MoneyLion typically posts direct deposits on the scheduled payday. This means that if your employer is set to deposit your paycheck on a specific day, you should expect it to appear in your MoneyLion account around that time.
However, in rare cases, a transmission error or transfer irregularity might delay the availability of your funds. If this happens, you'll usually receive them within five (5) business days after MoneyLion receives the deposit.
If you have concerns about the timing of your direct deposit, you can contact MoneyLion's customer support online or by phone at (516) 916-5466 for more information.

Nope, that's the issue I'm dealing with now. Just called then and they said if it's not in there by today2-17-21 to give them a call tomorrow. Was my first time trying the direct deposit with them and will be my last time.
I hear ya. I’m having bad experience experiences with money lion right now I had always got paid on the 28th. I switched the money line and I’m still waiting.

Based off my experiences, you MUST be current on all your membership dues and fees if you want your direct deposit early. I split my paycheck and noticed that MoneyLion will hold your pay until the posted pay date. They don't advertise this and I don't blame them. I tested this theory by paying the 9.99 for their membership and probably 2hrs later my direct deposit showed up magically. Deposit your money elsewhere, this fintech is full of it
Omg i felt like that was going on. I did 20% to my chase and the rest to them and I received my funds 5 days before them im changing everything back.

With a RoarMoney demand deposit account, you can receive your paycheck early. This means if MoneyLion receives advance notice of your direct deposit, we will deposit those funds into your account up to two days early.
I have had a money lion account for years and i love it, this will be my first direct deposit into my roar account and if i get it on the 1st great i already knew it would be like this. I also know if i run short through out the month they have me. Covered. Win, win... ..
I have the same issue! I get my paycheck split, chime deposits Wednesday evening and money lion not until late Thursday morning. AND my husband got money lion and has never had access to instacash. They said he failed verification but when he asked to do it again they said the system would redirect him to do it possibly in the future. After numerous direct deposits and an instacash limit of $160 just sitting there but saying he’s not eligible based on info he has given when he tries to take it out. He’s obviously him if he’s getting a consistent direct deposit in his name. It’s all a scam. They won’t let him do credit builder or anything. I’m tired of them telling him they can’t do anything about the system. Man created the system and when the system goes down, customer service has to fix the system, so it is not impossible to change it. They act like we’re all stupid.

I guess the financial institution of your income g deposit has a great deal to determine when you'll receive it. I only switched my deposit location information on my .gov portal, didn't tell you guys anything, and got my money pretty much 4 days early. Buts that's from a trusted federal institution, Defense Finance and Administrative Services.

This is a lie. MoneyLion has confirmed they have my money and all they keep telling me is it will go into my account by midnight. I am definitely switching my deposits to a different bank. I have bills to pay and children to take care of. I can’t be waiting until MIDNIGHT for MY money to be released to me.
My check was released yesterday and I have yet to receive it today. This is rent and bill money l. If it were your money, you wouldn’t use this company now would you? I will only use for instacash only. I am switching it back to Chime next week.
This simply isn’t true. The VA sent my disability yesterday and you are holding it until Saturday at the earliest. Every one of your reps refuses to connect me to a manager and this has never happened in 15 years of getting disability from them.
