    I always recommend wave to anyone that will listen

    Absolutely amazing. Been with wave for around 3 years now. Beyond amazing. Low interest rates which include savings you can’t touch until your loan is paid off.

Wave Community Bank provides me and my community ethical banking and savings at a time when the cost of living crisis makes me anxious, and in doubt about traditional financial organisations that seem to act for profit not for their customers.

After several years of mental health difficulties, my earnings decreased and my credit rating was impacted. However I was able to consolidate debts twice with Wave. It was easy, and the staff make direct contact with you throughout the process. Wave was there for me when no other loan provider was and it's meant I have been able to pay off debts and save at the same time. Read more Read less
