David Fishwick

David Fishwick (born March 1971) is an English businessman. Born in Nelson, Lancashire, he left school at sixteen with no qualifications, before opening David Fishwick Minibus Sales and becoming the biggest minibus supplier in Britain. After finding that big banks were no longer willing to lend his customers money following the 2007–2008 financial crisis, he opened Burnley Savings and Loans, which used the advertising slogan "Bank on Dave".

His efforts were documented in the 2012-2013 Channel 4 series ''Bank of Dave''. After finding that customers were coming to him having tangled with payday loan firms, he investigated the industry for the 2014 Channel 4 series ''Dave: Loan Ranger''. Both of these Channel 4 series won British Academy Scotland Awards. His efforts at setting up a bank were loosely adapted for the 2023 film ''Bank of Dave''. Provided by Wikipedia
