Instacash is a 0% interest 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.

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.

It's helped me out in a pinch when I was desperate but can't recommend. They only allow withdrawals of 100 at a time and charge an 8.99 for EACH withdrawal. Then they press you on leaving a tip in addition to the fee that they claim is optional. Several times the transfer wouldn't go through until I left a tip. The fees and tips are highly predatory. I paid off my balance and didn't request more money and they sent me an email claiming repayment failed and I had an unpaid balance. SMH.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Tierra. We understand your concerns around fees and tips, and we're glad we were able to clear up the repayment email—it was sent in error. If you need anything else, we’re here to help: https://mlion.info/customerhelp

I have tried just about ALL of the payday advance apps, and I gotta say, without a doubt, that Moneylion is THE BEST payday advance app. There isn't a subscription required for basic things like cash advances. Plus, if you consistently pay on time, then you can build up your cash advance limit fast. Overall, I've had a great experience with Moneylion, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
