⚠️ Important: Limits Vary
Even with a Plus plan, your actual limit depends on your Brigit Score. You may start with $50-$100 and need to build up to $250 over time. The Plus plan sets the maximum at $250, but doesn't guarantee that amount.
Step-by-Step: Get $250 from Brigit
1 Download Brigit & Create Account
Download from App Store or Google Play. Create your account with email, phone, and basic information.
2 Connect Your Bank Account
Link your primary checking account through Plaid. Use the account where you receive direct deposits. Account must have 60+ days of history.
3 Upgrade to Plus Plan ($8.99/mo)
The Free plan caps advances at $50. You need Plus ($8.99) or Premium ($14.99) to access up to $250.
Go to Settings → Subscription → Upgrade to Plus
4 Wait for Your Limit
Brigit will analyze your bank account and assign a limit. This may take a few minutes to a few days. Most users start with $50-$150, not the full $250.
5 Build Your Brigit Score
If your initial limit is below $250, you'll need to build trust:
- Take and repay smaller advances on time
- Maintain positive bank balance
- Keep consistent direct deposits
- Avoid overdrafts
Check back weekly—limits often increase automatically.
6 Request $250 Advance
Once your limit reaches $250:
- Open Brigit app
- Tap "Get Cash" or "Instant Cash"
- Slide to $250
- Choose Express (~20 min) or Standard (2-3 days)
- Confirm request

Brigit: FAQ
Can I get $250 immediately after signing up with Brigit?
Unlikely. Most users start with $50-$150 limits regardless of plan. Brigit needs to verify your income patterns and build trust.
I have Plus but my limit is only $100. Why with Brigit?
Your plan sets the maximum possible limit, but your actual limit depends on your Brigit Score. Build trust by repaying advances and maintaining good account health.
How do I increase my limit to $250 with Brigit?

What if I need more than $250 with Brigit?
Upgrade to Premium ($14.99/mo) for up to $500 max limit.
💡 Pro Tip
Don't request the maximum every time. Taking smaller advances and repaying them builds trust faster than maxing out your limit.
