Dave (DAVE) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Dave, Inc. is a Los Angeles–based financial technology company founded in 2016 by Jason Wilk and John Wolanin. The company offers a subscription-based mobile app designed to help consumers avoid overdraft fees, manage their budgets and track expenses. Through its platform, members receive low-balance alerts, expense categorization and cash-advance capabilities tied to upcoming deposits.

At the core of Dave’s offering is fee-free overdraft protection: eligible users can request small, interest-free advances up to a preset limit, typically repaid on their next paycheck or deposit. Dave Banking, provided in partnership with Evolve Bank & Trust, delivers FDIC-insured checking accounts and a branded debit card. The app also includes Dave Earn, a savings component that offers competitive interest rates, as well as tools and resources to help users find side gigs and additional income opportunities.

In January 2022, Dave completed a merger with a special purpose acquisition company and began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker DAVE. The firm serves customers across the United States and continues to expand its user base through strategic partnerships and product enhancements. Headquartered in Los Angeles, Dave is led by CEO Jason Wilk, who has guided the company’s evolution from a cash-advance startup into a broader digital banking provider.
