The business you have loaned to, Food Production and Sales, has made a repayment of $38.00.  The total amount repaid up to now is $190.00.  The payment was collected and deposited by Ariana Financial Services - Mercy Corps.   This repayment will be divided amongst all the lenders who helped to fund this business, depending upon the percentage each lender contributed.  Note that you cannot actually withdraw or reloan these funds until after the loan term is complete.Comment:

Of course, here, the "clue" is the name of the MFI--but sometimes, even that isn't included!  I have a number of businesses named "Trading," for example, and sometimes it just drives me crazy, trying to figure out which one I have gotten a payment from!  Of course, it would help to add a link to the business in these repayment e-mails, as has already been mentioned under Suggestions--just as a link to the business is included in journal-entry e-mails!  Why this hasn't yet happened escapes me, but I haven't yet asked Kiva directly about it, either!
