If you’re already using Brigit and you find it very helpful, why not earn some money by sharing it with friends who could benefit too?
Brigit’s referral program rewards you for introducing others to the app, and the process is completely straightforward, with no complicated requirements or impossible hoops to jump through.
Whether your friends need help with budgeting or want access to cash advances?
Are you looking to build credit? Then referring others can put extra money in your pocket while helping them improve their financial situation.
Understanding exactly how the referral program works, what triggers a reward, how to find your referral link, and how to track your earnings ensures you can maximize this opportunity without confusion.
How Does Brigit’s Referral Program Work?
Brigit’s referral program is open to everyone, you can invite friends regardless of which Brigit plan you have.
Whether you’re on the free Basic plan, Plus, or Premium, you can participate and earn referral bonuses.
Here’s the simple three-step process:
Step 1: You refer a friend using your personalized referral link
Every Brigit user gets a unique referral link that tracks your referrals.
You share this link with friends via text, email, social media, or any other method.
Step 2: Your friend takes a qualifying action
Your referred friend needs to complete one of these actions:
Repay an Instant Cash advance, OR Pay their first Credit Builder installment, OR Pay their first membership fee
They must complete one of these actions for your referral to count.
Step 3: You receive a referral credit
Once all three steps are completed successfully, Brigit deposits your reward bonus directly into your connected bank account.
The deposit typically arrives within 5 business days after your friend completes their qualifying action.
Why You Refer Friends to Brigit?
Beyond just earning money, referring friends benefits everyone:
- You earn extra money
Each successful referral puts cash directly in your bank account.
If you refer 5 friends, that’s a significant extra income.
- You help your friends
If Brigit has helped you manage money better, you’re doing your friends a favor by introducing them to it.
- You strengthen relationships
Helping friends with their finances shows you care about their wellbeing.
- It’s genuinely useful
Unlike referring people to products you don’t actually use, Brigit’s referral program lets you share something that’s actually helped you.
How Much Do You Earn Per Referral?
The standard referral bonus varies, and Brigit updates the amount periodically. The specific bonus amount is displayed in your Brigit app under the referral section.
Occasionally, Brigit runs special promotions that increase the referral bonus beyond the standard amount.
You should always watch your inbox for announcements about bonus promotions. These limited-time offers can significantly increase your earnings per referral.
How to Find Your Personalized Referral Link?
Your referral link is unique to you and tracks all the friends you invite.
There are two ways to find it:
Method A: Through Settings
Log in to the Brigit app. Tap the settings icon (usually in the top corner). Select “Invite Friends.” Choose from “Select Contacts” OR other sharing options.
Select a contact OR choose the social media platform you want to use. OR tap “Copy” to copy your referral link and share it anywhere you want.
Method B: From the Home Screen
Log in to the Brigit app. Scroll down to the bottom of the home screen. Look for the “Invite a Friend” app card. Select “Other Options.” Select “Copy.”
The link at the end of the copied message is your personalized referral link.
You can use this link as many times as you want—there’s no limit to how many friends you can refer.
How to Invite Friends to Brigit?
Once you have your referral link, you can share it in multiple ways:
Text message
Copy your referral link and paste it into a text to friends.
Add a personal message explaining why you like Brigit and how it’s helped you.
Send your referral link via email to friends and family.
Again, personalize it with your experience.
Social media
Post your referral link on:
Facebook. Twitter/X. Instagram (in your bio or stories). TikTok. LinkedIn.
Share why you use Brigit and how it’s helped your finances.
In-person conversations
When friends mention money troubles, tell them about Brigit and text them your referral link right there.
WhatsApp, Messenger, or other messaging apps
Share your link through any messaging platform you use.
The more places you share your link, the more potential referrals you’ll get.
How Do You Track Your Referrals?
Tracking helps you see which friends have signed up. Who has completed their qualifying action. How much you have earned in total, and when to expect your next deposit.
You don’t need to guess whether your referrals are working or not because Brigit provides a tracking system.
To check your referrals:
Open the Brigit app.
Go to your “Invite Friends” page. View how many friends you’ve referred.
You can then see how many rewards you’ve earned.
Check the status of pending referrals.
When Do You Receive Your Referral Money?
After your friend completes their qualifying action (repays an advance, pays their first Credit Builder installment, or pays their first membership fee), you’ll receive your bonus.
The timeline:
Your friend completes their qualifying action. Brigit verifies the completion (usually automatic). Within 5 business days, Brigit deposits your referral bonus directly into your connected bank account.
You don’t need to request the payment or take any action; it’s deposited automatically once the requirements are met.
What Qualifies as a Successful Referral?
For your referral to count and for you to earn a bonus, three things must happen:
- Your friend must use your referral link
They need to click your unique link and sign up through it.
If they just download Brigit without using your link, it won’t count as your referral.
- Your friend must create a Brigit account
They need to complete the signup process, not just download the app.
- Your friend must complete a qualifying action
They must do one of these:
Repay their first Instant Cash advance. Pay their first Credit Builder installment. Pay their first membership fee (for Plus or Premium).
Until one of these happens, the referral is pending but not complete.
Tips for Maximizing Referral Earnings
- Be genuine about why you use Brigit
People respond better to authentic recommendations.
Share your real experience about how Brigit helped you avoid overdraft fees, provided emergency cash, or helped you budget better.
- Target friends who could actually benefit
Don’t just spam everyone. Think about which friends:
Struggle with money between paychecks. Often complain about overdraft fees. Need help building credit. Want better budgeting tools.
These people are more likely to sign up and actually use Brigit, completing the qualifying action.
- Explain what Brigit does
Don’t just send a link with no context.
Briefly explain: “This app gives cash advances up to $250 with no interest and helps with budgeting. I’ve been using it for months and it’s helped me avoid overdraft fees.”
- Post during relevant times
Share on social media at times when people are thinking about money:
Right before payday when people are broke. Early in the month when bills are due. After holidays when people overspent.
- Respond to money complaints
When friends post about being broke or overdrafting, comment with your referral link and how Brigit helped you with similar issues.
- Share during promotional periods
When Brigit increases referral bonuses during promotions, that’s the perfect time to push your link harder.
The higher bonus makes it more worthwhile to put in extra effort.
- Use multiple platforms
Don’t limit yourself to one method.
Share via text, email, social media, and in-person conversations to reach more people.
- Create content if you’re comfortable
If you’re active on social media, create a post or story explaining how Brigit works and why you recommend it.
Real reviews and testimonials are powerful.
Some Common Referral Program Questions
#1. Is there a limit to how many people I can refer?
No. You can refer as many friends as you want and earn bonuses for each successful referral.
#2. Do I need a paid Brigit plan to refer friends?
No. Even free Basic members can participate in the referral program and earn bonuses.
#3. What if my friend signs up but doesn’t complete a qualifying action?
You won’t receive a bonus until they do one of the qualifying actions (repay an advance, pay for Credit Builder, or pay a membership fee).
The referral will show as pending until completion.
#4. Can I refer family members?
Yes. As long as they use your referral link and complete a qualifying action, family members count.

You can’t get credit for referring someone who already has an account.
Your referral link only works for new users.
#6. How long does my friend have to complete the qualifying action?
There’s typically no strict time limit, but the sooner they use Brigit’s features, the sooner you get your bonus.
#7. What happens if my friend cancels their subscription?
If they completed a qualifying action before canceling, you still receive your referral bonus.
The bonus is based on their initial qualifying action, not their long-term usage.
