Your cash will be deposited into your bank account, so you can cover that unexpected bill or have cash on hand when you need it. To access it immediately, you will pay a small Express Delivery fee2. Otherwise, it will be delivered in 2-3 business days for no fee. No interest or tips, ever.

Balance is greater than $0:

  • We’ve found that members with less than $0 in their bank account have trouble using our service to maximize their financial health.
  • If your balance is above $0, please hold tight until we receive updates from your bank to meet this requirement.

You have a cash cushion in your account at the end of day you receive your paycheck:

  • We require a minimum average end-of-day balance on days you receive your paycheck to make sure that you can repay Brigit on time.

  • To qualify for Brigit Instant Cash you must have at least three recurring deposits from the same employer or deposit source.

Please note: 

  • ATM deposits, paper checks, cash transfers, or paychecks with irregular pay schedules do not qualify at this time.

What’s my Brigit score?

Brigit looks at your account information and calculates a Brigit score from 0-100. The score is used to determine whether you qualify for Brigit Instant Cash.

Brigit calculates this score by looking at your account data across three categories: Bank Account Health, Spending Behavior, and Earnings Profile.

 

What score do I need to qualify for Brigit Instant Cash?

The Brigit app will tell you the minimum score you will need to qualify. Scores can range from 40 to 100.

 

How is my score calculated?

Brigit calculates this score by looking at your account data across three categories: Bank Account Health, Spending Behavior, and Earnings Profile.

 

Bank Account Health:

This score factor primarily reflects:

  1. Balance status and fees: Your average balance over time and the number of bank fees you’ve been charged.
  2. Account activity: How long your bank account has been active and how often you use your account.

Earnings Profile:

This score factor is made up of two main contributing general attributes:

  1. Monthly recurring deposits: Deposit amount from the same employer or another deposit source.
  2. Deposit history: Deposit size and number of recurring deposits in your account.

Spending Behavior:

This score factor primarily reflects:

  1. Budgeting habits: How much you spend vs earn each month.
  2. Bill payment history: How often you make routine bill payments.

What are Auto Advances?

Auto Advances are a feature that will automatically make sure you’re covered if you’re at risk of an overdraft. We know when to send you cash by looking at your balance and spending patterns to predict if you’ll be at risk of an overdraft in the near future

Please note:

  • You need to qualify for Instant Cash
  • You always have the option to turn off auto advances
  • You can still choose to manually request an advance if you have auto advances enabled
  • You can only have one advance outstanding at a time
