Reworded topics: class action, fine, penalt, interest rate

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

Certain states have adopted laws regulating and requiring licensing, registration, notice filing, or other approval by parties that engage in certain activities regarding consumer finance transactions. For example, several states, including California, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, South Carolina, and Wisconsin, have adopted regulatory and licensing requirements specific to “earned wage access” products (collectively, “State Earned Wage Access Laws”). The Connecticut Department of Labor also issued guidance regarding earned wage access products, stating that the products may implicate state wage statutes and fees for the products that are passed to the employees must be approved by the Commissioner of Labor. The State Earned Wage Access Laws have exemptions for bank-issued products such as ExtraCash, but it is possible that the relevant states’ regulatory authorities may not agree with the Company’s interpretation of these exemptions. In addition, certain states have adopted laws regulating and requiring licensing by parties that engage in certain activity regarding consumer finance transactions, including facilitating and assisting such transactions in certain circumstances. The application of some consumer finance licensing laws to Dave is uncertain, evolving and unsettled. If we were found to be in violation of one or more of the licensure or State Earned Wage Access Laws, we could be subject to fines, damages, injunctive relief, and other penalties or consequences. For example, in November 2024, the Washington, D.C. attorney general filed a complaint against the earned wage access provider EarnIn, alleging that its product is a loan, that fees for instant access to funds are misrepresented to consumers and not properly disclosed, and that the interest rate associated with the fees for instant access to funds exceeds the Washington, D.C. usury cap. Also in November 2024, consumers filed an amended class action complaint against EarnIn in the Northern District of California, alleging that the fees for instant access to funds and tipping on the platform are finance charges, and that EarnIn failed to make required disclosures under the Truth in Lending Act and its implementing regulations.

Reworded topics: material weakness

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

Dave identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. If Dave identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect Dave’s business and share price.

Removed text topics: litigation, class action
“In addition, we are also subject to consumer litigation, including putative consumer class actions which allege that we violate federal and/or state laws regulating the financial services industry. For example, in July 2022, a purported class action Lopez v. Dave, Inc. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging violations of California consumer protection laws and state and federal lending laws, among other things, and we settled this matter in July 2024.

Reworded

ExtraCash exposes us to credit risk of our Members and if our underwriting criteria for ExtraCash is not sufficient to mitigate against this risk, or if the data we useused to underwrite is inaccurate or incomplete, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected if a substantial number of our Members fail to repay the ExtraCash overdraft they receive.

Reworded

If we are unable to keep pace with the rapid technological and AI-related developments in our industry and the larger financial services industry necessary to continue providing our Members with new and innovative products and services, the use of our platform and other products and services could decline. In addition, if the prices we charge for our products and services are unacceptable to our Members, our operating results will be harmed.

Reworded

Use of artificial intelligenceAI in our operations and product offerings could result in reputational or competitive harm, legal or regulatory liability and adverse impacts on our results of operations.

Reworded

We currently rely on a singletwo bank partner,partners, andbut ifintend to eventually rely on one bank partner. If our present or any future key banking relationships are terminated and we are not able to secure or successfully migrate client portfolios to a new bank partner or partners, or oura bank partner becomes subject to regulatory restrictions or other operational disruptions, our business would be adversely affected.

Reworded

Our recent rapid growth, including growth in our volume of payments,ExtraCash transactions and related revenue, may not be indicative of our future growth, and if we continue to grow rapidly, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively. Our rapid growth also makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to be successful.

Reworded

Dave identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. If Dave identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect Dave’s business and share price.

Reworded

Our business is subject to extensive regulation and oversight in a variety of areas under federal, state and local laws, and is subject to regulatory investigationsinvestigations, consumer litigation and consumermass litigation.arbitrations.

Reworded

The financial services industry continues to be highly regulated and subject to new laws or regulations in many jurisdictions, including the U.S. states and localities in which we operate, which could restrict the products and services we offer, impose additional compliance costs on us, render our current operations unprofitable or even prohibit our current or future operations.

Reworded

Litigation, mass arbitrations, regulatory actions, and compliance issues could subject us to fines, penalties, judgments, remediation costs, and/or other requirements resulting in increased expenses and reputational harm.

Reworded

The industries in which we compete are highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant changes. We compete against companies and financial institutions across the retail banking, financial services, consumer technology and financial technology services industries, as well as other nonbank lenders serving credit-challenged consumers, including online marketplace lenders, check cashers, point-of-sale lenders and payday lenders. We may compete with others in the market who may in the future provide offerings similar to ours, particularly companies who may provide money management, lending and other services thoughthrough a platform similar to our platform. These and other competitors in the banking and financial technology industries are introducing innovative products and services that may compete with ours. We expect that this competition will continue as banking and financial technology industries continue to evolve, particularly if non-traditional non-recourse advance providers and other parties gain greater market share in these industries or if changes in financial services regulation enable new competitors to enter the sector or new means of offering products and services that compete with ours. For example, some earned wage access providers with which Dave competes are evaluating whether to adopt new business models, such as through providing overdraft services through a partner bank or extending a line of credit. Additionally, these earned wage access providers are sponsoring federal and state legislative efforts that would provide support for the non-recourse earned wage products that they offer. If we are unable to differentiate our products and platform from and successfully compete with those of our competitors, or if our competitors adopt business models that more closely resemble our own, we may lose our competitive advantage and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Reworded

ExtraCash exposes us to credit risk of our Members and if our underwriting criteria for ExtraCash is not sufficient to mitigate against this risk, or if the data we useused to underwrite is inaccurate or incomplete, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected if a substantial number of our Members fail to repay the ExtraCash overdraft they receive.

Reworded

The ExtraCash product exposes us to financial losses if Members do not repay the ExtraCash overdraft. The timing and volume of repaymentssettlements have a significant impact on our financial results and cash flows. If a large number of Members do not repay ExtraCash overdrafts, our financial condition and operating results would be adversely affected.

Reworded

Our underwriting standards may not offer adequate protection against the risk of non-payment, especially in periods of economic uncertainty such as existed more recently with rising interest rates, and inflationary pressures. We rely on consumer’s bank account data obtained through a third party in order to develop our underwriting models and in order to underwrite any particular consumer’s ExtraCash overdraft. If this data becomes unavailable or is inaccurate or incomplete, our underwriting may not adequately predict repaymentsettlement of advances. In addition, if the cost to obtain this data materially increases, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Reworded

There can be no assurance that our performance forecasts will be accurate. In periods with changing economic conditions, elevated interest rates and persistent inflationary pressures, accurately forecasting repaymentsettlement of ExtraCash receivables is more difficult. Our credit loss allowance is an estimate, and if actual repaymentsettlement defaults are materially greater than our credit loss allowance, or more generally, if our forecasts are not accurate, our financial position, liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Specifically, we may incur net charge-offs in excess of our reserves, or we may be required to increase our provision for credit losses, either of which would adversely affect our results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reworded

Our Members may not view ExtraCash overdrafts facilitated through our platform as having the same significance as other credit obligations arising under more traditional circumstances.

Reworded

The performance of ExtraCash is significantly dependent on our ability to develop and deploy effective models, with oversight by our bank partner,partners, to evaluate an applicant’s credit profile and likelihood of default based on a variety of factors and originate ExtraCash overdrafts. Despite recession-readiness planning and stress forecasting, there is no assurance that the credit criteria can accurately predict performance under economic conditions such as a prolonged down-cycle or recessionary economic environment or the governmental response to periods of disruption, which may drive unexpected outcomes. If the credit criteria does not accurately reflect credit risk on the ExtraCash overdrafts, greater than expected losses may result on these ExtraCash receivables and our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Reworded

If we are unable to keep pace with the rapid technological and AI-related developments in our industry and the larger financial services industry necessary to continue providing our Members with new and innovative products and services, the use of our platform and other products and services could decline.

Reworded

The financial services industry is subject to rapid and significant technological changes.changes, including those related to AI. We cannot predict the effect of technological changes on our business. We expect that new services and technologies applicable to our industry will continue to emerge, and these new services and technologies may be superior to, or render obsolete, the technologies we currently utilize in our products and services. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop new technologies and adapt to technological changes and evolving industry standards. These initiatives are inherently risky, and they may not be successful or may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, we may make future investments in, or enter into strategic partnerships to develop new technologies and services or to implement infrastructure to further our strategic objectives, strengthen our existing businesses and remain competitive. However, our ability to transition to new services and technologies that we develop may be inhibited by a lack of industry-wide standards, changes to the regulatory landscape, resistance by consumers to these changes, or by the intellectual property rights of third parties.

