    On Sunday May 11 I got a direct deposit from Stripe to my Dave Checking account for $904 and May 12 it was marked as paid and I never received it. I contacted stripe and Dave and stripe gave me Trace IDs and formed me that they sent the payout to the bank. Dave keeps telling me they dont have it and when they recieve it Ill get a notification. They keep giving me the run around. Then, May 13 I got a payout for $241 and stripe paid it and I didnt recieve it once again. Dave keeps giving me the run around and keeps lying about not receiving it. I am not the first ****** this happened to and this is ridiculous and unprofessional. I cannot even pay my rent because I was expecting my payouts and got NOTHING! Please tell them to give me money ASAP.

    My account was frozen for suspicious activity. Theres no suspicious activity to my knowledge because they locked me out and I cant see anything at all. I provided all the documents requested via email pics of ID selfie bank statement personal information yet no one has gotten back to me. I was foolish to transfer my money on to my dave debit card from my direct deposit so now Im sitting here with no money because its being held for suspicious activity yet no one is communication as to what this activity is like most places would or when I would be able to get my money back at all. What is going on with this place? Is it some sort of scam because if so they definitely got me

    The Dave banking app has been an alright app so far. However; they recently changed their policy without letting anyone know and refuse to make right by it. I took an advance today 5/9/2025 and wanted to pay it back immediately to make my advance amount go back to where it should have been. I have had positive and healthy deposits/balances for months. When brought to customer service attention they claim you cant pay back early/same day, and they have no control over the amounts offered. I was told I had to keep my bank balance healthy, spending habits low(they are) and 1 or more deposits of $1000. Easily done considering my job.

    My account was reported fraudulent transactions. I gave a police report with details of everything taken and my claim was denied. I feel as if a investigation was not done properly or they wouldve seen how my account was hindered

    I delivered a lawful written revocation of its ACH authorization under the *************** Transfer Act, 15U.S.C.1693e(b), and RegulationE, 12C.F.R.1005.10. Daves duty was binary: stop the debits, confirm in writing. Instead it ignored the statute, stonewalled me, and demanded a full birth date, last four of SSN, full address, and card digits, insisting I email that PII through plain Gmail. That request flouts the *****-*****-****** Safeguards Rules encryption mandate and reeks of data fishing.Dave already holds my verified account identifiers. Its refusal to comply is willful noncompliance, an unfair practice under 12U.S.C.5531, and negligence per se. I am preparing **** and *** complaints, chargebacks, and a civil action for actual and statutory damages, treble damages if bad-faith investigation persists, plus attorney fees.

    The Dave app allowed me to set up reoccurring payments based off my payment schedule. The app was suppose to take the repayment on 9th however the repayments came out a week early I attempted to contact 5 representatives that hung up on me and stated that even though I have proof they were not suppose to charge me they wont fix or replace the money they were not entitled to. They pulled out two separate amounts even after I called the customer service and explained the situation. Please help me they are refusing to fix the mistake in their end and its costing me double the money for Dave/s mistake.

    I confirmed with Dave Bank that they intend to ban my account because i filed disputes. As a incidental matter i still see their card on my credit report and you may remove this to resolve The ******** aware that the customer service at this company is nonsentient and all calls immediately go to voice mail and all emails immediately recieve an automated reply and nothing else. I have opened about 10 different support tickets about different issues, including their intent to ban my account. These can be reviewed to determine if total nonresponse is the correct response.
