Burnley Savings and Loans (BSAL) is an independent lending company based in Burnley, England. It was founded by Dave Fishwick, a local businessman, in 2011.

The scheme gained media attention after Fishwick's early efforts were captured in a series for Channel 4 in 2012, including his call for Parliament to reform the banking system. In 2017, BSAL applied to become a UK regulated bank, "The Bank of Dave", offering an expanded range of products to a wider audience. A film series starring Rory Kinnear and fictionalising its forming was released: Bank of Dave (2023) and Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger (2025).
