With an ExtraCash account, you can set yourself up to have extra money on hand when you need it. You can deposit up to $500, and the account offers an overdraft service that allows you to get money, if eligible. Think of it as your unexpected expenses or emergency cash needs.

If you need access to additional money when you’re running short, we got you covered. Many members use ExtraCash when they’re short on cash, need same day cash, or want to get money before payday. Get ExtraCash from Dave by overdrafting your account up to $500, if eligible. You could put it toward your next grocery run, a patch for that popped tire, or even a trip to your cousin’s wedding.



There’s no interest, credit check, or late fees. Eligibility criteria apply.

It’s for anyone who wants a hand covering everyday spending, emergencies, or can’t-miss opportunities. We designed the overdraft service to help out when you need a little extra. Then simply settle up on your due date.
