Company Overview

Dave, Inc. is a Los Angeles–based financial technology company founded in 2016 by Jason Wilk and John Wolanin.

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.