Reworded

WeIn recentlyFebruary changed2025, ourwe ExtraCashcompleted pricingthe modeltransition fromto ana simplified, transparent fee structure. The previous optional fee model towas replaced with a simplifiedmandatory 5% overdraft service fee structurefee, including a $5 minimum and $15 maximum.minimum. We also generate revenue by charging Members a fixed monthly rate for membership to our platform and from our Dave Bankingbanking Productproducts through interchange and out-of-network ATM fees, as well as from our job portal service through referral fees from partner companies. As the market for our platform matures, as new or existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours or if general inflationary pressures continue, we may experience pricing pressure and be unable to retain current Members and attract new Members at prices that are consistent with our pricing model and operating budget. Our pricing strategy for existing or new products and services, including our recent changes to eliminate optional tips and fees, may prove to be unappealing to our Members, and our competitors could choose to bundle certain products and services to be competitive with ours. If this were to occur, it is possible that we would have to change our pricing strategies or reduce our prices, which could harm our revenue, gross profits, and operating results.

Reworded

Use of artificial intelligenceAI in our operations and product offerings could result in reputational or competitive harm, legal or regulatory liability and adverse impacts on our results of operations.

Reworded

We have incorporated, and expect to continue to incorporate in the future, AI solutions into our operations and product offerings. For exampleexample, our underwriting engine, CashAI, contains models that are built using AI technologies such as machine learning. We also have partnered with a third party vendor to offer DaveGPT, a generative AI chat bot that offers self-service customer inquiry resolution through natural language conversations. The use of AI creates various risks and challenges that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The development and deployment of AI systems involve inherent technical complexities and uncertainties, and our AI systems may encounter unexpected technical difficulties, limitations or errors, including inaccuracies in data processing or flawed algorithms, which could compromise the reliability and effectiveness of our products and services based on AI. In addition, our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their products more quickly or more successfully than us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively.

Reworded

We currently rely on a singletwo bank partner,partners, andbut ifintend to eventually rely on one bank partner. If our present or any future key banking relationships are terminated and we are not able to secure or successfully migrate client portfolios to a new bank partner or partners, or oura bank partner becomes subject to regulatory restrictions or other operational disruptions, our business would be adversely affected.

Reworded

We currently rely on agreements with Evolve Bankand & Trust (“Evolve”),Coastal, our onlytwo bank partner,partners, to provide ExtraCash and other deposit accounts, debit card services and other transaction services to us and our Members. In June 2024, Evolve became subject to a consent order issued by its primary regulator, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”), that imposes restrictions on Evolve’s operations and risk management practices. The recent bankruptcy of Synapse Financial Technologies, Inc. (“Synapse”), also affected the ability of customers of financial technology companies that used Synapse as a service provider to access funds placed at Synapse’s partner banks, including Evolve, for a number of months. We recently announced that we have entered into a Program Agreement with Coastal Community Bank to become a sponsor for our banking and ExtraCash products. Our Members will begin onboarding to Coastal Community Bank as soon as Q2 2025.

Reworded

These agreements and corresponding regulations and supervisory expectations governing banks and financial institutions may give Evolve or Coastal Community Bank substantial discretion in approving certain aspects of our business practices, including our application and qualification procedures for Members and require us to comply with certain legal requirements. Our current or future bank partner’s discretionary actions or interpretations of our obligations under these agreements could impose material limitations to, or have a material adverse effect on, our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any disruptions or restrictions on our bank partner’s operations could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, in May 2024, Evolve experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the leak of certain customer information, including the information of some of our Members.

Added

While we are in the process of transitioning our Members’ accounts to Coastal, which we expect to be substantially finalized by the end of 2026, currently the substantial majority of our Members’ accounts are with Evolve, and we therefore remain reliant on Evolve for the substantial majority of our ExtraCash originations and receivables.

Reworded

If our relationshiprelationships with our bank partnerpartners isare terminated or if one of our bank partnerpartners is unable to provide the necessary services to us, we would need to find another financial institution to provide those services, which could be difficultdifficult, require a long lead time, and be expensive. Transitioning Members’ accounts from one bank partner to another, including the anticipated transition from Evolve to Coastal Community Bank,Coastal, raises the risk of financial losses as a result of operational errors, including but not limited to, loss or disclosure of Member data and records, software defects, service disruption, employee misconduct, security breaches, or other similar actions or errors as well as from disputes or negotiations with an existing or prospective bank partner. Transitioning Members’ accounts from one bank partner to another also entails risk of disruption to our business from differences in the manner in which the new bank partner provides products and services to Members, including the new bank partner’s credit underwriting, regulatory compliance practices, and customer service practices and difficulties operating with more than one bank partner during any transition. The occurrence of any such events or any such changes in our bank partner’s practices could cause financial losses to our business and our Members, loss of trust, damage to our reputation, or termination of our agreements with strategic partners, each of which could result in loss of Members; loss or delayed market acceptance and sales of our products or services; legal claims against us, including from our existing or prospective bank partner; regulatory enforcement action; or diversion of resources, including through increased service expenses or financial concessions and increased insurance costs. If we are unable to find a replacement financial institution to provide the services we receive from our bank partner,partners, we would not be able to offer ExtraCash, service our deposit accounts, debit cards and other services, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our financial results could be adversely affected if our costs associated with using our bank partnerpartners materially change or if any penalty or claim for damages is imposed as a result of our breach of our agreements with our bank partner.partners.

Reworded

Our Members benefit from deposit insurance with respect to funds that we placeplaced on their behalf at our bank partner partners—or that our bank partnerpartners placesmay place with other banks through reciprocal deposit arrangements—in accordance with FDIC pass-through deposit insurance requirements, which apply to funds placed and held at an FDIC-insured bank through a third party. Under the pass-through insurance rules, funds owned by a principal or principals and deposited into one or more deposit accounts at an insured bank in the name of an agent, custodian or nominee, can be insured to the same extent as if the funds were deposited in the name of the principal or principals. For purposes of determining pass-through deposit insurance coverage at the time an insured bank fails, the FDIC may rely on records of those other than a failed insured bank to identify depositors and their insured deposits if such records are maintained in good faith and in the regular course of business, the deposited funds are in fact owned by the principal and not by the third party who set up the deposit account, and the insured bank’s account records and account titling indicate the agency or custodial nature of the account. If the regulatory pass-through insurance requirements are satisfied, each of our Members’ interest in deposits that we place on their behalf at our partner bankbanks is separately insured up to the statutory deposit insurance limit, currently $250,000 for deposits held in each deposit ownership category. If the pass-through insurance requirements are not satisfied due to operational failures by us or a third-party service provider, including our partner bank,banks, there would be less deposit insurance coverage with respect to funds that we place on behalf of our Members at our partner bankbanks; our Members could be harmed in the event of a failure of our bank partnerpartners; and we could be subject to enforcement actions, claims from third parties, including our consumers, and suffer economic harm that could have an adverse effect on our business. Further, negative publicity arising from our Members not benefiting from pass-through deposit insurance in the event of a failure of oura partner bank could be damaging to our reputation and may adversely impact use of our products and services, including our platform, and adversely affect our ability to attract new Members and business partners.

Reworded

On October 2, 2024, the FDIC announced and published a proposed rulemaking that, if adopted, would increase requirements for certain custodial deposit accounts at insured banks, including requirements related to recordkeeping, internal controls, policies and procedures, as well as a requirement that the depository bank conduct daily reconciliations against the beneficial ownership records of the custodial deposit accounts. If the proposed rulemaking or a similar rulemaking is adopted, it may increase the operational costs and difficulty in placing our Member’s funds at our partner bankbanks and could result in operating difficulties, liabilities and expenses that harm our business.

Reworded

In some cases, third-party vendors are the sole source, or one of a limited number of sources, of the services they provide to us. For example, we are solely reliant on our agreement with our cloud computing web services provider for the provision of cloud infrastructure services to support our platform. In addition, we primarily rely on a single third-party vendor to provide a number of issuing and processing services across several of our products.

