How I Became An International Banker In Four Easy Steps

Posted by Andrew Meyer on May 6, 2007

1. Had an extra $25 in my bank account.

2. Located a computer with internet access and went to Kiva.org.

3. Browsed the entrepreneur bios until I found a man named Karimbayli who wants to expand his budding welding business in Azerbaijan.

4. Sent $25 via PayPal to Karimbayli which he will then fully repay in 12-18 months.

It was that easy to become an international banker. And, all it took was $25, internet access and Kiva. I encourage all readers to visit Kiva.org and find your own entrepreneur to lend to. Let me know if you make a loan.

I will keep you updated on Karimbayli’s welding business.
