What is an Overseas Education Loan?

The idea of furthering your studies overseas can be extremely thrilling. Your child gets to experience a different life out of Singapore, meet new friends and more importantly, experience what it is like to study in well-known institutions across the globe.


All this excitement also comes at a hefty cost. Overseas education costs go well into the six figures, and few can afford this just from their pocket.


This is why an overseas education loan can be a huge lifesaver.


An overseas education loan is a form of an education loan which helps your child fulfil his / her dreams of studying overseas. You will be able to use it to cater to your child’s tuition fees and living expenses overseas, amongst other things.


This way, your child will receive the education that they have always dreamed of, and you can pay for that education slowly over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does an overseas education loan work?

An overseas education loan functions in about the same way as an education / study loan would.

The difference is that an overseas education loan is specifically tailored to cater for any spends that might occur during your time overseas.

These include your tuition fees and living expenses (food, accommodation, utilities, travel, etc.).

With so much to account for and being in a foreign land, an overseas education loan can help you take care of your overseas living and studying costs, while you better assimilate into life overseas.

What are some uses of an overseas education loan?

With a local education loan, you will be able to cover for the following, but not limited to:

  • Tuition fees
  • Accommodation
  • Food
  • Transport
  • Travel
  • Airline fares
  • Computer / laptop
  • Textbooks
  • Software licences
  • Special courses and training opportunities

 

How does your overseas education loan differ from those from banks?

The three main differentiating factors between our overseas education loan compared to banks are:

  • Speed
  • Ease of application
  • Service rendered

We believe in providing you with a personal loan in the shortest time possible.

This is why we have streamlined our borrowing process into 3 simple steps.

Moreover, we do not go through rigorous credit checks and also do not require much paperwork.

Ultimately, our experienced loan officers will be there to guide you on the best overseas education loan package for your needs and provide professional advice. This is so that you’ll be able to fulfil your dreams of studying overseas and living independently.