Reworded

While we oversee these service providers to help ensure they provide services in accordance with our agreements and regulatory requirements, we do not have control over the operations of any of our third-party service providers. In the event that a third-party service provider fails to perform for any reason, including negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunication failures, software and hardware defects, terrorist attacks and similar events, our ability to process payments and perform other operational functions for which we currently rely on such third-party service providers will suffer and our business, cash flows and future prospects may be negatively impacted. For example, the recent bankruptcy of Synapse has affected the ability of customers of financial technology companies that used Synapse as a service provider to access funds placed at Synapse’s partner banks, including Evolve, for a number of months. While we were not directly affected by the bankruptcy of Synapse, the occurrence of similar failures by certain of our service providers could similarly cause financial losses to our business and our Members, loss of trust, damage to our reputation, or termination of our agreements with strategic partners, each of which could result in loss of Members; loss or delayed market acceptance and sales of our products or services; legal claims against us; regulatory enforcement action; or diversion of resources, including through increased service expenses or financial concessions and increased insurance costs. In addition, certain federal and state regulators have cited Synapse’s bankruptcy in connection with proposed regulatory initiatives. These initiatives, or similar actions by federal and state regulators, may increase compliance costs associated with our business or impact our relationships with our current partner bankbanks or any future partner bank, limit our ability to offer our Members deposit accounts through “for-benefit-of” arrangements with our partner bank,banks, or restrict the availability or marketing of pass-through deposit insurance for such accounts, which could adversely impact use of our products and services, including our platform, and adversely affect our ability to attract new Members and business partners.

Reworded

Our recent rapid growth, including growth in our volume of payments,ExtraCash transactions and related revenue, may not be indicative of our future growth, and if we continue to grow rapidly, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively. Our rapid growth also makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to be successful.

Reworded

Our operating revenues increased fromwere $259.1 million in 2023 to2023, $347.1 million in 2024.2024, and $554.2 million in 2025. Although we have recently experienced significant growth in our revenue and transaction volume, even if our revenue continues to increase, we expect our growth rate will decline in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including the increasing scale of our business. Overall growth of our revenue depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

Reworded

Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities using ExtraCash or deposit account products or Member information. Illegal activities involving products and services like ours often include malicious social engineering schemes, fraudulent payment or refund schemes, fabricated identities, account takeovers, identity theft and other fraudulent schemes. We rely upon third parties for transaction processing services, which subjects us and our Members to risks related to the vulnerabilities of those third parties. A single significant incident of fraud, or increases in the overall level of fraud, involving our products and services, have in the past and could in the future, result in operational losses and reputational damage to us. Such damage could reduce the use and acceptance of our products and services, cause our banking and strategic partners to cease doing business with us, or lead to greater regulation that would increase our compliance costs. Fraudulent activity could also result in the imposition of regulatory sanctions, including significant monetary fines, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, in December 2024, the CFPB sued JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo for failing to implement anti-fraud measures pertaining to their accountholders’ use of the third party peer-to-peer payment platform, Zelle. The CFPB complaint alleges that failing to investigate notices of unauthorized and incorrect transfers could result in risk under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E.

Reworded

To address the challenges we face with respect to fraudulent activity of the nature outlined above and other fraudulent activities, we have implemented risk control mechanisms that have made it more difficult for all Members, including legitimate Members, to obtain and use our Dave Bankingbanking Product.products. We believe it is likely that our risk control mechanisms may continue to adversely affect the growth of our Dave Bankingbanking Productproducts for the foreseeable future and, as a result, negatively impact our operating revenues.

Reworded

Our decisions to provide many of our products and services to Members are based partly on information that they provide to us or authorize us to receive. To the extent that these Members or third parties provide information to us in a manner that we are unable to verify, our decision-making process may not accurately reflect the associated risk. In addition, data provided by third-party sources is a component of our credit decision making and this data may contain inaccuracies. This may result in the inability to either approve otherwise qualified applicants or rejectedreject otherwise unqualified applicants through our platform or accurately analyze credit data, which may adversely impact our business and negatively impact our reputation.

Reworded

Fraudulent activity involving Dave banking accounts may lead to fraudulent or baseless Member disputed transactions, for which Evolveeach of our bank partners as the card issuer, and we, under our agreementagreements with Evolve,our bank partners, are liable under banking regulations such as the EFTA and its implementing Regulation E, or under the rules set by the payment processing networks through which the card was issued, such as Visa or Mastercard. Our fraud detection and risk control mechanisms may not prevent all fraudulent or illegal activity, and the regulations and payment network rules may become more onerous, causing additional losses for us. To the extent we incur losses from disputed transactions, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, our Members can incur charges in excess of the funds available in their accounts, and we may become liable for these overdrafts. While we decline authorization attempts for amounts that exceed the available balance in a Member’s account, the application of payment network rules and the timing of the settlement of transactions, among other things, can result in overdrawn accounts.

Reworded

Laws and regulationregulations governing overdrafts continuescontinue to evolve and may change. For example, on December 12, 2024, the CFPB proposedissued regulations that would impose additional obligations and restrict fees on overdraft accounts provided by certain financial institutions. IfWhile this proposalrule orwas disapproved pursuant to the Congressional Review Act on May 9, 2025, and thus did not take effect, if other changes to the laws and regulations governing overdrafts are enacted, our ExtraCash product and other aspects of our business could be adversely affected.

Reworded

In the normal course of business, we collect, process, use and retain sensitive and confidential information regarding our Members and prospective Members, including data provided by and related to Members and their transactions, as well as other data of the counterparties to their payments. We also have arrangements in place with certain third-party service providers with which we share consumer information for servicing purposes. Information security risks in the financial services industry continue to increase generally, in part because of new technologies,technologies (including the development of AI), the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies (including mobile devices) to conduct financial and other business transactions and the increased sophistication and activities of organized criminals, perpetrators of fraud, hackers, terrorists and other malicious third parties. In addition to cyberattacks and other security breaches involving the theft of sensitive and confidential information, hackers, terrorists, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors and other malicious third parties recently have engaged in attacks that are designed to disrupt key business services, such as consumer-facing applications and websites.

Reworded

These cybersecurity challenges, including threats to our own IT infrastructure or that of our third-party providers, may take a variety of forms ranging from stolen bank accounts, email compromise, user fraud, account takeover, check fraud and cybersecurity attacks (including ransomware, unauthorized encryption, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, unauthorized access, spam and other attacks) to “mega breaches” targeted against cloud-based services and other hosted software, which could be initiated by individual or groups of hackers or sophisticated cyber criminals. A cybersecurity incident or breach could result in disclosure of confidential information or intellectual property, or cause service interruptions and compromised data. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage systems they change frequently and often are not detected until after an incident has occurred, so we may be unable to anticipate or prevent techniques used in the future. Our information technology and infrastructure, as well as those of our third-party service providers, have experienced breaches and may be subject or vulnerable in the future to breaches or attacks. For example, a third-party breach at our bank partner, Evolve, resulted in improper disclosure of certain of certain of our Members’ information, including their names, Social Security numbers, partner bank account numbers, date of birth, and contact information. Any future improper disclosure of our own confidential business information or the information of our Members could materially and adversely affect our business.

Added

In 2020, unauthorized third parties gained access to certain incomplete or encrypted information about our Members. In addition, in 2024, our bank partner, Evolve, experienced a data breach that resulted in improper disclosure of certain of our Members’ information, including their names, Social Security numbers, partner bank account numbers, date of birth, and contact information. As we have increased our Member base and our brand has become more widely known and recognized, third parties may continue to seek to compromise our security controls or gain unauthorized access to our sensitive corporate information or our Members’ data.

