What's the $18M Brigit Cash Advance FTC Settlement?

The FTC has settled a nearly $18 million lawsuit with Brigit, a personal finance app provider. The FTC originally filed the lawsuit on behalf of consumers due to Brigit's alleged deceptive practices preying on consumers. According to the FTC, Brigit advertised "instant" cash advances of up to $250 for people living paycheck-to-paycheck but often failed to deliver the promised amounts and charged fees for immediate access. The company also locked consumers into a $9.99 monthly membership that was exceedingly difficult to cancel.

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

The total settlement amount is $18 million, with more than $17 million being sent to consumers harmed by Brigit's deceptive claims and business practices forcing users to jump through hoops to cancel their monthly subscriptions.

How Do I Qualify For a Payout?

To qualify for a payout, you must be one of the 1,818,930 Brigit members who paid for instant cash advances. Eligible consumers will receive an email between November 4, 2024, and November 15, 2024, with instructions on how to claim their refund.
