Earnings has been a life line for me! Their reps, like Gay Ann, are very helpful and quick with solutions! I would recommend them to anyone!!

Earnin Response • May 26, 2020

So glad to hear this, Maryanne. We want to be available for our community's needs, so we're here for you 24/7. Thank you for your review!

Worst app and customer service
I have reached out to this company multiple times regarding incorrect balance info. Also, if you dont too them, your app won't work correctly. I've asked repeatedly for help during covid19 pandemic and they basically told me it wasnt their problem and I need to figure it out

Desired Outcome

Please submit a cancellation form so they can withdraw any funds from me since they are not going to do the right thing

Earnin Response • May 14, 2020

We regret that we were unable to come to a resolution regarding this community member's incorrect bank balance. Occasionally, it will take some time for the correct account information to reflect in the community member's Earnin account, usually due to bank delays. We would also like to emphasize that any tips to Earnin are voluntary and do not affect the community member's ***, earnings, or the ability to use the app effectively. Choosing not to leave a tip does not adversely affect our community members in any way. Upon checking, this community member has successfully deleted their account and are no longer using Earnin.

They have recently charged my account over 250, per their term and agreement they notify of missed payment I would recieve a notification. I didn't.
The account was charged in the amount of 250 when contacted the service they said it was for a transaction in January. I asked for contact back from a manger haven't recieved it. Logged into their chat to request another manger call 340 something other clients. I checked my banking record and verified they had already processed the repayment of the funds cashed out

Desired Outcome

I want my funds back

Earnin Response • May 14, 2020

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and you should have been notified via email as soon as we discovered our mistake. Earlier this year, we realized that you were not debited for Cash Outs made in January. We know this is frustrating and inconvenient, however, debiting money you've cashed out is necessary to keep Earnin running. Debits power the product for our community members - including our community members who are financially affected during these uncertain times. To make sure this doesn't happen in the future, we've made improvements to our debit system.

Customer Response • May 20, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
This is totally unacceptable even after finding the mistake of there was one on my end my bank is showing funds were taken for the said debit to take place. To take the funds without notification 4 months after during a pandemic isn't the way. And totally in error on your part. Unacceptable.

Earnin Response • May 26, 2020

We do understand your frustration and can assure you our community was our number one priority throughout the decision-making process. We value our community and appreciate their patience and support during this time.

If I could give a zero stars I would. This company was good until Covid-19 came into play and they began so show their true colors. They double debited my account for transactions from January. Kept asking me for screen shots of transactions I would provide them then they would ask for another screen shot of something else. Over and over in avoidance of admitting they were messing me over. Finally I got sick of sending screen shots. Then after debiting my account again they decided to lower my max cashout to $50. At a time like this. They call this a "community" but honestly they don't care about people at all. They are scammer and all of the reviews on here about their fraudulent transactions are most likely true. Steer clear people.

Earnin Response • May 14, 2020

We know how frustrating this is and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. In order for us to thoroughly investigate support related issues, screenshots are often necessary for us to review community member's accounts so we can come to a proper resolution. We know it can be a hassle, however, sending the proper screenshots is the most thorough way for us to make sure we have all the necessary information. After checking our system, we saw that this community member was not debited for Cash Outs they made in January (1/24/2020). As soon as we realized our mistake, the community member was notified via email that we would be debiting their account for the outstanding Cash Outs on 4/20/2020. While we regret there was a delay in the debiting process, debiting money our community members have cashed out is necessary to keep Earnin running. We have since made updates to our debiting system to ensure this issue does not happen again.

Customer Response • May 14, 2020

This company did this to me two months in a row and gave the same "we have updated our system so it doesn't happen again" response. Obviously nothing has been updated because it happened two month in a row. And as I said I was penalized for their error. It would need to be life or death in order for me to consider using this company again. As I said steer clear. Any company to treats their consumers like this during a pandemic should not be trusted.

I was debited *** dollars on 5/8/20 and I had not withdrew money from Earnin app. I was fraudulently charged.
I was charged on 5/8/20 for the amount of 100$ I had not use the service this payperiod so I should not have been charged. My bank account shows a 100$ charge. I was also charged 5/8 which is not a pay period day!!!

Desired Outcome

I would like the *** refunded to my account immediately.

