Wave Community Bank is delighted to announce a new partnership with Lightning Fibre, a collaboration that underscores our shared commitment to building financially resilient communities across East Sussex.
About Lightning Fibre
Lightning Fibre is a community-focused, independent full-fibre broadband provider based in Eastbourne, East Sussex. Serving towns and cities including Eastbourne, Hastings, Hailsham, St Leonard’s, Brighton & Hove, Worthing, Heathfield, and Broad Oak, they deliver high-speed broadband solutions to both residential and business customers. Known for their strong network of partners, suppliers, trade associations, and not-for-profit organisations, Lightning Fibre is dedicated to helping local businesses and communities thrive — values that align closely with those of Wave Community Bank.
Supporting financial resilience through workplace savings
Through this partnership, Lightning Fibre employees will have access to Wave Community Bank’s Chorus Workplace Savings Scheme. This scheme offers staff a simple, convenient way to save directly from their wages, alongside access to affordable loans, ethical savings options, and a wide range of financial education resources.
By making savings and loans accessible via payroll deduction, employees can confidently manage their finances, plan for the future, and build greater financial resilience — all with ease and flexibility.
The advantage of partnering with a local credit union
By teaming up with a local, member-owned credit union, Lightning Fibre is investing in the long-term wellbeing of its staff. Chorus gives organisations like Lightning Fibre the tools to support their teams’ financial health, reduce money worries, and boost overall financial security — all while contributing to the economic strength of our wider community.
Chorus: A free, value-added benefit for employers
One of the standout benefits of Chorus is that it is completely free for employers to introduce. Any organisation based in East Sussex, Kent, Medway, or the London Borough of Bexley can offer the scheme to their employees at no cost — making it a simple, ethical, and effective way to enhance their workplace benefits package.
Join us in strengthening local communities
We believe that partnerships like this are key to creating a brighter, more resilient future for all. We are proud to be working with Lightning Fibre and invite other organisations across our service areas to explore how Chorus can support their teams’ financial wellbeing.
For more information on how to introduce Chorus at your organisation, please visit our Save With Chorus website or contact jason.smith@wavecb.org.uk.
Together, we’re building stronger communities — one employee at a time.
