Affordable loan rates with Chorus

We offer great loan rates for employees repaying loans through Chorus.

Also our loans all have a savings element to the repayments so anyone repaying a loan is also creating a savings pot that they can access when the loan has been repaid. We foster a responsible attitude to credit and only lend to loan applicants that can afford to meet the repayments.

You can set up regular savings into your account straight from your wages by completing a payroll deduction mandate.  You can reach your savings goals with the Wave Save account which helps you to set goals and targets for your savings, all through the Wave Community Bank app and online banking facility.
