Review of the Wave Community Bank, Savings:

Great community bank

They go out of their way to provide great customer services abs my money works to help others in the community Reviewed on: 8th June 2021

Ethical banking

The East Sussex Credit Union is a not-for-profit community bank, run in a highly professional way by knowledgeable and friendly staff who have continued to provide an excellent service in what has been a very difficult year. With online banking and the addition of a banking app, ESCU has kept up with their huge corporate rivals in providing ease of access to banking facilities. Reviewed on: 26th March 2021

Helping hand

For those who need it this organisation gives a good return on your money whilst helping the community with affordable borrowings Reviewed on: 26th March 2021

First class customer service for loans and savings.

A wonderful way to save locally and support the community. Also a loan scheme that is based on members history within the union not their credit rating. Excellent. Reviewed on: 26th March 2021

A Great Way to Save Money

I use the Chorus scheme to save direct from my salary. It makes it so much easier to save for the future and provides access to low cost credit when I need it. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021

Benefits my community

I've been saving with East Sussex credit union since it's early days and that's helped me be prepared. I love how my savings are available as loans to other members who need them, helping to avoid unscrupulous lenders. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021

Top class!

I can't thank the ESCU enough. I had a money situation about 10 years ago and they came to the rescue with manageable loan amount/repayment at a lower interest than I was offered elsewhere. The only proviso being that I also had to pay into a share account to build up some savings at the same time. This helped to enforce good saving habits and bring me out of financial distress. Now loan free, I also have a nice little pot of savings that I continue to add to which has proved very handy to dip into for unforeseen circumstances! In addition to this, the customer service has been beyond excellent. On the one occasion (in 10 years!) that there was a blip it was resolved immediately. So, thank you ESCU and your fantastic staff! Reviewed on: 20th March 2021

Local people for local people

I admire the ethos and support for community, and no hassle contact and service Reviewed on: 9th March 2021

Continuous innovation

Thus little credit union is always seeking user friendly solutions and improve their services. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2021

Excellent consistent work

I have been with the ESCU for a few years now and they provide consistently excellent customer service, especially in 2020 during challenging times. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2021

A community bank

Very much centred in the local community- the credit union is a modern organisation, web access to accounts, and enabling people to borrow when they need to without crippling interest rates Reviewed on: 20th February 2021
