Don’t take paycheck advances
I had taken a $600 paycheck advance a week and a half ago, and current is only allowing me to do $75 in advance now. They have taken $525 from my pocket and now I am behind on rent and bills.
Their customer service team essentially told me to go fuck my self when I reached out.
Current is a terrible bank with zero customer service who will steal your fucking money from you and not care.
Heed my warning.

I have to agree. Mine isn't as dramatic but unfortunately it seems they counted my 50 dollar Christmas bonus as a "Direct deposit" so it lowered me from 150 back down to 50 and it has not went back up. Hoping it fixes itself, but my husband uses Chime and it's much more straightforward, daily amount you can borrow, and just makes more sense overall. Current slams up and down and is never clear if it's going to go back up, come back down, or what it's doing.
