Case Study: Kiva achieves faster microloan matching and streamlined finance with Oracle NetSuite

Kiva Taps NetSuite to Remove Logjams and Match More Microloan Applicants With Lenders

Kiva is a San Francisco–based nonprofit that has connected nearly 2 million entrepreneurs across 66 countries with $785 million in microloans. Growth was being hampered by antiquated technology—manual processes, disparate data, slow expense approvals and delayed budget reporting—creating friction for financing, auditing and IRS compliance.

A donated NetSuite ERP implementation replaced Microsoft Office/QuickBooks and automated accounting, multi-currency calculations, expense and payables management, and reporting. The result: budget reports in hours instead of days, faster expense approvals, streamlined audits and compliance, improved financial visibility, and the capacity to scale while focusing on Kiva’s core mission.
