What Is Dave App?

Dave is an app that provides cash advances to its members to help them avoid bank overdraft fees. Dave doesn't charge interest — it asks for tips instead. But members do have to pay a small monthly membership fee to use the app and the maximum cash advance amount is low.

How does Dave app work?

The Dave app provides users an advance on their paycheck to cover small expenses like gas or groceries. It also offers a “spending account” that charges no overdraft or low-balance fees. Instead of interest, Dave charges a monthly subscription fee that customers can opt out of.

Does the Dave app really give you $75?

The app lends you up to $75 as an interest-free loan if you need cash. The loans are only offered to qualifying users: Dave requires you to have a job with a steady paycheck in order to prequalify for the loans. To confirm, the app scans your checking account history for regular recurring direct deposits.