Earnin Response • May 14, 2020

After reviewing this community member's account, we see that *** was debited on 5/8 for a Cash Out that was made on 4/9. We had previously tried to debit this amount on 4/17 but we see it was returned by the bank. When a debit is returned by the bank, Earnin will attempt to debit the community member's account when the funds become available, which is why they were debited on a day that was not their usual pay day. Upon checking, no duplicate debits were made for the Cash Out made on 4/9 and this debit was not made in error. We apologize for any confusion and hope that this explanation can put some color on when and why this community member was debited.

The company Earnin made a mistake in January and without more than a days notice they withdrew the amount from my account without contacting me.
The company Earnin, which gives cash advances forgot to debit my account in January for the amount of 200$. I was never notified about this mistake and I didn't realize this had ever happened. Now in the middle of this pandemic, when people are strapped for cash and jobless they decide to email me the day before letting me know they plan to debit my account, without asking permission, without trying to work out a possible solution. They withdrew the money the next day and it left me over drafted and without money to provide food for my family. If I had provided sufficient information in the correct timely manner I'd have prepared for this, or we could've worked out a payment plan. I was given one day to have 200$ in my account for a mistake I just found out about the day you're emailing me that you'll debit my account. This kind of practice should be fround upon, and you guys should be ashamed of trying to reconcile your mistakes in the middle of a pandemic when people are already struggling to food on the tables for their families. I'm super dissapointed in this comapnies ability to communicate about their mistakes and give a reasonable notification of a planned debit for a large amount... This is now how you retain loyal customers.

Desired Outcome

I want to pay this back incrementally, although they have already taken the money and left me broke.

Earnin Response • May 18, 2020

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and notified you as soon as we discovered our mistake. Debiting money you've cashed out is necessary to keep Earnin running. Debits power the product for our community members - including those most affected by the current economic landscape. To make sure this doesn't happen in the future, we've made improvements to our debit system.

Customer Response • May 25, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
You did something extremely horrible in this economic landscape, your explanation does not make any sense. You ruined my life in the middle of the economic landscape.

Earnin Response • Jun 09, 2020

We apologize to the community members affected by this issue and understand the potential impact on individual circumstances. We made this decision with our community in mind and chose an option that was best for our community.

Money removed before payday and charged $175 bank fees. Told no they don't do refunds to call my bank. Fool me once.........

Earnin Response • May 14, 2020

We thank the community member for bringing this to our attention and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. In this case, the community member reached out to us on 3/18 to inform us that their direct deposit would post on 3/20 instead of their usual pay day of 3/19. Because Earnin does not connect directly with the community member's employer, we need advance notice and direct deposits from their new pay schedule in order to make that change. We do have the ability to reschedule debits, however, we need at least 2-3 business days notice to ensure the debit has not already been sent to the bank. If the community member does not reach out to us to reschedule their debit in that time frame, the debits are sent to the bank and and we are unable to reverse them on our end. We hope this explanation can put some color on why we were unable to debit the account on 3/20.

Customer Response • May 14, 2020

I have stopped using your app. The reason why I used it was because I needed help. But, bank fees are not helpful regardless.
Thank you anyway for the explanation.
But, your company still deducted money after your coworker told me all I need to do was upload information. Which I did in two ways.
It would have been nice if she forewarned me.

Earnin took $105 from my bank for money I never received. I have been contacting customer service for the last week and keep getting a run around.
On 4/24 I cashed out $100 with a tip of $5 and did a repeat cash out of 100 with a tip of 5 the next day 4/25. The money on 4/25 never came and I emailed customer service with screen shots. They escalated it to the specialist and they told me that it was sent at standard speed and should arrive by 4/30 I then emailed back an told them 4/30 is the day they are going to deduct $210 From my bank and I only received $100. On 4/30 the $100 never came and they took 210 from me and now I'm no longer receiving a response from customer service. Attached below is my screen shot of my bank statement as you can see on 4/24 I received 100 from earnin which I left a $5 dollar tip on. On 4/30 you can see that they took $105 from me twice.

Desired Outcome

I need my $100 back and my $5 tip. I shouldn't have to pay for money I never got

Customer Response • May 04, 2020

Earnin has corrected its mistake

Earnin Response • May 07, 2020

We apologize for the inconvenience and that this community did not receive their Cash Out. The community member has since been credited for the missing Cash Out on 5/4. We thank the community member for bringing this to our attention and for their continued patience regarding this matter.

Customer Response • May 11, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
They corrected the issue

I revoked my ACH authorization per their rules and they are continuing to try to take money.
I tried to revoke my ACH authorization through their live chat option per their instructions and was told I can't revoke ach authorization. I then sent an email on April 27th and have received no response.

