I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the handling of my membership and loan application. I was surprised to learn that my application was cancelled due to a lack of communication, as I was not informed that any further action or response was required from me.

I save money through their workplace saving scheme which has helped me massively when my car needed work done on it and i could use the money i had saved with Wave as an emergency pot to cover these costs meaning i didn't need to stress about how i was going to pay to get my car back on the road. Now I'm going to start saving for a holiday as I need one. Read more Read less

    So easy to save each month

    I save directly through my salary - it couldn't be easier to do. A simple form completion - my employer is a partner with Wave and job done
