About Dave Inc.
About Dave Inc.
Dave's mobile-first financial platform had over 19 million Member sign-ups since inception, with over 14 million having used at least one product and over $22 billion in cumulative ExtraCash disbursed through December 2025. The company employed approximately 280 full-time employees and maintained a virtual-first model across more than 30 states. ExtraCash delivers up to $500 per advance with no credit check, powered by the CashAI underwriting engine trained on over 180 million originations.
Dave generates revenue through three streams: a mandatory 5% ExtraCash service fee (minimum $5, introduced February 2025 after eliminating optional tips), a $3 monthly membership fee for new Members implemented in mid-2025, and merchant interchange plus Mastercard network incentives from the Dave Debit Card. ExtraCash advances settle against the Member's forecasted next paycheck—averaging roughly 11 days—and are originated by bank partners Evolve Bank & Trust (currently processing the substantial majority of accounts) and Coastal Community Bank (the exclusive partner for new Members since Q4 2025, with full transition targeted by end of 2026). All transactions are processed by Galileo Financial Technologies under a multi-year agreement. Dave competes with Chime, Earnin, MoneyLion, and Brigit for the earned wage access and neobank markets.
Show full overview
Dave's two-bank arrangement carries material regulatory risk. Evolve Bank & Trust, through which the substantial majority of ExtraCash originations currently flow, was placed under a Federal Reserve Board consent order in June 2024, limiting certain operations. Dave is subject to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau oversight under Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act, and state attorneys general retain parallel civil enforcement authority. The filing notes that Dave believes no current business line requires state licensing, yet regulators may in the future impose licensing requirements that could materially alter the company's revenue model.
