About this deal

He's the subject of a new ITV documentary, and viewers want to know what happened to the bigamist after he was caught On Dave's loan company being more important than ever during the cost of living crisis, Kinnear said "But there’s a limited amount of cash. So, do other people have the energy to create a similar thing? To show there’s a fairer way, rather than people just being cut off… Shows you the limitations of the capitalist system – that if you can’t pay, you’re out." He added "I don’t know what the alternative is. I don’t have the answers, nor the energy. But we need to flag this up. It will be the death of us as a race if the apogee of human existence remains to own a private jet. That’s what we’re selling. That’s what we consider success to be. And everyone who involves themselves in the selling of that formula, well, I’d ask them to reconsider. Or to at least consider…" Billed by Dave himself as the “first Hollywood film ever to premiere outside London”, the debut showing was attended by Rory Kinnear and Jo Hartley, who plays Dave’s wife Nicola, as well as MPs for Burnley and Pendle, Anthony Higginbotham and Andrew Stephenson. But it was an excellent, tense and warm-hearted climax to an inspiring film. Who knows, maybe life will imitate art, and the Bank of Dave will finally become a reality after all? Watch this space.

Chris Foggin, director of the film, said: 'I was immediately drawn to this story about the triumph of community, and I'm delighted to be working with such a wonderful cast. I truly believe the world needs films like this.' As the movie cheekily states, Bank of Dave is the "true(ish) story" as it adds some creative flourishes to make Dave's story even more heartwarming. We're not complaining, it's a great watch, but you might want to know the real true story.Ginny & Georgia season 1 recap: Everything that happened in the first season ahead of the season 2 release

Bank of Dave: How I Took On the Banks by Dave Fishwick

But that money was never raised, and the company isn’t actually a bank (technically it’s an ‘independent lending company’) and is still in the process of trying to get its banking licence as The Bank of Dave.Joel Fry, who recently starred as a lead in big-budget family movie Cruella, plays young London lawyer Hugh who is hired by Dave to fight his case against the British banking system. This concert is what leads Dave to be able to set up his own bank after securing the first banking licence to be issued in 150 years. However, in real life, that's not strictly true as it's not really called the Bank of Dave. Dave's argument is that banking works when it does what it was created to do centuries ago: help grow local economies through direct evaluation of value and risk. He claims, implicitly and sometimes explicitly, that despite "Big Data" and computational analysis, global banks simply don't care about the data that makes solid value/risk decisionmaking possible and useful. He makes a pretty solid evidentiary case, as he describes taking on a series of small businesspeople who'd been rejected for financing by their banks. Do I need to fit winter tyres to my car now it is getting colder? And what are the differences and benefits to summer tyres and all-season tyres? The real-life Dave is a fan of Def Leppard, so it was producer Piers Tempest's idea to add them into the story. Dave told The Sun it was "probably, if not definitely, the best day of my life" when the band flew in to perform three songs for the fundraising concert we see in the movie.

Halifax axes paper statements for online banking customers due to 'issues' with sending physical copies Ginny & Georgia season 2 ending explained: Everything that happened in the finale of the Netflix family drama Dancing On Ice viewers spot sign Torvill and Dean's 'live' performance pre-recorded with 'fake' audience cheers BBC Breakfast presenters interview Dave about Bank On Dave, Burnley Savings and Loans, and how his life and success has led to a Netflix deal with A-List movie stars for a Burnley-based feelgood movie ‘The Bank of Dave’ Dave spoke about watching the credit crunch hitting his hometown of Burnley hard, witnessing local businesses closing on a daily basis. With no money to get things moving, he looked into expanding and not just lending money to his own customers, but also to those in the wider community. He said "lending money to my customers had made me realise that banking was actually quite a simple process: you just take people's money and then lend it out to other people, making sure you charge them more interest than you pay out. So I thought maybe I could open a tiny bank to serve the local community. Not a big bank but maybe a better bank. How hard could it be?"While producers have of course polished and added elements to the Netflix hit to make it more entertaining, the business does exist in real life. Called Burnley Savings & Loans (BSAL), it is trading under the slogan “Bank of Dave!" at 30 Keirby Walk.

While not a bank but rather an independent lending business, BSAL lends money to people and businesses who were unsuccessful in applying for loans at high street banks. Burnley Savings and Loans Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN: 717019). Not only did Def Leppard not play the concert, the concert itself never happened, and the funds were never raised – part of the reason why the Bank of Dave isn’t actually a real bank yet.
