1 Instacash is a 0% APR cash advance service provided by MoneyLion. Your available Instacash advance limit will be displayed to you in the MoneyLion mobile app and may change from time to time. Your limit will be based on your direct deposits, account transaction history, and other factors as determined by MoneyLion. This service has no mandatory fees. You may leave an optional tip and pay an optional Turbo Fee for expedited funds delivery. For a $40 Instacash advance with a Turbo Fee of $4.99, your repayment amount will be $44.99. Generally, your scheduled repayment date will be your next direct deposit date which can range from weekly to monthly depending on your deposit cycle. An Instacash advance is a non-recourse product, not a personal loan, and there is no mandatory minimum or maximum timeframe for repayment; you will not be eligible to request a new advance until your outstanding balance is paid. See Membership Agreement and http://help.moneylion.com for additional terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements.

Increased Instacash limit requires recurring direct deposit into RoarMoney account. Instacash is an optional service offered by MoneyLion. Terms and eligibility requirements apply.

Assuming all 60 payments are made on time, the total amount paid would be $14,657.87. All loan offers on the MoneyLion marketplace require your application and approval by the lender.

0 STARS..Up until last month, this app was an amazing financial lifesaver; however, a few mnths ago, they attempted to charge me fees, claiming it wasn't paid when I received my instacash. Well after multiple attempts, I was finally refunded my money, but noticed the same charge to my bank acct yesterday w/out my authorization. In addition, they've also reduced my borrowing limit because I choose not to tip every time - which is quite expensive. If I could afford to, I wouldn't be borrowing.

So many freaking fees. I use the advances to help when needed, but Jesus crist, if I could have just one fee instead of several, would be great. also asking to tip 3 times is ridiculous. I like the information it gives overall, but there are several apps where you can have a good amount of cash advance and only pay one cheap fee, unlike this one.

We hear your frustration about the fees and tips. Instacash has no interest charges, only the optional Turbo fee for faster delivery, and tips are never required. We’ll share your feedback with our team as we work on improving the experience.

Very Intrusive, wont allow you to just select what you want and complete the agreed transaction. Forces you to jump through hoops and hides buttons trying to also force you into giving more money back to them. Lied about the amount it said I could borrow. Gave me only a fraction of the promised amount. Had to click through the process 3 or 4 times before it would /actually/ process the amount, giving me bs pop-ups the while time. I recommend the other lender apps.
