How to delete Dave cash advance app

Avoiding another surprise one-dollar deduction from Dave is simple as long as you follow the right sequence and give the company a short processing window. The walkthrough below shows the fastest way to shut everything down from inside the app, explains how to close your account by email if the app is already gone, and highlights common timing mistakes that keep the membership fee alive.

Close the account in the app

1. Open Settings: Launch Dave, tap the small gear icon on the home screen.
2. Zero your balance: Repay every ExtraCash advance and transfer any leftover funds to your regular bank account.
3. Cancel membership: In Settings choose Membership, tap Cancel Membership, and finish the prompts; the $1 fee stops after the current cycle.
4. Close account: Return to Settings, pick Edit profile, select Close my Dave Account, follow the confirmations, and wait for Dave’s closure email.

If the app is already deleted

1. Collect details: Have your full name, phone number on file, and the email tied to Dave ready.
2. Send the request: Email support@dave.com with the subject line Close my Dave account, include the details from step 1, and ask for closure.
3. Mind the calendar: Hit send at least three business days before your next monthly fee to guarantee the $1 charge doesn’t recur.

Timing and hidden snags

• Dave will reject the closure if any ExtraCash balance is unpaid, the account is negative, or funds remain.
• Deleting the app or unlinking your bank manually does not cancel membership; the $1 fee continues until cancellation is confirmed.
• Money left in the account after you request closure is mailed as a paper check, so move it out first.
• Statements and tax forms disappear once the account shuts down; download anything you need beforehand.
• Processing takes up to three business days, and withdrawals can occur during that window if the cycle date arrives.

After Dave confirms

• Remove the app from your phone to free space and avoid accidental log-ins.
• Check your bank a week later to verify no additional Dave withdrawals posted.
• Keep the confirmation email; it has the ticket number and date in case you need proof of closure.

Following the steps above, waiting the required three business days, and zeroing every balance ensures Dave disconnects from your bank for good and the nagging $1 membership fee finally stops.
