Gerald is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services and money movement connected with the Gerald app are provided through regulated U.S. banking partners. Where state law requires licensing or registration for cash advance, earned-wage-access, or related products, those authorizations are held by Gerald and/or its partners as applicable.
Where to verify: current legal agreements, state availability, and license information for the Gerald product are published in the Gerald app and on Gerald’s official website. This Site is informational and holds no lending or banking licenses because it performs no lending or banking activity.
Cash advance amounts, Buy Now, Pay Later features, and instant transfer availability vary by state, bank, and individual eligibility. Nothing on this Site is an offer or commitment to lend or to provide any financial product.