Removed

In May 2020, an unauthorized third party attempted to gain access to Dave Member accounts and was able to access Member profiles and Members’ partial or incomplete bank account information. We did not uncover any evidence that the attacker was able to take any actions with respect to the data other than gaining read access to it, nor do we believe any unauthorized transactions were made or ExtraCash overdrafts requested on our platform. We provided notice to relevant parties as required under applicable law and agreements and took steps to set up alerts to detect abnormal request volumes and introduced rate limiting at the IP address level. In addition, in June 2020, we were notified of an unauthorized third-party breach of our Dave database. The third party was able to gain access to Dave’s system by breaching the system of one of Dave’s third-party service providers. The attacker was able to download a large data set, including encrypted social security numbers for some Members; however, there was no evidence that unauthorized transactions were made or ExtraCash overdrafts requested on our platform, nor do we believe that the third party gained access to decryption keys or otherwise was able to decrypt the encrypted information. The May 2020 and June 2020 incidents are collectively referred to herein as the “2020 Incidents.” We took remedial measures, including the engagement of an outside security consultant to monitor for ongoing dark web activity and to conduct a security audit and incident investigation, and notified relevant parties as required under applicable law and agreements. As a result of the 2020 Incidents, we settled a purported class action in California for approximately $3.1 million and we settled individual claims outside of California for approximately $4.4 million. In addition, in 2024, our bank partner, Evolve, experienced a data breach that resulted in improper disclosure of certain of our Members’ information, including their names, Social Security numbers, partner bank account numbers, date of birth, and contact information. As we have increased our Member base and our brand has become more widely known and recognized, third parties may continue to seek to compromise our security controls or gain unauthorized access to our sensitive corporate information or our Members’ data.

Our core principle, and the foundation on which we have built our company, is to deliver simple, transparent, and fair financial products. Therefore, we have made in the past, and may make in the future, decisions that we believe will benefit our Members and therefore provide long-term benefits for our business, even if our decision negatively impacts our short-term results of operations. For example, on February 20, 2025, we announced the completion of changes to our optional fee revenue model (tips and instant transfer fees) for ExtraCash. The optional fee model was replaced with a simplified 5% overdraft service fee structure including a $5 minimum and $15 maximum, starting with new customers in December 2024, and completely transitioned to existing customers as of February 19, 2025. Our decisions may negatively impact our short-term financial results or not provide the long-term benefits that we expect, in which case the success of our business and results of operations could be harmed.

Reworded

We expect interchange revenues from fees charged to merchants by card networks for processing a debit or credit payment to represent a significant percentage of our total operating revenues as adoption of our Dave Bankingbanking Productproducts increases. The amount of interchange revenues that we earn is highly dependent on the interchange rates that the payment networks set and adjust from time to time.

Reworded

The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act required the Federal Reserve Board to implement regulations that have substantially limited interchange fees for many debit card issuers. While the interchange rates that may be earned by our partner banks and shared with us are currently exempt from the limitations imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act, there can be no assurance that future regulation or changes by the payment networks will not impact our interchange revenues substantially. If interchange rates decline, whether due to actions by the payment networks or future regulation, we would likely need to change our fee structure to offset the loss of interchange revenues. To the extent we change the pricing of our Dave Bankingbanking Product,products, we might find it more difficult to acquire new Members, to maintain or grow Dave banking debit card usage and to retain existing Members. As a result, our total operating revenues, operating results, prospects for future growth and overall business could be materially and adversely affected.

Reworded

As a result of these continuing costs and expenses, we need to generate significant revenues to attain and maintain profitability and positive cash flow. To date, our operations have been supported by primarily through cash receipts from services and transaction based revenues, equity financings, borrowings under the Debt Facility, issuances of convertible notes and funds received as a result of the business combination. If we do not continue to increase our revenues, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Reworded

In March 2022, in response to inflationary conditions, the U.S. Federal Reserve began raising the federal funds interest rate and continued to do so through July 2023, with the federal funds interest rate remaining elevated compared to March 2022 rates as of February 2025. Elevated interest rates have had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the spending levels of consumers and their ability and willingness to borrow money. Higher interest rates often lead to higher payment obligations, which may reduce the ability of consumers to remain current on their obligations and, therefore, lead to increased delinquencies, defaults, consumer bankruptcies and charge-offs, and decreasing recoveries, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Reworded

We are exposed to many types of operational risk, including the risk of misconduct and errors by our employees, contractors and third-party service providers. Our business depends on our employees, contractors and third-party service providers to facilitate the operation of our business and process a large number of increasingly complex transactions, and if any of our employees, contractors or third-party service providers provide unsatisfactory service or take, convert or misuse funds, documents or data (including Member and/or internal documents or data), make an error, or fail to follow protocol (including when interacting with Members), we could lose Members, harm our reputation, be liable for damages, be subject to repurchase obligations and be subject to complaints, litigation, regulatory actions and penalties.

Reworded

Any of these occurrences could result in our diminished ability to operate our business, potential liability to Members, inability to attract future Members, reputational damage, regulatory intervention, litigation, enforcement action and financial harm, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

Furthermore, many of our senior management team have limited experience in managing a publicly-traded company. Their limited experience with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage and an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities, which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the company’s operations. We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in accounting policies, compliance practices or internal controls required of public companies. The development and implementation of the standards and controls and the hiring of experienced personnel necessary to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company may require expenditures greater than expected, and a delay could impact our ability to accurately and timely report our operating results, timely file required reports with the SEC and comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). On December 31, 2025, we ceased to be an emerging growth company. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404. The process of compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404 requires that we incur substantial expenses and expend significant management efforts. We have expanded our employee base to support our operations as a public company and it is possible that additional employees may need to be hired, which will increase our operating costs in future periods.

Reworded

Dave identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. If Dave identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect Dave’s business and share price.

Reworded

In connection with the preparation and audits of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, material weaknesses were identified in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Removed

Our remediation plans are described in Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reworded

In connection with the preparation and audits of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, material weaknesses were identified in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses were remediated as of December 31, 2024. We cannot provide assurance that the measures we have taken to date and may take in the future will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses or identify additional material weakness in the future, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within the time periods required by the SEC, could be adversely affected which, in turn, may adversely affect our reputation and business and the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. In addition, any such failures could result in litigation or regulatory actions by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, loss of investor confidence, delisting of our securities and harm to our reputation and financial condition, or diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of our business.

Reworded

Natural disasters, pandemics, other catastrophic events or man-made disasters may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could harm our business. We have a large employee presence in Los Angeles, California, and our data centers are located in the Midwest. The west coast of the United States contains active earthquake zones and the greater Los Angeles area has recently experienced major fires, including the significant damage and lasting effects of the January 2025 wildfires, and may experience major fires in the future. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, political instability, civil unrest, war, or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may experience system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our application development, lengthy interruptions in the availability of our products and services, breaches of data security, and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Reworded

The current U.S. administration has signaledannounced theand/or potentialimplemented impositionsignificant ofnew tariffs and retaliatory tariffs against U.S. trading partners. Potential tariffsTariffs and trade restrictions may cause the prices of products to increase, which could reduce our Members’ disposable income, and adversely impact their spending, willingness to use ExtraCash, or ability to repay ExtraCash. This, in turn, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

The current U.S. administration ishas also proposingimplemented, and seekingis continuing to implementimplement, significant changes to the size and scope of the federal government. These changes may include reductions to government funding of various programs and agencies, alteration of the payment systems it uses, changes in policy direction, reduction and possible elimination of various federal agencies and bureaus and reduction of the overall federal government workforce. These changes, which may have a positive impact by reducing the overall federal deficit and reducing regulatory burden, may also have potential negative impacts, including impacts on the economy as a whole or different regions or segments of the economy. Accordingly, it is possible that such comprehensive changes may be materially adverse to our Members, business, financial condition and results of operation.

Added

Additionally, changes in policies related to financial services and products, such as the recently announced proposed cap on credit card interest rates, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Reworded

Recent macroeconomic factors, such as elevated interest rates, global events and market volatility, may cause the economy to enter into a period of slower economic growth or a recession, the length and severity of which cannot be predicted. Such uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions can have a significant negative impact on our ability to generate adequate revenue and to absorb expected and unexpected losses. Many factors, including factors that are beyond our control, may result in higher default rates by our Members and non-payment by our technology platform clients,Members, a decline in the demand for our products, and potentially impact our ability to make accurate credit assessments, lending decisions or technology platform client selections.assessments. Any of these factors could have a detrimental impact on our financial performance and liquidity.

Reworded

The longevity and severity of aany downturn or recession will also place pressure on our business and strategy. The timing and extent of a downturn may require us to change, postpone or cancel our strategic initiatives or growth plans to pursue shorter-term sustainability. The longer and more severe an economic downturn, the greater the potential adverse impact on us.

Reworded

There can be no assurance that economic conditions will be favorable for our business, that customer interest in our platform as a service will remain at current levels, or that default rates by Members will not increase. These impacts could limit our access to capital and negatively impact our profitability.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. On January 5, 2023, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to complete a 1-for-32 reverse stock split effective January 5, 2023. The effects of the reverse stock split have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes.

