Bank of Dave: How I Took On the Banks

Product Information

Is Pain Hustlers based on a true story? The inspiration behind the Netflix film starring Emily Blunt and Chris Evans Not only did Def Leppard not play the concert, the concert itself never happened, and the funds were never raised – part of the reason why the Bank of Dave isn’t actually a real bank yet. This is a remarkably solid and engaging little book about one entrepreneur's decision to take on the banking system. I read it for work, for a research project examining alternatives to global banking and how people talk about them, and for that, this was definitely worthwhile. The way the English talk about money and the values around it is surprisingly different from how Americans do: lots more values-talk without the sound of religious dog-whistles, less gee-whizzery and bottom-lining. The humour that filtered through coupled with the practical nuggets of sage advice applicable in any industry/ business/ venture was much appreciated.

On Dave's loan company being more important than ever during the cost of living crisis, Kinnear said "But there’s a limited amount of cash. So, do other people have the energy to create a similar thing? To show there’s a fairer way, rather than people just being cut off… Shows you the limitations of the capitalist system – that if you can’t pay, you’re out." He added "I don’t know what the alternative is. I don’t have the answers, nor the energy. But we need to flag this up. It will be the death of us as a race if the apogee of human existence remains to own a private jet. That’s what we’re selling. That’s what we consider success to be. And everyone who involves themselves in the selling of that formula, well, I’d ask them to reconsider.

My state pension record has a big hole from the time I was looking after my child: Steve Webb replies Dave's argument is that banking works when it does what it was created to do centuries ago: help grow local economies through direct evaluation of value and risk. He claims, implicitly and sometimes explicitly, that despite "Big Data" and computational analysis, global banks simply don't care about the data that makes solid value/risk decisionmaking possible and useful. He makes a pretty solid evidentiary case, as he describes taking on a series of small businesspeople who'd been rejected for financing by their banks.
