PayPal Data Center Upgrade Tonight 8:30-11:00 PM PDT

June 18, 2007

Here's some news about an upcoming PayPal upgrade that we want to
share with you!

PayPal has a data center upgrade scheduled on June 18th from 8:30 PM
until around 11:00 PM PDT. During this time, there will be a PayPal
system-wide service interruption.

The PayPal site will be unavailable and the majority of PayPal
features will not be functioning. For more details about this PayPal update select this link:

What this means for Kiva.org:
Kiva.org will be unable to process all loans and donations through
PayPal from 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM PDT on Monday, June 18th.

Kiva users will still be able to lend to Kiva businesses using gift
certificates and pre-existing Kiva credit during the upgrade, as these
payment methods do not require the use of PayPal!

We're so sorry for this disruption, but please come back to Kiva.org
to lend when PayPal is back up and running better than ever!