The U.S. financial system has historically failed to address the needs of the millions of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck. According to the Financial Health Network (“FHN”) in 2024,2025, approximately 180185 million AmericansAmericans, representing 69% of the U.S. population, are classified as financially “"coping”" or “vulnerable” representing over 70% of the U.S. population,"vulnerable," up from 66% in 2021.

This marketpopulation includes both young and financially challenged individuals who have trouble managing cash flow, have minimal savings, regularly overdraft, and pay high fees for access to financial services. FHN research estimates there ispays approximately $38$43 billion of fees paid annually for access toin basic checking services, including account maintenance fees, overdraft fees and ATM fees and that financially vulnerable and coping populations pay over $200$225 billion in annual fees and interest for short-term credit.credit, according to FHN research. We believe these insights are supported by a Dave study of our Members which reveals that traditional financial institutions charge consumers between $350-$400 of fees annually for access to basic checking services. We also believe these trends underscore a growing need for better financial solutions and illustrate the depth ofestimate our total addressable market (“TAM”), which we estimate to be approximately 180185 million Americans thatwho do not have access to affordable and effective banking solutions.

Reworded

Our future operating results and cash flows aredepend dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges and other factors, includingon Member growth and activity, product expansion, competition, industry trendstrends, and general economic conditions.

Reworded

Member GrowthAcquisition and ActivityEngagement

Added

Revenue growth depends on efficiently acquiring new Members and driving product cross-sell. In fiscal year 2025, customer acquisition cost remained stable at approximately $19 while payback periods have improved to under four months, our fastest on record, reflecting our focus on directing acquisition spend toward the highest return opportunities.

Added

ARPU expansion is primarily driven by ExtraCash volume and the adoption of Dave Checking by Members. Dave Debit Card actives generate approximately 1.7x higher monthly ARPU than non-card users and 11 times the average monthly transaction volume, indicating materially higher engagement and lifetime value. Dave Debit Card spend reached $534 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a 17% increase year-over-year. Our mid-2025 subscription fee increase from $1 to $3 improved customer lifetime value without materially affecting conversion or retention. Subscription revenue grew 92% year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Added

Credit Performance

Added

ExtraCash profitability depends on approving creditworthy Members while maintaining disciplined delinquency and write-off rates. In fiscal year 2025, approval rates reached all-time highs, improving conversion efficiency. In February 2025, we completed the transition to a simplified fee structure with a mandatory 5% overdraft service fee (including a $5 minimum), enhancing unit economics and monetization.

Added

In September 2025, we deployed CashAI v5.5, which nearly doubles the feature set of prior versions. Early results demonstrate improved risk ranking, higher average approval amounts, and lower delinquency rates. CashAI has leveraged insights from over 180 million ExtraCash originations, a proprietary cash flow dataset that we believe provides a structural advantage in real-time credit decisioning. The short average term of ExtraCash (approximately 11 days) creates rapid feedback loops, enabling iterative model refinement.

Added

Economic conditions, particularly unemployment and consumer spending, materially influence Members' settlement capacity. Our real-time underwriting continuously evaluates transaction-level data to detect changes in income, spending, and employment. However, severe economic deterioration could materially increase delinquencies and write-offs despite model refinements.

Added

Funding and Interest Rate Sensitivity

Added

ExtraCash receivables funding costs are a material operating expense. Our variable-rate Debt Facility exposes us to interest rate risk, and elevated rates have increased borrowing costs, reducing ExtraCash unit economics.

Added

In March 2025, we entered into the Program Agreement with Coastal under which Coastal issues and maintains deposit accounts and sponsors access to debit and ACH networks. As of the fourth quarter of 2025, all new Members are being onboarded to Coastal, and we expect the transition of existing Members to be substantially finalized by the end of 2026. This partnership is expected to reduce our funding obligations and free up capital as we transition ExtraCash receivables to an off-balance-sheet structure. Coastal retains interest in an amount equal to a variable rate based on the Fed Funds Rate plus a margin while such receivables are on Coastal's balance sheet. Elevated rates have increased borrowing costs, reducing ExtraCash unit economics.

Added

Higher interest rates create dual impacts: increased funding costs reduce gross margins, while elevated rates may increase Member demand for supplemental liquidity but simultaneously reduce settlement capacity. We actively manage funding costs through bank partner relationships and debt facility negotiations.

Removed

We have made significant investments in our platform, and our business is dependent on continued Member growth, as well as our ability to offer new products and services and generate additional revenues from our existing Members using such additional products and services. Member growth and activity are critical to our ability to increase our scale, capture market share and earn an attractive return on our technology, product and marketing investments. Growth in Members and Member activity will depend heavily on our ability to continue to offer attractive products and services and the success of our marketing and Member acquisition efforts.

Removed

Product Expansion

Removed

We aim to develop and offer a best-in-class financial services platform with integrated products and services that improve the financial well-being of our Members. We have invested and continue to make significant investments in the development, improvement and marketing of our financial products and are focused on continual growth in the number of products we offer that are utilized by our Members.

Added

We compete with traditional banks and credit unions, neobanks such as Chime and Varo Bank, short-term credit and earned wage access providers such as Earnin, MoneyLion, and Brigit, and broader fintech platforms such as Affirm, Cash App, and Venmo. Many competitors possess greater financial resources, longer operating histories, and larger customer bases.

Added

We believe we compete effectively based on: our superior value proposition of providing up to $500 in short-term credit (in the form of discretionary overdraft through a bank partner) with no interest, late fees, or credit check; proprietary underwriting technology through CashAI; strong customer satisfaction reflected in our App Store rating; an integrated product ecosystem driving higher engagement and lifetime value; and structural cost advantages through efficient, technology-driven operations.

Added

Competitive pressures could increase marketing spend or reduce competitive positioning. Our long-term success depends on continued product differentiation and technological leadership. See "Item 1. Business" and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for additional information.

Removed

We face competition from several financial services-oriented institutions. In our reportable segment, as well as in potential new lines of business, we may compete with more established institutions, some of which have more financial resources. We compete at multiple levels, including competition among other financial institutions and lenders in our ExtraCash business, competition for deposits in and debit card spending from our Dave Banking product from traditional banks and digital banking products and competition for subscribers to our personal financial management tools. Some of our competitors may at times seek to increase their market share by undercutting pricing terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share for any of our products and services or require us to incur higher member acquisition costs.

Removed

Concentration

Removed

We rely on agreements with Evolve, currently our only active bank partner, to provide ExtraCash and other deposit accounts, debit card services and other transaction services to us and our Members. See Part II Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for additional information. Given the size and consistent growth of our Member base as well as how our product capabilities have been expanding, we recently announced an additional financial institution with which we will partner.

Reworded

Industry Trends/General EconomicMacroeconomic Conditions

Added

Our business is sensitive to macroeconomic conditions. Interest rate changes directly impact funding costs and Members' settlement capacity. Unemployment affects Members' ability to repay ExtraCash. Consumer spending patterns and inflation influence cash flow and credit demand.

Added

Our real-time underwriting adapts to changing conditions through continuous transaction-level analysis. However, severe macroeconomic deterioration, including recession, significant unemployment increases, or persistent inflation, could materially impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Added

Our business is subject to moderate seasonal trends, with ExtraCash demand and Dave Checking transaction volumes generally correlating to consumer spending cycles, including increased activity during the holiday season and around tax refund periods. These seasonal patterns may result in fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results of operations.

Added

Regulatory Environment

Added

We operate in a complex and evolving regulatory environment. Regulatory developments and increased supervisory scrutiny of bank-fintech partnerships could result in changes to our product structures, increased compliance costs, or new operational requirements. We continue to monitor these developments. See "Item 1. Business—Regulatory Environment" and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for additional discussion.

Added

Recent Developments

Added

On February 25, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to buy back up to $300 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. The new program replaces the existing share repurchase program, which provided for up to $125 million repurchasing authority. As of February 25, 2026, approximately $113.2 million remained available under the existing program.

