Lend within your circle
A loan between people you trust, made simple.
Kinlend turns a handshake loan with family or a friend into a clear agreement, a real payment plan, and gentle reminders — so the money comes back and the relationship stays whole.
No password to remember. Kinlend is a tool, not a lender — no money ever moves through it.
12 monthly payments · 0% interest
How it works
Three calm steps, from handshake to paid off
You set it up in a couple of minutes. Kinlend keeps the record tidy the rest of the way.
Write it up together
Enter the amount, pick a payment plan, and Kinlend builds a plain-language agreement and a full schedule — interest optional, always capped and fair.
Both of you sign
Invite the other person by email. They review and e-sign from their own phone, so you both remember the exact same terms.
Track it to payoff
Mark payments as they happen, both confirm, and watch the balance fall. Gentle reminders keep it on track — never pushy.
What Kinlend is
A facilitator — never the bank
Every year people lend more than $180 billion to the people they trust most, and almost none of it is written down. Kinlend makes that official and effortless.
What Kinlend is
- A facilitator that makes a trusted loan official
- An e-signed agreement and a clear payment schedule
- Tracking, two-sided payment confirmation, and friendly reminders
- Private to the two people on the loan
What Kinlend is not
- Not a bank and not a lender
- Not a place to borrow from strangers
- Not a debt collector or a credit product
- Never the party that holds or moves your money
Why people use it
It feels like a friend handled the paperwork
Not like a bank sent a notice. Plain words, a calm design, and a loan you’d actually be glad to share.
Plain-language agreement
A real, e-signed promissory note in words anyone can read — download a copy any time.
An honest payment plan
A true amortization schedule with every date and amount, and the total cost shown up front.
Fair by design
0% interest is the default. If you do charge, percentage rates are capped at 36% APR.
Both see the same thing
You each follow the same loan from your own device — signatures, payments, and balance in sync.
Gentle reminders
Friendly nudges as payments come due, so nothing slips and no one has to be the bad guy.
Yours and private
