Our Story

When the big banks turned their backs on hard-working people after the financial crisis, Dave Fishwick decided to do something about it . In 2011 he founded Burnley Savings and Loans with one radical idea at its heart: finance should be fair for everyone, and every penny of profit should go to good causes . He proved that a bank could lend to local people on decent, common-sense terms and still make a positive difference in the community .

What do we mean by “fair” finance? For Dave, fair finance means always putting people before profit. It means we work with a range of partner lenders to find you the best deal we can – if one of them can offer a better rate or a more suitable loan than we can, we’ll make sure you get that option . It also means doing everything we can to help more folks get approved for loans that are affordable and responsible, rather than leaving people with nowhere to turn. And “fair” isn’t just a slogan – it’s a promise that we give back to the community. We don’t pocket the profits ourselves; every pound we earn is donated to local charities and good causes to help others . In short, Dave’s approach is about doing what’s right for you, the customer, every single time.

Since then, this fair approach to finance has helped thousands of people across the UK, showing that banking can put people first. Dave’s mission has even inspired the Netflix “Bank of Dave” films and sparked a growing movement of ethical lenders fighting for real change in the financial world . As Dave himself puts it, we have a duty to act in the very best interests of our customers at all times – proving that finance can be fair, and that when you “Bank on Dave,” you’re banking on something better for everyone.

Why We Do This
WHERE OUR PROFITS GO

I sent an email asking for help to release me from being a mortgage prisoner. I didn't expect a response but to my surprise I was contacted by a Mortgage Avisor called James Adamson. James turned out to be my Knight in shining armour. He secured a Mortgage for me with Principality Building Society which has now completed and I am released from an interest only Mortgage. How I wish I had contacted the Bank of Dave sooner.
