Summary

Brigit is an app that aims to improve users' financial health by offering budgeting tools, automated alerts, interest-free cash advances, and a centralized view of their money. Many Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and often face costly overdraft fees or payday loans when they need small amounts of cash before the next paycheck. Brigit helps users avoid these fees and stay out of debt by tracking their bank account transactions and providing necessary funds if needed, thus freeing up mental bandwidth for more important matters.
