Cleo AI: Cash advance & Credit 1.340.0

Cleo presents itself as a personal financial coach designed to assist users in managing their budgets—be it daily, weekly, or monthly. With over five million users, Cleo facilitates budgeting, saving, credit building, and cash advances during low-balance periods.

This platform simplifies financial discussions into an engaging chat format, providing users with an opportunity to inquire about their finances without the tedium typically associated with financial management. For instance, users can easily track their spending on takeout from the previous month by simply asking Cleo.

Cash Advance Features

• Access up to $250 without traditional financial burdens.
• No repayment time frame or related interest charges.
• No credit checks or late fees associated.
• No direct deposit is necessary for access.

It is important to note that Cleo’s cash advance is categorized as Earned Wage Access rather than a personal loan, with no mandatory fees or high Annual Percentage Rates (APRs). For example, if a user opts for a $40 advance, they repay exactly that amount, as no additional fees apply.
