FNB student loan
FNB student loans start from as little as R4000. As students normally do not earn an income, and when the FNB student loan has been approved, only the interest portion of the student loan is immediately payable by debit order. Grace is normally also given when students have to complete internship and therefore down payment of the loan capital will only start after completion of the internship.
Do youI qualify for a FNB student loan?
Both FNB and non FNB clients may apply for a FNB student loan although FNB clients may benefit from a better interest rate as compared to non FNB clients.
Parents, guardian or sponsor must be able to provide proof of income and must have worked for the same company for a considerable amount of time. This is in accordance with the National Credit Act of 2005 affordability of the FNB student loan will need to be determined.
The same basic principles of a normal loan application applies which simply means that a background check on the credit score rating of the individual will be done, and which will influence the interest and approval of the loan.
What can I pay with a FNB student loan?
Tuition fees, text books and in some cased even accommodation can be paid for with your student loan.
Where do I apply?
Applicants can visit their nearest FNB branch or apply online. For any telephonic enquiries individuals may call 0861 40 40 40 for assistance.
What does FNB need from me?
The student loan is opened in the name of the person who will ensure payment of the loan and for full time students this usually is a guardian or sponsor.
For a FNB student loan applicants and their guardian or sponsor will need to bring along their ID books. A settlement quotation from the institution of study where the applicant will enroll.
Proof of income.
Last three months’ banking statements if not banking with FNB.
If the sponsor or guardian is married in community of property than the same documentation will be required of their spouse.