Desired Outcome

Ach payments discontinued

Earnin Response • May 06, 2020

We apologize for any inconvenience and frustration this community member has faced. Through the conversations with this community member, we were able to fix a bug in our messaging system.

We would like to let the community member know that we were able to successfully revoke authorization as requested.

Please reach out with further questions or concerns.

Debt account reflecting an incorrect amount,Contacted earing issue was not resolved and reps terminate chat when I request supervisor
I have been an Earning user for over a year and a half , I had not had any issues until recently when I noticed my cash ot balances for current pay period were incorrect. Normally a user can cash out and a debt is accumulated and taken from your bank account on the consumers next pay period. 03/30 earning collected a debt of 950 and refresh the cash out amount for the 04-04/15 pay period back to "zero" when I went to cash out the the daily max for the day I noticed that my debt has change from zero to $200 I contacted support and issue was corrected On 4/15 earning once again collected debt and refresh pay period back to zero I cashed out once again daily max of $100 on 04/16 my bank had not posted earning deb transaction and my account was placed on hold out of curosity I went to app to check my current pay period debt and the amount was once again $200
a toal of $100 dollars more than the actual amount I cashed out I resolved issues with bank and debt was paid to earning I contacted support to have current pay period debt correct and customer service agent *** proceeded to tell me account was correct and nothing could be done and disconnected chat . as I mentioned to *** debt was incorrect and that there was no way amount owed for current pay period was $200 since earning disabled cash out option due to bank not paying current debt and that I was only able to cash out once. ultimately ther was nothing earning did and my bank got drafted a total of $100 extra and as a result max out was changed from $850 to ONLY $100. on 04/30 a total debt of $200 was collected and once again the system refreshed the pay period to zero. this time I was not able to cash out but the debt for current pa period was already 100/100 which was impossible since earning didnt even give me the option to cash out, I contacted earning and concepcion assited this time agent once again ignored the fact that my pay period deb was incorrect, agent request proof of previous debt transaction which I submitted but agent said debt was for 04/15 and 04/16 which was the debt that had currently been taken out of my account the agent just gave me the run around and when I requested a supervisor agent denied me a sup and advsd if I wanted sup they will contact me and disconnected the chat. I attempted to close my account but earning app say I cannot close due to "activity" . My concern at this point is that earning is a scam and who know how long they have been overcharging debts to customers

Desired Outcome

I am seeking for company to return my money and to close my account

Earnin Response • May 18, 2020

We are unable to find chat transcripts or an Earnin account under the address provided in this Revdex.com interaction. We would like to delve into this concern further. Please have the community member reach out to us with the email address they use for Earnin so we can investigate and work towards a solution.

Earnin changed my payroll from biweekly to weekly and want their money early. My payroll hasn't changed and I did not ask them to do this.
Earnin changed my payroll date and my pay period from biweekly to weekly. They did not ask to do this and my employer hasn't changed my payroll. This will result in them taking money from my account a week early.

Desired Outcome

Restore my payroll status to getting paid on May 8th and every 2 weeks afterwards. Do not withdraw from my account on May 1st.

Earnin Response • May 07, 2020

After emailing with this community member, we have updated their payroll on our end to reflect their current pay schedule. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that this resolution is sufficient. We appreciate the community member's time and patience while we worked this out.

Customer Response • May 12, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
They fixed all issues quite promptly. Thank you.

Earnin is not complying w6my request for a refund after being furnished w/ docs that show they were already paid they still debited my account.
I last used earnin on 12/13/2019. They debited my account on 12/13/2019 for a repayment of $100 from 12/5/2019. I was allowed to cash out again on that same day for another $100 in which a few hours later they went back into my account and debited the money for that transaction. After to speaking with customer service via chat they advised that they had no record of the transaction and that I would have to wait until more earnings are reflecting before I could cash out again. From that day I never used this app again and I never will. However, on 4/25/2020 they went into my account and debited $100 claiming I owe from 12/13/2019 & claims that when they attempted to debit my account on 12/13/2019 it was returned for insufficient funds which is a lie. I bank with a credit union which provides overdraft protection so any merchant can get paid and I would then owe my bank...after speaking with my bank they confirmed that there were no returned payments and that they did in fact get their money on 12/13/2019 twice. After providing this same proof to an earnin rep it was advised to contact my bank to reverse the transaction in which my bank requires and auth code in which learning refused to provide after I complied with providing them with the documents they claim they needed to confirm that my claim is valid..this company is trash and a bunch of crooks and I want my money. These people are using covid-19 as bait to solicit business knowing that for some funds are limited. I literally went back n forth on a chat for over an hour and then once I got my bank on the line as suggested the agent had me hold for 15 minutes all to not furnish me with the authorization code but yet ask me to provide a screenshot of my bank balance which wasn't necessary seeing as though this company has access to this information.

