Dave.com offers a membership service that costs up to $5 per month. This membership gives you access to things like ExtraCash™, Income Opportunity Services, and tools to help manage your money. The monthly fee is automatically charged on the same date every month until you cancel your membership or close your Dave account. Just deleting the app won’t stop the charges, so you have to cancel the membership properly in the app settings if you no longer want to be billed.
Canceling a subscription or membership with Dave is straightforward through the app by navigating to the account or settings tab; users can manage or close their membership in just a few steps. The process is clearly outlined and can be completed quickly, making it relatively easy for consumers.

How to Contact Dave
If you need assistance, here's how you can get in touch with Dave's support team.
Unlink Dave from your bank account first to prevent further charges.
Remove your debit or credit card linked to Dave from within the app under Settings > Linked banks and cards.
Expect follow-up emails asking you to resolve any outstanding advances after you unlink the account.
Account closure may be blocked if you have unresolved advances, so try to clear those before closing the account.
Wait for a few days after unlinking/removing payment methods to ensure no further charges go through.
Escalate by contacting customer support or replying firmly to resolution requests if Dave tries to enforce payments after you tried to unlink.
Do not authorize payment reversals with third parties prematurely without first removing Dave's access, else they could argue fraud.
Patience and persistence are key, as some users report it may take a week or more to fully stop charges.

Before cancelling your Dave subscription and accounts, know that cancelling your Dave Membership stops the monthly fee and related services at the end of the current membership cycle, but simply deleting the app does not cancel your membership or close your accounts. You must go into the app settings to cancel membership and separately close your bank accounts. Upon closing your Dave account, you will lose access to all Dave accounts, have your external bank accounts and debit card(s) disconnected, and your Dave debit cards canceled. Any remaining balances should be transferred out beforehand, and tax documents should be downloaded before account closure. The final monthly bank statement will be sent to you after closing.
