Description: DAVE Dave November 09, 2025

Dave Inc. (NASDAQ:DAVE) operates a U.S.-focused fintech platform that bundles budgeting tools, short-term cash advances, a gig-economy job board, paid surveys, and a digital checking account under a single consumer-facing app.

Key product pillars:

  • Budget – a personal finance manager that tracks income, expenses, and helps users set spending limits.
  • ExtraCash – an ACH-based cash-advance service that deposits funds instantly and charges no explicit fee, instead earning revenue from optional “tip” contributions.
  • Side Hustle – a marketplace connecting members with temporary or supplemental employment opportunities.
  • Surveys – a micro-task feature that pays users for completing market research questionnaires.
  • Dave Banking – a FDIC-insured digital checking account offering debit cards, direct deposit, and fee-free overdraft protection.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Los Angeles, Dave is classified under GICS Sub-Industry “Application Software,” reflecting its software-driven service model rather than a traditional banking charter.

Recent quantitative signals (as of Q3 2024): the company reported $124 million in revenue for the trailing twelve months, a year-over-year growth rate of ~27%, and a net loss of $45 million, reflecting ongoing investment in user acquisition. Active members grew to ~9.8 million, with an average revenue per user (ARPU) of roughly $12.7 per month. The churn rate for the budgeting and cash-advance segments hovered around 4.5% quarterly, a metric that investors watch closely for sustainability.

Macro-level drivers: (1) Rising “pay-check-to-paycheck” prevalence among U.S. households fuels demand for low-cost liquidity solutions; (2) Continued fintech adoption-especially among Gen Z and Millennials-supports platform expansion; (3) A tightening monetary environment could pressure discretionary spending, potentially dampening Side Hustle usage while increasing reliance on short-term cash advances.

Given the blend of consumer-finance services and a growing user base, a deeper quantitative assessment may be worthwhile; ValueRay’s analyst notes on DAVE provide additional data points and scenario modeling to aid your evaluation.