Removed

We expect economic cycles to affect our business, financial performance, and financial condition. Macroeconomic conditions, including, but not limited to, regulatory uncertainty, fluctuating interest rates, inflation, unemployment rates, and consumer sentiment may impact consumer spending behavior and consumer demand for financial products. Although the Company’s business operations have not been materially impacted as of the date of this report, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected due to the ongoing nature of these macroeconomic factors. Interest rates have remained elevated over the last two years which has increased the costs of borrowing on our Debt Facility. Higher interest rates also often lead to higher payment obligations, which may reduce the ability of Members to repay their ExtraCash and, therefore, lead to increased delinquencies, write-offs and decreased recoveries. We also believe that higher interest rates may increase demand for ExtraCash as consumers seek additional sources of liquidity to help them fund higher costs of living. Additionally, higher levels of unemployment could adversely impact Members’ income levels and, hence, the ability of Members to repay, which could lead to deterioration in credit performance. We believe that our underwriting engine is well positioned to evaluate credit risk in a higher unemployment environment as it analyzes bank account transaction data to assess, nearly in real-time, changes in Members’ income, spending, savings, and employment status. We also believe that demand for ExtraCash may increase in periods of higher unemployment as consumers seek additional sources of liquidity to help them meet their financial obligations.

Added

During the second quarter of 2025, we revised the presentation of certain items within our consolidated statement of operations. These changes have been applied retrospectively to all periods presented and did not impact previously reported net income or earnings per share.

Operating Revenues

Reworded

Service based revenue, net primarily consists of optional express processing fees, optional tips, overdraft service fees and subscriptions charged to Members, net of processor-related costs associated with ExtraCash disbursements. Service based revenue, net also consists of lead generation fees from our Side Hustle advertising partners and revenue share from our surveys partner. We discontinued optional tips and optional processing fees from our business model in February 2025.

Also included in transaction based revenue are fees earned from funding and withdrawal-related transactions, maintenance fees on inactive accounts, volume support from a certain co-branded agreement, fees earned related to the Rewards Product for Members who make debit card spending transactions at participating merchantsagreement and deposit referral fees andthat are recognized at the point in time the transactions occur, as the performance obligations are satisfied and the variable consideration is not constrained.

Reworded

We classify our operating expenses into the following fivesix categories:

Removed

Provision for Credit Losses

Reworded

The provision for credit losses primarily consists of an allowance for expected credit losses at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the outstanding ExtraCash receivables, inclusive of outstanding processing and overdraft service fees and tipstips, along with outstanding amounts aged over 120 days or which become uncollectible based on information available to us during the period. We currently estimate the allowance balance required using historical loss and collections experience, and, if relevant, the nature and volume of the portfolio, economic conditions, and other factors such as collections trends and cash collections received subsequent to the balance sheet date. Changes to the allowance have a direct impact on the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statement of operations. We consider ExtraCash receivables,receivables aged more than 120 days or which become uncollectible based on information available to us as impaired. All impaired ExtraCash receivables,receivables are deemed uncollectible and subsequently written off and are a direct reduction to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent recoveries, if any, of Member ExtraCash receivables,receivables written-off are recorded as a reduction to ExtraCash receivables, resulting in a reduction to the allowance for credit losses and a corresponding reduction to the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of operations when collected.

Removed

Processing and Servicing Costs

Reworded

Processing and servicing feescosts consist of fees paid to our processing partners for the recovery of ExtraCash, optional tips,processing fees, optional express processing fees,tips, overdraft service fees and subscriptions. These expenses also include feescosts paid for services to connect Members’ bank accounts to our application. Except for processing and servicing feescosts associated with ExtraCash originations which are recorded net against revenue, all other processing and service feescosts are expensed as incurred.

Added

Financial network and transaction costs primarily consist of program management fees, card network association fees, payment processing costs, losses related to Member-disputed transactions, bank card fees and fraud-related losses.

Removed

Advertising and Marketing

Reworded

As of the date of this Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2026, other than as noted below.below and in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Added

If we were found to be operating without having obtained necessary state or local licenses, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Added

Certain states have adopted laws regulating and requiring licensing, registration, notice filing, or other approval by parties that engage in certain activities regarding consumer finance transactions. For example, several states, including California, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, South Carolina, and Wisconsin, have adopted regulatory and licensing requirements specific to “earned wage access” products (collectively, “State Earned Wage Access Laws”). The Connecticut Department of Labor also issued guidance regarding earned wage access products, stating that the products may implicate state wage statutes and fees for the products that are passed to the employees must be approved by the Commissioner of Labor. The State Earned Wage Access Laws have exemptions for bank-issued products such as ExtraCash, but it is possible that the relevant states’ regulatory authorities may not agree with the Company’s interpretation of these exemptions.

Added

In addition, certain states have adopted laws regulating and requiring licensing by parties that engage in certain activity regarding consumer finance transactions, including facilitating and assisting such transactions in certain circumstances. These laws also may contain restrictions on the charging of certain fees or have usury limits for loans originated under those laws. The application of some consumer finance licensing and related usury or fee restriction laws to Dave is uncertain, evolving and unsettled. If we were found to be in violation of one or more of the licensure, usury or State Earned Wage Access Laws, we could be subject to fines, damages, injunctive relief, and other penalties or consequences. For example, in November 2024, the Washington, D.C. attorney general filed a complaint against the earned wage access provider EarnIn, alleging that its product is a loan, that fees for instant access to funds are misrepresented to consumers and not properly disclosed, and that the interest rate associated with the fees for instant access to funds exceeds the Washington, D.C. usury cap. Also, in April, 2025, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York filed a civil action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against MoneyLion Inc. The complaint alleges, among other things, that MoneyLion’s earned wage access product violates New York’s civil and criminal usury laws.

Added

We have also received inquiries from state regulatory agencies regarding requirements to obtain licenses from or register with those states, including in states where we have determined that we are not required to obtain such a license or be registered with the state, and we expect to continue to receive such inquiries. The application of certain consumer financial licensing laws to our platform and the related activities it performs is not always clear, and regulatory agencies may not agree with our determinations on the applicability of such laws to us. In addition, state licensing requirements may evolve over time, including, in particular, recent trends in legislation seeking to impose licensing requirements and regulation of parties engaged in the business of offering “earned wage access” products to consumers. For example, in 2023, the banking regulators in Connecticut and Maryland issued guidance (and in the case of Maryland, a regulatory change) (collectively, “State Regulatory Changes”) indicating that traditional “earned wage access” products would, under certain circumstances, be considered small loans under the state lending laws, and that optional fees and tips, which the Company previously received in connection with ExtraCash, would be finance charges for purposes of calculating the interest rate under the state’s applicable usury limit under certain circumstances. These State Regulatory Changes would subject those covered by them to licensure and limitations or prohibitions on certain charges. Although we do not believe that ExtraCash is covered by the State Regulatory Changes, there may be uncertainty regarding the application of the State Regulatory Changes to our business.

Added

We have received an inquiry from the Connecticut banking regulator relating to licensing and the State Regulatory Changes, our relationship with our bank partner, and other issues relating to earned wage access and related products we offer in Connecticut. We have also received an inquiry from the Maryland banking regulator regarding licensure and the State Regulatory Changes. In addition, we have received a subpoena from the Maryland Attorney General requesting information regarding any earned wage access and related products that we offer in the state of Maryland, including information relating to marketing practices, fees, our bank partnership, and other issues. We have also received a subpoena from the New York State Department of Financial Services for documents and information relating to products and services offered in the state of New York since 2021, including marketing materials, applications, consumer communications, terms and conditions, and fees. These inquiries and investigations are ongoing, and although we believe that our practices and products offered at all times in Connecticut, Maryland and New York have been in compliance with applicable law, the defense or resolution of these matters could involve significant monetary costs or penalties and have a significant impact on our financial results and operations.

Added

We have had recent communications with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”) which reflect that the DFPI believes that the Company is a “covered person” subject to the California Consumer Financial Protection Law (“CCFPL”) and that the DFPI intends to supervise us, in relation to the activities we engage in related to the offering of financial products and services, in the immediate future. The DFPI’s supervision of us would enable it, among other things, to conduct comprehensive and rigorous examinations and to request reports, in each case, to assess our compliance with consumer financial protection laws, which in turn may result in matters requiring attention, as well as potentially a referral for investigation and enforcement action, which may result in civil monetary penalties and limits on our activities or functions, among other relief. The DFPI, through its enforcement authority, could increase our compliance costs, potentially hinder our ability to respond to market changes, impose requirements to alter products and services that would make them less attractive to consumers and impair our ability to offer products and services profitably.

