A bank that gives career development loans in England?

Posted on by

I am a foreign student who will be doing a Phd in England…I just moved over here and i am looking for some loans..i tried to several banks Barckleys,Royal Bank of Scotland, Sant Anders, The one with the horse symbol…and few others..they all require to stay at least 1 year in UK before you ask a loan even if you open an account with them and you reside in England…Any Bank suggestion I should try? I know it wont be easy thanks

Sorry to tell you this but they all work on a similar way. You need to have been “settled” in the UK and have the right to remain here (e.g. if you are from another EU country) in order to qualify for these loans.

See the link below for more info. You are supposed to have lived here for three years to be eligible.
