Brigit

4.3No SSN requiredFacts verified September 11, 2026

Brigit lends $25 to $500 with no interest, no late fees and no credit check. Maine residents are capped at $250. You do not need a Social Security number for a cash advance, just a checking account open 60 days with three recurring deposits. Getting money through the app usually means a paid plan: $8.99 a month for Plus or $15.99 for Premium. Brigit terms allow charging Plus users as much as $9.99. There is also a free option: email support and ask for an advance without subscribing.

Eligibility
US residents 18 or older. No Social Security number is needed for Instant Cash; the SSN is only required for Credit Builder. Brigit wants a primary checking account used daily, at least 60 days of history, a balance above $0, and at least three recurring deposits from the same employer or deposit source. ATM deposits, paper checks, cash transfers and irregular pay schedules do not qualify. A Brigit Score of 40 to 100 is needed. Advances run $25 to $500, but most qualify for $50 to $100 and the average advance was $73. Maine residents are capped at $250. One advance at a time. Advances are NOT reported to consumer reporting agencies and Brigit will not pursue collections.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Turn on Autopilot and Brigit can send cash before you overdraft.
  • No Social Security number needed, which helps if you are new to the US.
  • By contract, Brigit will not send an unpaid advance to collections.

Cons

  • Plus is $8.99 a month right now, but the terms allow up to $9.99.
  • Need it fast? An express fee up to $5.99 stacks on top, even on a $25 advance.
  • You need three recurring deposits and a checking account 60 or more days old.