Added

If we were found to be in violation of applicable state licensing, fee restrictions, usury or other requirements by a court or a state, federal, or local enforcement agency, or agree to resolve such concerns by voluntary agreement, we could be subject to or agree to pay fines, damages, injunctive relief (including required modification or discontinuation of our business in certain areas), criminal penalties, and other penalties or consequences, and the ExtraCash receivables facilitated through our platform could be rendered void in whole or in part, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to the 2031 Notes

Removed

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the 2031 Notes, repay the 2031 Notes at maturity or repurchase the 2031 Notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the 2031 Notes.

Removed

In March 2026, we completed a private offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"). Holders of the 2031 Notes have the right, subject to certain conditions and limited exceptions, to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, upon conversion of the 2031 Notes, we are required to make cash payments in an amount at least equal to the principal amount of such notes (or, if less, the conversion value thereof). Moreover, we are required to repay the 2031 Notes in cash at the maturity date, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

Removed

However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of notes surrendered therefor or pay cash with respect to notes being converted or at their maturity. In addition, our ability to repurchase the 2031 Notes or to pay cash upon conversions of the 2031 Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness.

Removed

Our failure to repurchase notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture or to pay cash upon conversion or at the maturity date of the 2031 Notes as required by the indenture would constitute a default under the indenture. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the 2031 Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof. We have in the past been, and at any given time and from time to time may be, engaged in discussions or negotiations with respect to acquisitions, dispositions or other strategic transactions. There can be no assurance if or when we will enter into any such transactions, the terms thereof or whether such transactions will constitute a fundamental change.

Removed

The conditional conversion feature of the 2031 Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Removed

In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 2031 Notes is triggered, holders of notes will be entitled to convert the 2031 Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their notes, we would be required to make cash payments in an amount at least equal to the principal amount of such converted notes (or, if less, the conversion value thereof), which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their notes, we will be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the 2031 Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

Removed

The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such as the 2031 Notes, could adversely affect our reported financial results.

Removed

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06, Debt -- Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The amendments to this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In accordance with ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing certain of the separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will more closely approximate the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. Debt issuance costs will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt on an effective interest basis, in a manner consistent with the treatment of a debt discount. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the 2031 Notes for accounting purposes will be greater than the cash special interest payments (if any) we will make on the 2031 Notes, which will result in lower reported income.

Removed

In addition, under ASU 2020-06, the dilutive effect of convertible instruments shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of the if-converted method. Because the principal amount of the 2031 Notes is required to be settled in cash in all circumstances, regardless of when a conversion occurs, with settlement of any in-the-money conversion spread payable in cash or shares at the Company's election, the diluted EPS result under the if-converted method will be similar to the diluted EPS result under previous GAAP of applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, the shares issuable upon conversion of the 2031 Notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share except to the extent that the conversion value of the 2031 Notes exceeds the principal amount of the 2031 Notes. For diluted earnings per share purposes, the transaction is accounted for as if the number of shares of common stock that would be necessary to settle such in-the-money amount are issued. We cannot be certain that accounting standards will not change in the future, and any future changes in the accounting standards may adversely affect our diluted earnings per share.

Removed

Furthermore, if any of the conditions to the convertibility of the 2031 Notes is satisfied, then we will be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the 2031 Notes as a current, rather than long-term, liability. This reclassification could be required even if no noteholders elect to convert their notes and could materially reduce our reported net working capital.

Removed

The Capped Call Transactions may affect the value of the 2031 Notes and our common stock.

Removed

In connection with the issuance of the 2031 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (the “Capped Call Transactions”). The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 2031 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

Removed

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the Capped Call Transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates entered into various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the 2031 Notes, and they may unwind these various derivative transactions and purchase our common stock in open market transactions. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of our common stock or the 2031 Notes at that time.

Removed

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the 2031 Notes (and are likely to do so (x) during any observation period related to a conversion of the 2031 Notes on or after January 1, 2031, (y) during any observation period related to a conversion of the 2031 Notes prior to January 1, 2031 or following any repurchase of the 2031 Notes by us on any fundamental change repurchase date, any redemption date or any other date on which we retire any notes, in each case, if we elect to terminate the relevant portion of the Capped Call Transactions, and (z) in connection with any negotiated unwind or modification of the Capped Call Transactions). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock or the 2031 Notes, which could affect your ability to convert the 2031 Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the 2031 Notes, it could affect the number of shares, if any, and value and/or amount of the consideration that you will receive upon conversion of the 2031 Notes. The potential effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the market price of our common stock or the 2031 Notes will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time. Any of these activities could adversely affect the value of our common stock and the value of the 2031 Notes (and as a result, the value of the consideration or the amount of cash and/or the number of shares, if any, that you would receive upon the conversion of any notes) and, under certain circumstances, your ability to convert your notes.

Removed

We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any potential effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the 2031 Notes or our common stock. In addition, we do not make any representation that the option counterparties or their respective affiliates will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Removed

We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

Removed

The option counterparties are financial institutions, and we are subject to the risk that any or all of them might default under the Capped Call Transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the option counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. Global economic conditions have from time to time resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If an option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under our transactions with that option counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors, but, generally, an increase in our exposure will be correlated to an increase in the market price and in the volatility of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by an option counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of any option counterparty.

Removed

In addition, the terms of the Capped Call Transactions may be subject to adjustment, modification or, in some cases, renegotiation in the event of certain corporate and other transactions. The Capped Call Transactions may not operate as we intend in the event that we are required to adjust the terms of such instruments as a result of transactions in the future or in the event of other unanticipated developments that may adversely affect the functioning of the Capped Call Transactions.

Removed

Conversion of the 2031 Notes may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders, including holders who have previously converted their notes.

Removed

Upon conversion of the 2031 Notes, at our election, we may settle the portion, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes being converted entirely or partly in shares of our common stock. As a result, the conversion of some or all of the 2031 Notes may dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion of the 2031 Notes could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock and, in turn, the price of the 2031 Notes. In addition, the existence of the 2031 Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the 2031 Notes could depress the price of our common stock.

Removed

Risks Relating to our Indebtedness

Removed

Servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt.

Removed

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including our Debt Facility and the 2031 Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.

ExtraCash profitability depends on approving creditworthy Members while maintaining disciplined delinquency and write-off rates. In September 2025, we deployed CashAI v5.5, which nearly doubles the feature set of prior versions. Thus far, results demonstrate improved risk ranking, higher average approval amounts, and lower delinquency rates. CashAI has leveraged insights from over 200215 million ExtraCash originations, a proprietary cash flow dataset that we believe provides a structural advantage in real-time credit decisioning. The short average term of ExtraCash (approximately 12 days) creates rapid feedback loops, enabling iterative model refinement. Late in the second quarter of 2026, we began deploying CashAI v6.0, our latest underwriting model, which remains in the early stages of rollout and continues to scale across ExtraCash originations.

Unemployment affects Members' ability to repay ExtraCash. Consumer spending patterns and inflation influence cash flow and credit demand.

Added

Recent and proposed changes in U.S. trade policy, including tariffs and related measures, together with associated legal and regulatory developments, may contribute to higher consumer prices and inflationary pressure. While we do not import goods and have no direct tariff exposure, such conditions could reduce our Members’ discretionary income and ability to repay ExtraCash advances, which could increase our provision for credit losses and affect demand for our products. We continue to monitor these developments; as of June 30, 2026, we had not identified a material direct impact on our results of operations or financial condition from these factors.

Effective June 1, 2026, the amended Program Agreement with Coastal Community Bank ("Coastal") became effective, under which Coastal originates and retains ExtraCash receivables on its balance sheet and we hold a commitment to purchase, and provide a financial guarantee with respect to, those receivables.

On April 9, 2026 we reached a significant product development milestone with a controlled market launch of Dave Flex, a general purpose credit card integrating buy-now-pay-later functionality. The initial release has been extended to a limited subset of members to establish a foundational dataset spanning card usage and transaction volume, credit quality and delinquency trends, repayment behavior, and overall member satisfaction and engagement. This data-driven approach reflects management's commitment to disciplined product scaling. We expect to leverage performance data from this phase to validate key economic assumptions, refine risk management frameworks, and determine the appropriate pace of subsequent expansion. Dave Flex remains in an early stage, and future results will depend on, among other factors, the outcomes observed during this initial testing period.

Reworded

Currently, we conduct business through one operating segment which constitutes a single reportable segment.

