Earnin, the leader in innovative solutions to some of the world’s tougher financial problems, announced today the launch of its first ever Tip Yourself sweepstakes. The $10,000 sweepstakes aims to support community members on their savings journey.

Tip Yourself can help users set financial goals and put money aside, enabling them to achieve targets in a new way. Earnin users can set up a new Tip Jar for different goals, such as a vacation or a car. When users accomplish tasks they are proud of, they can fill their Tip Jars to celebrate and congratulate themselves, while also moving a step closer to their goals. Additionally, users can share why and how they’re setting aside money, which can help encourage the rest of the Earnin community to reach their financial objectives as well.

“People clearly recognize the importance of saving, especially during a global pandemic where people are facing difficult times, but it can be challenging to get started,” said Ram Palaniappan, Founder and CEO of Earnin. “We hope our sweepstakes encourages people across the country to develop an active and consistent savings habit, which will ultimately help them unlock greater financial freedom and flexibility.”

To be eligible for the sweepstakes, you must:

  • Have an account on Earnin’s Tip Yourself
  • Within Tip Yourself, create a Tip Jar called “4Me”
  • Add at least $1 to your “4Me” Tip Jar

The sweepstakes will last four weeks, starting on October 26 and ending on November 23. Earnin will select 100 participants to each receive $100 in their designated “4Me” Tip Jar within the app. By selecting more winners, Earnin aims to help more people achieve overall financial wellness.
