Third-Level Student Loan
Third-Level Student Loan
Every year we lend to hundreds of Students to help them achieve their educational goals. As we know this is a very expensive time, we offer Third Level Education Loans at just 4.9%* (5.1% APR). This loan has proven extremely popular with over €700,000 issued last year alone! Usually people borrow between €2,000 & €5,000 each Student’s needs are different. For example, some may be studying in the UK & require a lot more.
Example: A loan of €10,000 over 5 Years would have 60 Monthly repayments of €197.58. Total Interest Payable: €1,854.04. Total Amount Repayable €11,854.04
Guarantor Information
A Guarantor will be required for Third Level Student Loans. Guarantors will be required to supply some information about their own circumstances. You can plan ahead & be prepared by completing this form and supplying us with it at the point of application.
How To Apply
To make a loan application, you must be a member. You can apply online via Online Banking, call us on 0818 345 925 or speak to us in your local branch.
I Have An Account
Once the student has an account, and received an offer, ensure there is at least €60 in Shares (savings). The fastest and easiest way to borrow is to download our app & apply for the loan/top-up in the app.
In a branch, you can attend the loans dept. Loan applications are taken on a first come, first served basis. Once you take a seat in the waiting area you will be called in, in turn. Please ensure you know how much you will need. Perhaps do a breakdown before you come in to us. We can lend for Fees, Accommodation, laptops etc. We do not lend for travel, food etc. Only for the larger expenses.
