How do you calculate how much I can get?
- We calculate your advance amount by taking a percentage of your last couple of paychecks, assessing your spending relative to those paycheck amounts, and looking at your past advance history in Branch. As long as you meet all of our requirements (which can be found HERE) you should be able to receive an advance. More information on how we calculate advance limits can be found here.
-
How many advances can I take within the pay period?
- You can take as many advances as you'd like as long as you haven't met your advance limit. The average number of advances people usually take is 1-3.

How do I pay back the money?

Your advance payback is automatically deducted from the bank account you have connected. It will not be removed from your paycheck.

How many direct deposits do I need?

You need 2 months of direct deposits in order to use Branch Pay

2 months = 4 deposits if paid bi-weekly, 2 deposits if paid monthly, and 8 deposits if paid weekly

Is there interest or monthly recurring fees?
-
There are no interest fees, and Branch pays all transaction fees at no cost to the employee or employer. All funds are transferred instantly for free to your Branch Wallet. You can access these funds in three ways: spending via virtual or physical Branch debit card, withdrawing from an AllPoint ATM, or transferring to another bank account or debit card. Standard delivery to an external account or card is free, while instant delivery to an external account or card may incur a small fee. If you love the app, and you wish to show your support, we do offer the option to include a tip with each advance. Whether you choose to tip or not, the amount you tip has no impact on current or future advance amounts.
