Most people grab MoneyLion for the Instacash perk: cash really can show up in minutes, and you can repay in chunks or push the due-date if you need to. Limits start small (often $25-$100, capped at $100 per pull even if your total limit is higher) and move up to $250-ish or more for steady users. The flipside is cost: there’s a $9-$15 monthly membership, an $8-$11 instant-transfer fee on every withdrawal, plus two separate “tip” prompts that many find pushy. A few say money first lands in a RoarMoney wallet, so you’ll pay again to move it to your real checking.
Credit-builder loans exist but tie up your own cash for weeks and carry extra charges, so several reviewers call them “not worth it.” Pop-ups for Mr Beast giveaways, ads and “boost” requests crowd the screen. Glitches are common—address or ID won’t verify, the app freezes at log-in, bank links drop, games don’t track rewards—and support often routes to bots or endless holds. Cancelling or deleting an account (and stopping the monthly fee) takes multiple calls, and a handful of users report surprise withdrawals or duplicate repayments.
Bottom line: handy when you’re truly stuck and can stomach the fees, but be ready for low advance amounts, heavy upsells and spotty customer service.

Summary by feature
MoneyLion customer service
Roughly 26% of recent reviews are complaints, and support replies to nearly all of them (98%). While a fair share of those complaints are pretty harsh, the responses are typically helpful—only a tiny few feel dismissive or neutral. Users do get quick engagement from the team, but the steady stream of tough feedback shows there’s still work to do.
