A star whose life story features in a Netflix film has issued an important message to MrBeast after claims have been made that the YouTuber is opening his own bank.

Dave Fishwick’s real life experience of setting up his own community bank in a bid to help local businesses thrive in Burnley, England.

Fishwick reacted to a post made on X, formerly Twitter, which read: “BREAKING: @MrBeast has filed a trademark to launch his own bank. The org will be called MrBeast Financial.

“The filing was submitted on an intent-to-use basis, which under trademark law means there are genuine plans to bring this to life.”

Sharing the post, Fishwick wrote: “Dear @MrBeast, I built the Bank of Dave and will gladly give you some advice if you would like to build a people's bank, to help real people.

“I understand the UK banking system and also the American banking system. You can watch my movies on @Netflix or my documentaries, books, and newspapers online to see #BankofDave #LoanRanger.”

Fishwick became a successful businessman after leaving school with no qualifications and opening David Fishwick Minibus Sales, which went on to become the biggest minibus supplier in Britain.

After the 2008 financial crisis, the Brit realized that major banks would no longer loan money to his customers and decided to open Burnley Savings and Loans, which used the slogan ‘Bank on Dave’.

This became the subject of a documentary series titled Bank of Dave and later was adapted to a film with the same name.

A sequel titled Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger is available to watch on Netflix.

Many people took to social media to share their reactions to MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, potentially opening his own bank, with one user writing: “Put me on the BeastCard wait list @MrBeast my credit score is good.”

Another said: “An interesting pivot.. can’t say I would want to be caught receiving financing from a bank named ‘MrBeast Financial’.”

A third person commented: “Can’t wait for the beast credit card where every time I like his video I get 100 points.”

And a fourth added: “They check your YouTube metrics before giving you a credit line.”

There’s no word yet what exactly MrBeast Financial will entail or whether it will actually be a bank but it seems like Fishwick is on hand to offer his advice to the content creator!