Desired Outcome

I'm looking to have a full refund of $100 and for my account with them to be deleted afterwards.

Earnin Response • Apr 30, 2020

We do apologize for the inconvenience and confusion this has caused. After reviewing your account, we do see that all of your debits had been accounted for except the Cash Out on 12/31/2019, which was part of an issue we recently found.

As our advocates have stated, debiting money you've cashed out is necessary to keep Earnin running. Debits power the product for our community members - including those most affected by the current economic landscape. To make sure this doesn't happen in the future, we've made improvements to our debit system.

If you would still like to close your account, you are in good standing (all debits have been restored), so you are able to do so now. Please follow the prompts in the app.

Customer Response • May 01, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
They debited my account twice I one day and then stated that the payment was returned in which it wasn't I've sent them screen shots of my bank transaction and nowhere on it did it reflect an nsf fee or return payment which means that they were paid.

Earnin Response • May 13, 2020

Our community advocates are continuing to look into this situation with the community member. We will provide further information as we work together towards resolution.

Earnin debited my account on 04/24/2020 and my debit and paydate is not until 05/01/2020. I contacted them on said Day and the agent told me that my bank will reverse the transaction and they will waive the overdraft fee when it post today 04/27/2010. I contacted them today and spoke to *** Marie for over 2 hours who said all they can do is waive the fee but the cannot reverse the debit since my bank process it. After the fee was waived my account is still overdrawn by $132. I asked if they can allow me to cash out and clear the negative balance or reverse the debit since it was not due until 05/01/2020. She said she could not and later her supervisor Melin joined the chat. I asked him how we can resolve the issue and he does not know why my account was debited 1 week early and off schedule but there was nothing they can do. At this time my account is still overdrawn and I have no money to apply to the account and I will accumulate additional fees because of mistake Earnin made and refuse to help me resolve.

Earnin Response • Apr 30, 2020

We apologize for any confusion and frustration. Based on your past direct deposits, we do have your payroll set up as every other week on Friday with the pay dates of April 10 and April 24. We understand that you reached out stating that you would be starting your job between pay periods, which we understand. We were able to update your pay cycle, and our advocates have issued a courtesy credit. This should resolve the issue and rectify your pay cycle. Thanks for your patience in this matter.

Customer Response • Apr 30, 2020

This did not resolve my issue. I contacted you on 04/04 to update my direct deposit/withdrawal date to 04/17/2020 which the agent did successfully and you have received the money on 04/17 however he did not update the system to do my nxt withdrawal 2 weeks after and so you did another withdrawal the following week 04/24/2020. If my account is set for withdrawal every other week why did you do it 2 weeks in a row?? When I contact a company for assistance I expect my request to be processed fully, not partially and then be blamed my inconvenience. This has been a nightmare for me and customer service I received was very poor.

I researched to see what the protocol was just stop drafts coming from your account I was told they will be drafting be tomorrow causing me a hardship
I emailed earnin and told them not to draft any more payments for my account that I withdrew consent over a week ago nobody got back to me I've been trying to get ahold of them ever since and tonight I got hold of a representative to chat who told me they will be drafting my account tomorrow but if I send them screenshots then they'll research it and they can't do that there is a pandemic going on and they're going to cause me a hardship.

Desired Outcome

I do not want my account drafted if it is I want everything back in full ASAP

Earnin Response • Apr 24, 2020

Our community advocates are working on this concern now. The community member reached out to us with enough notice, but due to longer than normal chat times, we were unable to complete the transaction. We recognize the community member's request and are acting on it now. the community member should expect a credit once the debits post. Unfortunately, we're unable to adjust transactions in transit, but rest assured, we will issue a credit once the debits have posted.

Customer Response • Apr 27, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
I was refunded

Pulling money early and refusing to refund overdrafts they caused
I get paid on the 20th and they were supposed to pull the money out on the 20th and pulled her out last night at midnight so that is the 17th and cause multiple overdraft fees and are refusing to return my money and are also refusing to respond to the overdraft fees. He keeps eating that a supervisor will call me and literally no one ever has, ever. They just say that taking you off the phone.

