Unexpected Expenses

MONEY HELP

When you’re facing expenses you didn’t see coming — car repairs, broken appliances, medical bills — your Brightside Financial Assistant can help, by phone or chat.

At no cost to you through Choose Well.

Solutions when money is urgent

Safe options and real relief

Your Financial Assistant finds vetted solutions — including a no-fee $100 Cash Advance and other free and low-cost options you won’t find on your own.

Affordable loans

You may be eligible to apply for Brightside’s partner loans, which offer lower rates than credit cards, online, or payday loans — no matter your credit.

Someone on your side

Your Financial Assistant makes it easy to understand the ins and outs of each option and helps you take the next steps you decide feel right.

One conversation makes a difference

When Edgar needed emergency dental surgery, his Brightside Financial Assistant connected him with a lending partner who approved him for an affordable $3,000 paycheck-linked loan — enough to cover the $2,500 procedure and catch up on a car payment he’d fallen behind on.

Now he’s working with his Financial Assistant to save $50 from each paycheck in his free Brightside Savings Account, so he has a safety net for whatever comes up next.

You deserve support
when the unexpected happens.

It’s easy — just share a couple of sentences about what’s going on with your
Brightside Financial Assistant by phone or chat (your choice). They’re like that
friend on your side who knows what to do and how to make things easier.

Financial Assistants are available M–F, 5 a.m.–6 p.m. PT.
