About us
Fighting for the underdog – We started Dave for one reason: banks weren’t built for people like us, and we knew we deserved better. Like David slaying Goliath, we set out to take on banks and their predatory ways. Our first fight? Making overdraft fees a thing of the past by spotting members the money they needed, without charging them $38. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. Since then, we’ve continued to bring our members the products traditional banks won't: $500 advances, fee-free goal tracking, and simple ways to find Side Hustles when you’re behind on your budget. We’ve grown a lot since we started, but one thing has never changed: We’re building products that level the financial playing field.

Our founder and CEO Jason Wilk recently joined CNBC Fast Money to discuss Dave’s Q4/FY 2025 earnings and what we're seeing among US consumers. For everyday Americans, the economic picture is complicated and consumers’ budgets are stretched. As Jason explained, that's why Dave exists. Before Dave, accessing $50 for gas from legacy banks could mean a $34 overdraft fee. With Dave ExtraCash, that cost is lowered to as low as $5. Our AI-powered underwriting engine enables Dave to serve millions of Americans, while bringing down our loss rates to nearly 1%. Watch the full video on our Investors page: https://lnkd.in/dtrpGyHh
