​AG Brown announced that his Consumer Protection Division entered into a settlement with Bridge It, Inc., a financial technology company that offers earned wage access loans. The Division alleged that Bridge It engaged in unlicensed lending and misled consumers in its offer of Instant Cash. 

"Marylanders living paycheck to paycheck cannot afford surprise charges on a cash advance. This settlement requires Brigit to clearly disclose its fees and terms, so consumers know what they are agreeing to before they borrow." – AG Brown
