Grad Loan repayment

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.

    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.
  • 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.
