Wave Community Bank
Your local community bank providing ethical, affordable loans and savings accounts to people living or working in East Sussex, Brighton & Hove, Kent, Medway and the London Borough of Bexley, and members of Unite the Union in the South East Region in a way that benefits the local community.
Savings
With our ethical savings you can be sure that your money is being looked after. Our common bond means that any money you save is kept in the local community as your savings help more local people access affordable, ethical Loans.
Loans
We are an ethical lender and only lend to people who can afford to take on the debt. As all of our loans contain a saving element to repayments, we will help you to get out of debt and build your saving. Turning borrowers into savers is what we do.
