Hi
If i take out a graduate loan can i increase payments over time.. or maybe pay off larger chunks when i have spare cash lying around? or do banks not allow this (my grad account is with natwest).
Thanks

Just ask before you apply, "can I make overpayments?"
Why do you have to get a graduate loan? Egg or cahoot have very flexible loans, that allow overpayments.0 -
I think the OP is talking about the 0% graduate loan that NatWest offers to pay off your Student overdraft. Personally, I would avoid the loan and keep the overdraft. Then you can clear it/borrow back what you like over 3 years (within their limits) anyway.0

graduate loans are the very reason why i am so much debt today.
only just cleared one of them off.
still got another few years left on one.
please avoid getting one if you can.A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.0
