Education Loan
We recognise that further education can be a financially challenging prospect. Whether you’re a student, mature student or parent of a student, we can ease the financial burden by enabling you to borrow the amount you need, when you need.
Our Student Loan rate of 7.5 % is one of the best on the market today and we can tailor a flexible and affordable repayment solution that suits your current circumstances.
Why a Sarsfield Credit Union Education Loan is different;
- There are no hidden fees or transaction charges.
- Up to 3 Months Pre Approval.
- Our interest rates are fair and reasonable compared to others in the market.
- Repayments are calculated on your reducing balance, so you pay less interest with each repayment.
- Your credit union loan is insured - subject to terms and conditions - at no direct cost to you. Other lenders charge for this.
- You can pay off your loan early, make additional lump sum repayments or increase your regular repayments, without a penalty. Other lenders may charge you extra for paying them back faster!
