How to avoid the monthly fee

B9 has waived the membership fee for members whose total direct deposits are large — reported around $5,000 per month, and deposits from multiple employers can count. If your paycheck already runs at that level, Premium can effectively cost nothing.

Instant-transfer fees

Getting your advance instantly to an external bank or card costs an optional fee. You can avoid it two ways: spend directly from your B9 debit card, or use a free standard ACH transfer that lands in about 1–3 business days.

Fees people miss

  • Sending your own money out: some users report charges when moving funds to external wallets like Cash App or to Apple Pay. Read the in-app fee schedule.
  • Membership in idle months: the subscription bills whether or not you take an advance, so occasional users pay for access they don't use.

Is the fee worth it?

Spread across regular use — advances, the debit cashback, and everyday banking — the membership can be reasonable. For a one-off advance, a no-subscription app is usually cheaper. See our cost comparison in B9 vs Dave and the full alternatives roundup.