Desired Outcome

I would like my overdraft fees refunded by earnin at the very least. It's not ***'s job and I would like to save my overdraft exceptions for things that are actually my fault.

Earnin Response • Apr 22, 2020

After looking into your communication with our community advocates, we do see that they were correct in their explanations.

We have your pay schedule set correctly to the 5 and 20 of every month. On our end, it shows we received the transaction on the correct date, April 20, 2020.

The bank will ultimately decide when to post our pending debits. We understand that this is frustrating, but we suggest your reach out to your bank for further resolution.

Agent John *** was supposed to fix my issue but instead she had me refresh the app .she told me that she was not going to end the chat so that when I get back in the app we can fix the problem with it. But when I left the app she sent a message saying that because of the inactivity she's going to close my chat and then when I tried to answer it she closed it. How are you customer service but you're hanging up on customers. That's extremely unprofessional and unacceptable. The app is *** anyway. It only works once in a blue moon for me and when it doesn't work and I go to customer service I get nothing and now I get disrespected by this company.

Earnin Response • Apr 22, 2020

We apologize for the dropped chat. We are working hard to help our community members, especially during these uncertain times. After a quick look into your account, it looks like you're good to go! Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Customer Response • Apr 22, 2020

No it's not I have a screenshot from right now at 5:03 p.m. on April 22nd 2020 where it says I'm not allowed to cash out because I have no earnings but I never used any of the earnings. You guys still are not trying to help me You're just trying to cover on Revdex.com so no one sees that you guys are unprofessional.

I asked them in advance to stop drafting my account we are in a pandemic and I can't have this money taken. I followed protocol listed online and they said they are going to draft it anyway.

Earnin Response • Apr 22, 2020

We're currently experiencing longer than normal wait times for chat, and we understand how frustrating this can be during the COVID-19 pandemic. Your concern has successfully been escalated, and we're looking into this for you. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

If this company ttys to lie I have screenshots to prove it . Your agents are no help and your app only works good when it's taking money. That's it

Earnin Response • Apr 22, 2020

Good news! Looks like you're able to Cash Out. Feel free to reach out to our 24/7 live chat or via Facebook or Twitter DM if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you!

You violated our payment arrangement of which I have written proof . Your customer service then refused to refund me
I had a payment arrangement set up for 05/01 set up my your representative ***. My payment was taken out today 04/17, two weeks early. Your customer service *** refused to refund the payment you took early.

Desired Outcome

I want a full refund of the payment you took and for you to debit it on the agreed on date of 05/01.

Earnin Response • Apr 22, 2020

We apologize for any frustration this caused. Your case was escalated and reviewed by our team, and a credit has been sent to your account. Please reach out if you have any other questions or concerns.

Customer Response • Apr 23, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
Thank you for resolving this.

I have received misinformation and such slow service that solutions were not able to be reached.
In March I experience a closure at my work and spoke to report about the issue I was going to have with repayment. At the time I was told I could reschedule the payment even though I was unsure when I would return to work and change the date if things changed. When the closure was extended due to Covid-19 I contacted them again and waited several hours to speak to someone. They told me that rescheduling was actually not possible even though that was not what I was told before. It was only after a bit of back and forth that they extended the payment just another week regardless of me saying I did not think that date would work. I also asked to be contacted by a supervisor due to the issue and that response never came which I also complained about.

I later contacted support again to try and work out a more manageable plan. They told me the same as before and that only if their debit declined would they be willing to reschedule. At that time I tried to file a formal complaint about my experience and received a blank message with the ticket showing as solved. It wasn't until contacting again after once more not hearing from a supervisor until after it was too late to attempt a resolution was I sent a passive *** email instructing me to tell my bank to just reverse and overdraft fees I might incur because of Covid-19.

Desired Outcome

I would like to be compensated for any fees I may incur as well as conformation the complaint filed was actually reviewed.

Earnin Response • Apr 20, 2020

We understand your frustration at this time and are working to assist you. We are experiencing longer than normal wait times due to COVID-19 but are working to continue to assist our community.

In this case, Earnin community members are granted one courtesy reschedule if they are able to reach out at least two business days before the scheduled debit. If the reschedule has been used, our debits will try to post to your account, but if you don't have enough funds, they will bounce back to us and we can reschedule them for your next pay period. Otherwise, the debits will try to post once the account holds sufficient funds.

If you have further questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks.
