Dave Fishwick, a self-made entrepreneur and philanthropist from Burnley, left school without qualifications but went on to build Britain’s first new high street bank in over 120 years. His extraordinary story inspired Hollywood and Netflix, resulting in the globally acclaimed movie, The Bank of Dave, which became one of Netflix's most successful independent British films.

With six multi-million-pound businesses spanning the UK and America, Dave is recognized as the largest supplier of minibuses in Britain, earning the attention of policymakers, regulators, and multinational banks. His expertise in entrepreneurship, business, and finance is showcased through Channel 4’s The Bank of Dave series and his bestselling book, Bank of Dave: How I Took On the Banks. His fight for fair access to financial services has made him a “people’s champion” and garnered support from UK politicians, including the Prime Minister.

Dave’s success on television includes hit shows like Bank of Dave: Fighting the Fat Cats, Secret Millions, and the award-winning Loan Ranger. He has used these platforms to shine a light on critical issues such as payday loan exploitation and youth empowerment. In addition, Dave frequently appears on live TV, sharing expert financial advice on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, This Morning, BBC’s Breakfast, Newsnight, and Politics Show. He is also known internationally, with appearances on CNN and CNBC.

An experienced pilot, Dave has taken TikTok by storm with the fastest-growing aviation channel, amassing over 55 million views in 18 months. His accomplishments include winning two BAFTA Awards and six Broadcast Awards, including the Royal Television Society Award, alongside a diverse portfolio of TV series like How To Get Rich and his live BBC series with Kym Marsh.

Netflix’s The Bank of Dave documentary series, now remastered into 6K, and the National Film Award-winning feature film, continue to bring Dave’s story to global audiences. Filming for The Bank of Dave Sequel, set to release in January 2025, marks another milestone in his groundbreaking journey.
