DAVEW Dave Inc

Dave Inc. (“Dave” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DAVE), one of the nation’s leading neobanks, today issued a statement regarding a proposal from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”):

“We are closely monitoring the recently proposed interpretive ruling from the CFPB around paycheck advance and earned wage access (“EWA”), a model which Dave was originally founded on, but transitioned away from beginning in 2022 due to a lack of certainty around the regulations,” said Jason Wilk, Founder and CEO of Dave. “Dave’s ExtraCash product is structured as a bank-originated overdraft with optional fees, which combats the excessive fees found at incumbent banks. As a result, we believe ExtraCash and our optional fees sit within the overdraft regulatory framework that is distinguished from EWA and paycheck advance products.”
