Has anyone else seen this message? Is it something I did to trigger this? I didn't get any e-mail or anything, just this message when I tried to withdraw. Account balance of ~$50 and ~$200 still in active loans.


Not sure if I have the image uploaded, so here's the text:

"[in bold:] Withdrawals are not allowed from this account.
This account is tagged as non-withdrawable. This has legal implications, and no withdrawals are allowed from this type of account."


Huh?  Thanks!

Hello Athada,

Hopefully you have already contacted Kiva Customer Service about this, as only they can resolve it for you.

The only thing I can do is guess, and three possibilities come to mind.

1.  At some point your account was one of those that had suspicious or fraudulent withdrawal attempts and has been flagged.  But I would think that you would have been made aware if such an attempt was made at the time it happened.

2.  You account was mistakenly flagged.

3.  All accounts are getting this error message due to a programmatic error.*

Please do let us know when Kiva resolves this for you! 

-Kerry-

*ETA: I was able to withdraw from one of my accounts with no problem, so this seems to be unlikely.

"Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams." - President Barack Obama, June 4, 2009

Got a prompt reply from Kiva staff and they noted that:

It seems there's a bug in our system that is causing that error, and I have confirmed that your Kiva account is not non-withdrawable. Our team is working to resolve the issue,b ut in the meantime, if you would like to withdraw funds from your Kiva account, I'd be glad to assist you with that...

So far, so good.

Glad I came here before I panicked.

E-mailed Kiva CS and basically got the same message about it being a bug.

I made a withdrawal request manually by e-mailing. I wonder when this "bug" will get fixed.
