'Our customer acquisition engines are working very well': Dave's Jason Wilk




Tearsheet Podcast: Exploring Financial Services Together show

Summary: Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Tearsheet editor in chief, Zack Miller. We’ve been covering fintech Dave from its early days as a tool to help everyday folks avoid overdraft fees. From there, it evolved into a lender and more recently, it’s expanded into more general banking. It also went public last year. Founder and CEO Jason Wilk joins me on the podcast to catch up with what’s been going on at Dave after the firm reported its most recent quarter. We talked a lot about ExtraCash, the firm’s short term overdraft loan and the role it plays in Dave’s customer experience and business model. Recent financials show that the firm has made strides to bring down its expenses while it’s also improved its monetization of its user base of 8 million people. My guest today on the podcast is Jason Wilk.
