HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP

While producers have of course polished and added elements to the Netflix hit to make it more entertaining, the business does exist in real life. Called Burnley Savings & Loans (BSAL), it is trading under the slogan “Bank of Dave!" at 30 Keirby Walk. Since its early days BSAL has now grown. The office which had consisted of 3 members of staff, has now expanded to create a team of experienced friendly staff, and a suite of offices in our high street branch in the heart of Burnley. The company continues to make decisions based on experience and good, old fashioned common sense, making a difference to small businesses and real people, and has also helped a large number of different charities and good causes along the way. Through his media profile, and his many award winning consumer TV series shown in the UK and abroad, Dave has continued to lobby parliament to make changes to the banking industry, and educate people with tips helping them to improve their businesses and finances. He firmly believes that BSAL is the way of the future, and wants to prove that the financial industry can also be socially responsible. New Challenges

BSAL opened its doors in 2011 and was Dave's response to what he perceived as a broken banking system. While not a bank but rather an independent lending business, BSAL lends money to people and businesses who were unsuccessful in applying for loans at high street banks. In his bid to set up a simple, no-nonsense bank that actually cares about its customers, Dave plans to use hundreds of thousands of pounds of his own money. His enterprise will offer his customers a far better rate of interest than they get on the high street; he will lend to struggling local businesses that the banks don't want to know about; and he aims to bring the Bank of Dave into profit within 180 days. If he succeeds, he'll give whatever he makes to charity. If he fails, he'll make a terrible loss and ruin his hard-earned reputation as a successful businessman.

Dave spoke about watching the credit crunch hitting his hometown of Burnley hard, witnessing local businesses closing on a daily basis. With no money to get things moving, he looked into expanding and not just lending money to his own customers, but also to those in the wider community. He said "lending money to my customers had made me realise that banking was actually quite a simple process: you just take people's money and then lend it out to other people, making sure you charge them more interest than you pay out. So I thought maybe I could open a tiny bank to serve the local community. Not a big bank but maybe a better bank. How hard could it be?" Clarke, Cath (15 January 2023).