Reworded

We classify our operating expenses into the following sixseven categories:

Reworded

The provision for credit losses primarily consists of an allowance for expected credit losses at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the outstanding ExtraCash receivables, inclusive of outstanding processing and overdraft service fees and tips, along with outstanding amounts aged over 120 days or which become uncollectible based on information available to us during the period. We currently estimate the allowance balance required using historical loss and collections experience, and, if relevant, the nature and volume of the portfolio, economic conditions, and other factors such as collections trends and cash collections received subsequent to the balance sheet date. Changes to the allowance have a direct impact on the provision for credit losses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. We consider ExtraCash receivables aged more than 120 days or which become uncollectible based on information available to us as impaired. All impaired ExtraCash receivables are deemed uncollectible and subsequently written offwritten-off and are a direct reduction to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent recoveries, if any, of ExtraCash receivables written-off are recorded as a reduction to the provision for credit losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations when collected. The provision for credit losses also reflects expected credit losses on purchased Dave Flex receivables and, beginning June 1, 2026, changes in the off-balance-sheet credit-loss liability for guaranteed ExtraCash receivables held by Coastal.

Reworded

Processing and servicing costs consist of fees paid to our processing partners for the recovery of ExtraCash, and, in periods prior to February 2025, optional processing fees,fees and optional tips, overdraft service fees and subscriptions. These expenses also include costs paid for services to connect Members’Members' bank accounts to our application. Except for processing and servicing costs associated with ExtraCash originations which are recorded net against revenue, all other processing and serviceservicing costs are expensed as incurred.

Removed

Compensation and benefits

Reworded

Other operating expenses primarily include legal fees and settlements, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and internally developed software, charitable contributions, travel and entertainment, office and occupancy costs, insurance, sales tax and other taxes, computer expenses, licenses and fees, dues and subscriptions, balance sheet capacity fees, and other general and administrative costs. These costs generally reflect our investments in infrastructure, business development, risk management, and administrative operations, and may vary period to period based on operational needs and strategic initiatives.

Comparison of the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025

Reworded

Processing and overdraft service fees, net of processing and servicing costs associated with ExtraCash originations, totaled $133.6$144.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, representing an increase of $50.1$31.5 million, or 60%,28%, compared to $83.4$113.5 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by an approximate 18%17% increase in average monthly transacting Members, an increase in total ExtraCash origination volume from approximately $1.5$1.8 billion to approximately $2.1$2.3 billion, a rise in the average ExtraCash amounts that increased from $192$206 to $212$215 period over periodperiod, andthe increaseschanges to our fee structure thatimplemented tookin placeFebruary 2025, and the removal of the maximum overdraft service fee (the "fee cap") for certain Member cohorts during February 2025. In addition, both the averagesecond quarter of 2026. Average processing and overdraft service fees also increased modestlyslightly duringperiod over period, in part reflecting the currentfee period.cap removal. We expect processing and overdraft service fees to continue to increase in line with growth in ExtraCash volume and Member engagement.

Removed

Tips decreased $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the elimination of the Member tipping option in February 2025.

Reworded

Subscription revenue totaled $13.9$15.1 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, an increase of $7.1$7.0 million, or 105%,87%, compared to $6.8$8.1 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth in the number of paying Members on our platform, as well as the increase in additionthe tomonthly subscription fee increases for new Members thatimplemented took place duringin June 2025.

Reworded

Transaction based revenue, net, was $10.8$10.7 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, an increase of $0.7$0.6 million, or 7%,6%, compared to $10.1$10.2 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by interchange revenue resulting from the growth in Members engaging with our Checking Product and increased card spend and transaction volume, which rose approximately 9% period over period. Additionally, transaction based revenue, net increased primarily due tohigher fees earned from higher Members' funding and withdrawal-related transactions, maintenance fees on inactive accounts, and volume incentives from our card network partners. Net interchange revenue was relatively flat period over period, as growth in Members engaging with our Checking Product and an approximately 7% increase in card spend and transaction volume was substantially offset by related interchange costs. These increases were partially offset by a slight decrease in ATM revenue due to temporarilylower reducedATM feetransaction rates,volume asand well as a slight increasedecrease in interestdeposit duereferral to Members.fees.

Provision for credit losses—The provision for credit losses was $28.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $25.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in an increase of $3.5 million, or 14%. The increase was primarily driven by growth in ExtraCash origination volume and continued expansion of our Member base. Underlying credit performance and historical loss rates remained relatively stable period over period, supported by our CashAI underwriting engine, including the September 2025 deployment of CashAI v5.5 and the initial deployment of CashAI v6.0 late in the second quarter of 2026. Because the allowance for credit losses is estimated by applying historical loss rates, by aging bucket, to the balances of ExtraCash receivables outstanding at the period-end measurement date, and provision expense represents the change in that allowance during the period, the provision is a function of origination volume, the level and aging of receivables outstanding at period end, historical loss rates, and the timing of originations and collections, including the calendar day on which the period ends, given the short average term of approximately 12 days. Accordingly, the increase reflects volume growth and these balance and timing factors rather than a deterioration in credit quality. Beginning June 1, 2026, the provision reflects expected credit losses on both the Company's on-balance-sheet ExtraCash receivables and the guaranteed ExtraCash receivables held by Coastal, which the Company reserves for under the same CECL methodology and loss rates as its on-balance-sheet receivables (see Note 5, Member Receivables, Net).

Removed

Provision for credit losses—The provision for credit losses was $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, resulting in an increase of $16.0 million, or 151%. This increase reflects period-over-period growth in ExtraCash volume, continued expansion of our Member base, and credit performance trends consistent with the portfolio's expected maturation and our strategic emphasis on optimizing unit-level profitability.

Reworded

The year-over-yearperiod-over-period increase compriseswas comprised of two principal drivers. The provision for ExtraCash receivables aged over 120 days and those deemed uncollectible increased by $13.0$9.1 million, driven by higher receivable volumes and loss timing consistent with a growing Member base and maturing loanMember receivables portfolio. Provision expense for ExtraCash receivables aged 120 days and under increaseddecreased by $3.0$5.6 million, reflecting increaseda lower allowance on these balances at period end. Because provision expense represents the change in the allowance for credit losses during the period, and these receivables are short-term with an average term of approximately 12 days, the provision on the 120-days-and-under buckets moves with the balances outstanding balances.at each period end and the timing of originations and collections around the balance sheet date. The decrease reflects this balance and timing effect rather than a change in underlying credit performance or loss rates, which remained relatively stable, and occurred even as full-period origination volume grew. In aggregate, these drivers reflect the impact of portfolio expansion, including an 18%approximate 17% increase in average transacting Members, an increase in average ExtraCash advance amounts from $192$206 to $212,$215, and growth in total ExtraCash origination volume from approximately $1.5$1.8 billion to $2.1$2.3 billion for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

Reworded

Management regularly updates ExtraCash eligibility requirements, new Member conversion processes, and risk detection capabilities to align with expected loss emergence patterns and to respond to economic conditions and seasonal shifts in Member activity. Under the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, management estimates lifetime expected credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Our CECL methodology pools ExtraCash receivables based on shared risk characteristics, such as vintage and payment behavior, and applies historical loss rates adjusted for observed and forecasted economic trends, including anticipated seasonal effects.

Reworded

Historical loss rates utilized in our allowance for credit losses for the period ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 remained relatively stable compared to the prior period, reflecting expected shifts in overall collections performance. These loss rates may be influenced by the timing of collections activity relative to period-end measurement dates and the composition of aged receivables outstanding at any given reporting date. Changes in these historical loss rates directly affect both the allowance for credit losses and the corresponding provision for credit losses. All uncollectible ExtraCash receivables are written offwritten-off against the allowance for credit losses, reducing the allowance accordingly.

Reworded

an increase in salaries, bonuses, benefits and insurance, and employer taxes of $0.1 million; offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation of $0.4 million, primarily due to reductions in stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock units granted in prior years that have fully vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock units granted during the period; and Technology and infrastructure—Technology and infrastructure expenses totaled $3.4$3.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to $2.7$2.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase of $0.7$1.0 million, or 25%,33%, was primarily driven by continued investment in the reliability, security, and scalability of our systems. Management remains focused on balancing operational efficiency with infrastructure resilience, directing technology-related spend toward initiatives that support business growth, cybersecurity, and the evolving needs of our Members.
