EarnIn: Your Money in Advance 4+

Pros: - app is near bug free - the service itself is fast and only the only expense is how much gratuity you’d like to provide, personally I do about 10-15% because that would be the equivalent of an okay credit card - when I changed jobs and my schedule went from biweekly to monthly I had some overdrawn charges, I worked with earnin to reverse that and get my account in good standing promptly, thank you! Cons: - only con i experienced is that when I went from biweekly to monthly my monthly “borrow” amount was cut in half, this is because a pay period is treated the same no matter the duration. I’d suggest that users that get paid monthly have double the maximum, this would give me the same amount of flexibility I had before at my last job. It also gives me an opportunity to tip more. I hope to see this in the future Thanks for your hard work team, you’ve made a great service!

Update: I would like to reiterate from above that the opportunity to borrow is lower now that I get paid monthly instead of biweekly. Before I was able to tip more a month, two times the tip on my current limit. The risk is the same because it is the same net amount of money I used to be trusted with, I feel like this is a huge opportunity for financial gain, to help make our experience better.

Please create a ipad app. I use it on a keyboard and would love to see my repeatings bills on it. I love that feature, thank you for adding it.

I’m writing this review to extend my eternal gratitude. I had managed to get into a bad patch of my life where I was nearly going to lose my job and my home. I had been plagued with bad habits and some addictions, which I suspect transpired from the great pressure in my leadership position. I know, that seems a bit ironic, but it can easily happen to anyone that is going above and beyond at the job. I forgot about myself in the process. I knew I needed to do something about it quickly. I ceased all at once and went through lots of pain in the coming days. With that said, I knew that wouldn’t be enough to climb my way out of the financial hole quickly enough to stay living here. In my desperate search for answers, I stumbled upon this app. All I needed was about $400 to make the difference and break even. I prayed for this daily and I was blessed. Though it stated I would only be able to withdrawal $100 to start from the first pay period, it was much to my surprise that I had been granted the option of taking out up to $400, the exact amount I needed. All I have to say is keep up the great work with continuing to provide this option for those struggling. And I hope others can also triumph from their shortcomings. It’s certainty not easy, but this app makes it easier. This app saved me from going homeless and that is a miracle. Thank you so much for being awesome and providing the public a great service.

This is too good to be true you might wonder, like I did, so when they asked for my bank information and were verifying it by adding a dollar then subtracting it I thought I just fooled myself. I waited it out because I had no other choice, and thank goodness I did. Because this app literally fed me when I was going through serious hardship and they helped me pay off my overdue credit card on time by just allowing me to get the money already earned at work. Even through this Pandemic, they’re still operating and doing the best they can. This was my only issue: my bank is a credit union, so direct deposit hit a day early but always in the afternoon, so Earnin deducted the money I borrowed that morning as they should, making my account negative and incurring overdraft fees. I thought this was part of the “catch”. I contacted their support team late at night (I think around 11 or 12) because I commute 2 hours and a half to and from work (each way. Yeah, I was really going through it that year) and told them Earnin pulled too early in the day. They asked me to screenshot the overdraft fees for a refund, which happened right then and there and allowed me to quickly get groceries before the train came.

All in all, if you’re really going through financial hardship, please trust on me that this is the perfect app. I’m writing This because I’m having one of those “I’m grateful for this “ moments. Thanks for taking the time to read :)
