How to Cancel Dave: Membership and Account Closure

Step 1: Cancel the membership

1. Open the Dave app and go to Settings.
2. Scroll down and tap Membership.
3. Follow the prompts to cancel.

Dave says you must cancel at least 3 business days before your next subscription fee to avoid being billed for the following month. The charge date appears in your recurring payment authorization in the app. Services continue until the end of your last paid month.

Step 2: Delete your Dave account (close the bank accounts)

1. Move any remaining balance to an external bank account. Dave notes this can take a few business days.
2. Download your tax documents from the app's settings.
3. Go to Settings → Edit profile → Close my Dave Account.

Want to close only some accounts and keep others? Dave says to message Member Success through Settings → Chat.

How to stop Dave from taking money

Two different things can pull money from your bank, and they stop differently:

• The membership fee stops when you cancel in Settings → Membership, at least 3 business days before the next charge.
• An ExtraCash settlement can't be stopped once you've taken ExtraCash. Dave says each request is a separate, one-time authorization that isn't eligible for revocation or cancellation. If the full amount isn't in your account, Dave takes partial settlements over time instead, with no late fees.

The cleanest exit is to settle any ExtraCash balance (ExtraCash tab → Settle), then cancel the membership, then close the accounts. More on settlement timing: how Dave ExtraCash works.

Before you close

What happens after

• Physical Dave debit cards are canceled; shred them.
• A final statement arrives at the start of the following month.

Leaving because ExtraCash doesn't cover what you need? See apps like Dave or compare short-term loan offers.
