These are common frauds and you may be about to become a victim. For help and support, please call our fraud team on 0800 096 8669.

Graduate loan FAQs

The interest rate you’ll get depends on a number of factors, including the amount borrowed, the term of the loan, and your personal circumstances.

To find out how much your loan will cost you can get a personalised quote, which won't affect your credit rating. This puts you under no obligation to proceed with the loan but will enable you to see how much you can borrow and what it may cost.

The maximum amount you can apply for with a graduate loan is £10,000.

To apply for a graduate loan, you’ll need to be over 18, a UK resident and be employed or have a regular income.

We carry out credit checks, and you’re unlikely to be approved if:

  • You earn less than £850 a month after tax 
  • Have been declared bankrupt, had County Court Judgements, been subject to an Individual Voluntary Arrangement in the last 6 years 
  • Or missed payments on any borrowing
