Leave a Review B9
Horrible
I download this app did everything it asked for, which is kinda of a lot they want you to link your direct deposits and bank accounts so they can verify what you make then you wait until they receive a direct deposit before they lend you a small amount that grows if you give them more district deposit and pay back the advance. Which I did early and twice. They increased my advance amount so very happy with that I increased my DD and paid early a third time thinking I could at least get what I was already receiving but No instead they took out my monthly fee and told me you must get paid every 14 days. Well that dosent work for me since I get paid once a month hence needing a service like this! Grrr so not only did they leave me even more behind, but when I canceled the service because obviously isn’t going to work for me on the same day they took next months service fee will not issue my 9.99 service fee back. That’s fine fine keep it but I do not recommend this app!!!!!!!!!!Show lessjerjer

Hello, we understand how something like this can be frustrating. Currently B9's algorithm recalculates your advance limit every 14 days. All repayment of our B9 Advance is explained before accepting Terms & Conditions and on our website https://tinyurl.com/2p8r8mkj but we apologize for any confusion. Usually, B9 Advances started with small amount and grew until $500 after few payment cycles, also keep in mind that for B9 Advance amount switched DD amount is the most important part. B9's algorithm recalculates your advance limit every 14 days. We require a min of $300 p/direct deposit or min $600/m to qualify for an advance, and it needs to be recurring. We encourage our members to deposit their entire recurring paycheck into B9 account to unlock up to $500 advance. Many of our customers get up to $30 even before their deposit is credited into their B9 account. Please write to us once again to support@bnine.com so that we can look into this again in hopes of improving your experience.Do Not Use This App!!!
This has to be the worst app designed by incompetent people. Too many issues to list them all but to highlight one big one. They list out the steps to get an advance. They conclude it with on payday, they will debit the advance from your direct deposit and you can then request another advance. If this was the case, that would be fine. Seems consistent with others who promote similar apps. HOWEVER, what they fail to mention, and yes, it’s written, hidden in some long paragraph on their terms and conditions, is that any deposit that hits the account…ANY DEPOSIT, will trigger the advance to be repaid. For example, if a merchant is crediting back an item to your card for a return, it will trigger the advance to be repaid. I have a $180 advance. At the time, I had a $50 balance in the account. I had a return credit for a return of an item after Christmas of $100 hit and it triggered a payback of my $180 advance which left me a negative balance and therefore ineligible to receive another advance due to the negative balance. I thought the whole point of direct deposit was to ensure payback of advance on payday as they state. Customer Service is the worst too. Might as well be talking to a wall. Stay away from this app. Learn from my mistake.Show lessgreentwjr

This app is everything but what it says it is. No matter how much you deposit into your account they will determine your advance payment amount (it will not exceed $150). Support responds rather quickly but are not very helpful. If you do use the advance payment they will automatically take what you owe whenever funds become available n your account instead of using the date that you specified in which will cause other scheduled paymentstobelateor not get paid if you don’t have enough extra in your account to cover it. All around setup to benefit their company at your expense because they charge you for this imaginary service. This was a great idea for mobile financing if it actually worked as advertised but it is not even close. Save yourself some Time, money, and frustration and go with MoneyLion, Dave’s, or GO2Bank. All of these actually work like they should and are overall going to be a better experience. Why is it so difficult to just do what you say your going to instead of using the old bait and switch. Don’t fall into their trap of lies like I did and take my advice….STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS SHADY APP!!!Show lessPatron865

$100 deposited in one week received $30 advance. Next week same thing, but paid back the $30 and received $60 advance which put me at $130. Following week deposited $100 and paid back the $60 advance but only received $40 and a $40 advance.
Was told that it’s based off my usage, deposit and the way I spend my money. Last time I checked I can spend it however I want too.
Last time using this app, it’s better to use Earnin where they are consistent with what you deposit and what they give to you every week.Show lessUpsetB9Customer
Super convenient
B9 is really patient when you have unexpected emergencies with paying back and they will work with you on your repayment date for the advance. They have great customer service and I really like my account with them. I would recommend possibly adding a savings account to the app so we can have a full fledged bank account.Show lessofficialbmatteo768
Credit check required to use this app
This app ask for your SSN so that it can perform a soft pull of your credit and if you don’t have great credit score, they deny you an opportunity to try to use the app. I also see that this app targets people that are either not US citizens or people that are migrant workers without all of their necessary documentation or proof of residency. If you have a poor credit score do not bother downloading or trying this app. Choose a credit union. Credit unions will allow you to borrow sometimes up to two days early.Show lessiwassounhappywiththisBSApp
