  1. [R3] Brigit 3/5 · US Never increased: Been with them for over a year always paid on time but never get more then 50 at a time it’s reliable but where is the increase?
  2. [R6] Brigit 3/5 · US App review: This is a fairly decent app quick response on approval but they could do better at increasing the borrow limit
  3. [R15] Brigit 3/5 · US Limited: I’ve been with Brigit for a few years now with no issues and they still haven’t increased my cash advance limit above $70
  4. [R66] MoneyLion 3/5 · US Keeps changing my amount: I’ve had this account for awhile and had an advance of almost $700-nothing changed and they dropped my advance to $350. Don’t like this can happen without any warning or notice.
  5. [R12] Brigit 3/5 · US My issues: Disconnects from bank a lot and I use the same debit all the time yet most the time it never verifies it and I have to wait the two days. Even tho it’s been verified before. Also borrow limit is always the same. Has never increased
  6. [R27] Brigit 3/5 · US Too many problems: I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app so many times and it keeps disconnecting my bank then after the codes, I’m stuck in the loop after I verify my paychecks. It’s so freaking frustrating and annoying
  7. [R43] Brigit 2/5 · US Not worth it: slow to update and eligibility never changes.: Of all these garbage cash advance apps this is definitely not the best of the bunch. On time payments take forever to “process” and as usual their support just reads from a script and they can’t really help you aside from changing due dates of payments. Doesn’t matter if your bank posts the payment, their “system” takes 2-5 business days
  8. [R64] MoneyLion 1/5 · US Worst app: Don’t allow me to add my credit card which has the same name and user as my bank, called customer service and they couldn’t help me
  9. [R7] Brigit 1/5 · US DONT USE -SCAM: Error every time I link my debit card, customer support is not available, app wont even open anymore just freezes, cash advances are so low despite having a healthy balance, advances take 10 days to be shown as "paid off" even though the money has been taken out of my bank account. THIS IS A SCAM
  10. [R10] Brigit 1/5 · US Company is a SCAM: This company/app DOES NOT keep their word and has the WORST customer support in human history! Don’t download because the company will try and SCAM YOU OUT OF MONEY THEY OWE YOU
  11. [R54] Brigit 5/5 · US Not good lately: Lately been getting nothing but errors when accepting an advance …haven’t been able to get one and customer support hasn’t gotten back to me at all…
  12. [R111] MoneyLion 1/5 · US Thiefs: DO NOT USE! It has been almost 2 yrs since I closed my ML account due to consistent account access issues that they were unable to resolve. I couldn’t access my account for months, so I called & closed it. Although I was assured I would receive a Check in the mail with my monies within 10 business days, I still haven’t been able to get my monies returned. Their Customer Service is a comple
  13. [R18] Brigit 3/5 · US Stop taking extra money: Not a bad loan app, but you keep switching my monthly plan randomly from the $8.99 to the $15.99 and its startin to piss me off.
  14. [R21] Brigit 3/5 · US Review: I don’t understand the 8.99 monthly subscription.
  15. [R30] Brigit 3/5 · US Subscription Trap: App is good if you’re in a pinch and need quick money. Subscription rolls and is locked in monthly so you pay an additional subscription fee after cancelling.
  16. [R89] MoneyLion 1/5 · US DO NOT DOWNLOAD: These people are crooks they keep taking money out of my account even after I paid back my cash advance. Stay away from this app
  17. [R28] Brigit 1/5 · US Hidden charges: I thought this was a great app until I was randomly charged $39 for a Bright Membership. It doesn’t show any information on where the charge is from or what it’s for. They don’t have any real people to get in contact with immediately. Use at your own risk. I believe it’s false advertising and doesn’t fully support when you have an issue. I don’t like having money taken for no reaso
  18. [R49] Brigit 1/5 · US Don’t trust this app!!!: They changed their service plan and charged my account without permission for years I seen my bank statement and stole hundreds over the multiple years!! My bank account was connected so they kept charging without any permission and the subscription never showed up besides when it comes out of my bank!! Don’t make the same mistakes in trusting this shady company they had t
  19. [R76] MoneyLion 1/5 · US Unprofessional & Incompetent: I had the app for a few months, then got a new phone. Went to log in again and got a message saying “Oh snap! Looks like we’ve hit a snag!” When I called customer service it took them a few days of me calling back every day for them to have me answer a list of three questions and then was told that they would have their ”account technician” look into it and they would
