Fact checked

According to Albert’s Genius customer service, the company “does not support integration with other cash advance apps.” Cash advance apps often require users to link with a bank account so the cash advance app can automatically withdraw the funds you borrowed once your paycheck hits.

Although Albert allows integration with accounts like Chime or MoneyLion to track your spending, it doesn’t allow integration with cash advance features because it offers Albert Instant – an instant cash feature that allows you to access up to $1,000 in overdraft coverage.

If you already have a Genius subscription with Albert, you may not need another cash advance app to access extra funds thanks to Albert Instant.

You can still get a cash advance app

You can still access cash advance apps even if you have a Genius subscription or bank with Albert. You just won’t be able to link it to your Albert account. If you already have another bank account, or you’re opening a new bank account just be sure that the cash advance app you choose can link to that bank account. Most cash advance apps integrate with all the major banks.

When choosing the app, you’ll want to consider factors like the cost of the service, your desired advance amount, or your unique situation. We’ll take a deep dive into your options and the related costs, advance amounts and turnaround time in the next section.

Alternatives to cash advance apps for Albert customers

If you want to stay with your Albert account or don’t want to download yet another app, here are some alternative forms of quick funding.

  • Credit card cash advances. Interest rates on credit card cash advances are higher than for regular purchases, but it’s a hassle-free way to get a fast influx of cash in an emergency.
  • Personal loans. If you need a larger loan amount than cash advance apps offer, an online personal loan might be a good option. However, you’ll need a good credit score to qualify for the best rates.
  • Payday alternative loans (PALs). Many federal credit unions offer small PALs to members at competitive interest rates and reasonable loan terms. You’ll typically need to be a member for at least 30 days to qualify.
  • Secured loans. If you have something of value as collateral a secured loan may have interest rates compared to unsecured loans.
  • Advance from employer. Check if your employer offers cash advances as a benefit to its employees. Or, some bosses may advance small loans and then deduct that amount of your next paycheck.
