As a participating lender member, I acknowledge and understand the importance of effectively managing loaned funds in micro-lending, particularly in volatile currency environments like USD to Kenyan Shillings fluctuations. I understand that Positiviti and Open Valley Investment Group Limited (OVIG) allocate my loaned funds strategically for operational use, which includes program expenses, direct micro-lending operations in Kenya, and staff and operational costs. I also understand that this approach maximizes impact and sustainability, ensuring Positiviti and Open Valley Investment Group Limited (OVIG) remain competitive while empowering local communities through responsible micro-lending practices.
As a participating lender member, I acknowledge and understand that Positiviti has the right to conduct a credit check/background check. This measure ensures compliance with authorities and safeguards against corruption, terrorism, money laundering, or fraud. Additionally, you understand that the administrative office is required to report the value of any cash or assets withdrawn from Positiviti. This information is reported to both the Lender member and the IRS via IRS Form 1099-INT. Form 1099-INT will be issued to participating Positiviti Lender members by January 31st of the year following any asset withdrawal from the program.
