It’s kinda crazy we don’t know when a transaction will actually post. The surprise of a low balance or overdraft fee benefits no one but the banks themselves. That’s where Balance Shield1 can help — to keep you happy and your money healthy, so you’re never left in the dark.
Put low balances on high alert
Stay in the loop with custom notifications if your balance drops to $0-500 — whatever threshold you set.1
Add protection against overdrafts
If your account reaches overdraft range, you’ll automatically2 get $100 transferred from your on-demand pay (with a max of $750 per pay period).1
EarnIn customers save nearly $540 per year by avoiding overdraft fees3
How it works
Customize Balance Shield to work the way you want.
Get $100 auto-transferred2 to help protect your balance, too (if you want)
“I love that I can turn it on and off and set my own balance threshold. I would describe it to a friend like overdraft protection from your bank, but WAY better because you control it.”4

FAQs
Do I have to use both Balance Shield notifications and auto-transfers?
Nope – you can opt in or out of either of these at any time. Just head to the Balance Shield settings in the app to change your preferences.
How much does it cost?
Expedited auto-transfers cost $3.992, and the funds will land in your account in minutes.1 You can also take advantage of our no-cost standard transfer speed option to get funds in your account within 1-2 business days.
How do I enroll in Balance Shield?
It's as easy as downloading the EarnIn app and opting into Balance Shield from the Settings.
How is Balance Shield different?
Balance Shield doesn’t pull from a savings account. Instead, you can use the money you’ve already earned to help protect your bank balance from overdrafts.1
