Compare our Loans

At Wave Community Bank, we serve our members by providing an ethical way to borrow. If you have credit cards or are paying interest on your bank overdraft then you could save money by consolidating that debt into loan with us. You can compare our rates here.

Wave Community Bank can save you money on the cost of a loan when you switch to ethical lending with us.

In addition to loan repayments, we have a minimum compulsory savings ‘element’ of £25 per month – you cannot withdraw this money during the loan period, but it will be available at the end of the loan for you to either continue saving with us and add to, draw upon or use as security against future loans. In this way you build up a savings ‘pot’ for future use.

Our interest is calculated on a daily basis – there are no hidden charges or ‘catches’.
